What is ellacor™ System with Micro-Coring™ Technology?
The ellacor™ System is a first-of-its-kind technology for the treatment of wrinkles that removes micro-cores of excess skin in the mid and lower face on the microscale, without surgery or the use of thermal energy.
Treatment Areas
The ellacor™ System with Micro-Coring™ Technology is indicated for use by medical professionals for the treatment of moderate to severe wrinkles in the mid to lower face.
Benefits of Ellacor™
- Minimal Downtime (3-day average)
- Reduces excess skin by about 5 to 8 percent per treatment
- No Scarring
- Long-lasting Results
- No thermal injury to the skin
- A typical treatment removes equivalent of 2 square inches of skin
- Most patients in clinical trial reported pain during the procedure less than 2 on a 0-10 scale. You will provided with appropriate anesthesia prior to the procedure to make you more comfortable.
How Does Ellacor™ Work?
The ellacor™ System uses hollow needles to remove excess skin on the microscale. After the skin is removed, the body’s natural healing response goes into effect as the skin quickly realigns to close the cores.
Ellacor™ removes micro-portions of excess skin to achieve an improvement in the appearance of wrinkles without the evidence of scarring and faster healing than many energy-based procedures that use heat generated by laser, radiofrequency and ultrasound energy to induce intentional thermal injury to the skin.
