Ellacor® in Miami, FLWhat is Ellacor®?

Ellacor® is a non-surgical treatment that can remove sagging skin to reduce wrinkles in the mid-to-lower face. It is loosely similar to microneedling treatments, as the Ellacor® device uses hollow needles to penetrate the skin. As it pierces the skin’s surface, the Ellacor® device removes cores of skin using its hollow needles. This process removes approximately 8% of skin while triggering a healing response in the body, which rejuvenates the skin as it closes the gaps. This award-winning procedure has become a top choice for patients who want to avoid surgery while still improving moderate to severe facial wrinkles.

What are the Benefits of Ellacor®?

Ellacor® offers benefits that include:
  • First and only FDA approved treatment for non-surgical skin removal
  • Removes excess skin

How Does Ellacor® Work?

Ellacor® works using a technique known as Micro-Coring®. While there are many non-surgical solutions for rejuvenating the skin, Ellacor® is the only one that actually removes the skin. Its hollow needles are able to remove “micro-cores” of skin as the Ellacor® device is applied to the treatment area. This is done without heat or laser energy, and the needles are small enough to eliminate any risk of scarring. The Ellacor® treatment triggers a healing response that stimulates collagen production, rapidly healing and tightening the skin in the treatment area.

Is the Ellacor® Treatment Painful?

Prior to the Ellacor® treatment, we can provide the necessary anesthesia to ensure your comfort and safety. On a scale from 0 to 10, most patients rank the pain levels during the Ellacor® treatment at a 2 or lower.

What is Recovery Like After Ellacor® Treatments?

The recovery period after Ellacor® treatments can range from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the patient’s response to treatment. Generally, patients can expect some swelling and redness in the skin, and may want to take at least a few days off of social activities until these side effects fade. Fortunately, the recovery process is pain-free and requires very little aftercare.

How is Ellacor® Different from Microneedling?

Ellacor® and microneedling are similar in that they both use small needles to rejuvenate the skin. However, the main difference is that Ellacor® uses hollow needles, while microneedling does not. Ellacor® uses hollow needles that remove cores of skin during treatment. Conversely, microneedling uses solid needles that simply displace the skin to trigger a healing response. While both offer rejuvenation benefits, Ellacor® is the only non-surgical treatment that can actually remove excess skin to provide dramatic improvements in sagging skin, wrinkles and lines.

How Many Ellacor® Treatments Will I Need?

Dr. Rubinstein typically recommends a series of 3 Ellacor® treatment sessions performed at 30-day intervals. Results will continue to develop as you progress through your treatment sessions, with final results appearing approximately six months after your final treatment session.

Am I a Candidate for Ellacor®?

Ellacor® is a minimally-invasive treatment that is suitable for most patients with Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV. If you are interested in removing excess skin and improving lines and wrinkles in the mid-to-lower face, you may be a good candidate for Ellacor®. However, the best way to determine your candidacy for Ellacor® treatments is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Rubinstein.
