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.

How do I know if ellacor™ is right for me?

The ellacor™ System with Micro-Coring™ Technology is indicated for use by medical professionals for the treatment of moderate and severe wrinkles in the mid to lower face in adults 22 years or older with Fitzpatrick skin types 1-4.

How does ellacor™ work?

The ellacor™ System uses hollow needles to remove micro-cores of of excess skin, resulting in an improved appearance of wrinkles without evidence of scarring1,2 and faster healing time than many energy-based procedures. 

How is the ellacor™ System different from other skin revitalization devices?

Ellacor™ removes micro-portions of excess skin to achieve an improvement in the appearance of wrinkles, whereas many other skin revitalization devices use heat generated by laser, radiofrequency and ultrasound energy to induce intentional thermal injury to the skin. 

How is ellacor™ different from microneedling?

Microneedling uses small needles to injure the tissue, but it is not actually removed during this procedure – the tissue is temporarily displaced. Ellacor™ is the first device to actually remove skin on the micro-scale.

How many treatments will I need?

As every patient has different needs, we recommend you speak with your provider to determine the treatment plan that is right for you. In the clinical trial, most patients underwent a series of three treatments spaced approximately 30 days apart.
