Ellacor® is a groundbreaking, FDA-cleared, minimally invasive procedure that uses micro-coring technology to rejuvenate the lower face and areas around the mouth by removing up to 8% of skin tissue without scarring. Unlike microneedling, which punctures the skin to stimulate collagen, Ellacor® uses hollow needles to physically remove skin micro-cores, tightening and smoothing the skin in a way that feels like a mini-facelift without the surgery.
The treatment takes about 30 minutes, and the body’s natural healing response promotes smoother, firmer skin. The procedure is quick, but the results are lasting. Local anesthetic is used to numb the area, and pinpoint bleeding is common but minimal, stopping quickly. Recovery typically includes redness and swelling for a few days, with ointment recommended for one to two days and avoiding makeup for a week.
Ellacor® is ideal for patients aged 22 and older (Fitzpatrick skin types I–IV) with mild to moderate signs of aging in the lower face and around the mouth. If you're looking for a middle ground between fillers and surgery, Ellacor® is worth considering. For deeper wrinkles, a series of three treatments spaced 30 days apart is recommended.
