New Wrinkle Reduction Treatment at Skin Wellness: Ellacor

Browse by

As we age, our bodies begin to change—wrinkles appear in places we never thought possible, and skin begins to sag where it was once firm and taut. The natural aging process, combined with factors like sun exposure and lifestyle choices, contributes to the formation of wrinkles. Retinoids, derived from vitamin A, can help prevent wrinkles by activating collagen and elastin deep within the skin. The results of aging aren’t avoidable, but they are preventable. With the beauty industry continuously evolving, new technologies are making it easier for medspas and dermatology offices to fight against unwanted wrinkles and age-related skin conditions. Treatments like these can increase sensitivity to the sun, so it is recommended to wear protective clothing, like wide-brimmed hats, to safeguard the skin from sun damage.

Introducing ellacor®, a revolutionary device created by Cytrellis. This minimally invasive treatment diminishes wrinkles and skin laxity with a 91% success rate. Skin Wellness is proud to offer this new service at our Birmingham, AL, office to all our qualifying patients. Take a more in-depth look at what ellacor® can do for you and your skin.

What is ellacor® for Facial Wrinkles?

Advanced signs of facial aging, including facial wrinkles, can be difficult to treat effectively without surgery. But thanks to ellacor®, dermatologists can rejuvenate the skin without patients undergoing invasive procedures. ellacor® can also address the treatment of deep wrinkles, including prominent folds around the mouth, nose, and chin. ellacor® differs from other skin tightening treatments, as it’s the first of its kind that does not rely on tightening existing skin. Instead, this innovative technology removes micro-portions of excess skin to “delete” sagging areas. Hyaluronic acid plays a crucial role in maintaining skin hydration, elasticity, and volume, especially in advanced treatments that stimulate collagen and elastin production.

How Does ellacor® Work to Reduce Wrinkles?

ellacor® uses a fractional tissue extraction process called micro-coring to deliver smoother, tighter, younger-looking skin to the mid and lower face. Using hollow needles, the ellacor® device moves across the treatment area, removing micro-cores of skin as it goes. As the micro-holes are created, your body’s natural healing response activates, prompting skin cells to regenerate and produce new collagen and elastin. These proteins work together to close the cores and create a natural-looking result.

Chemical peels are another effective method for addressing wrinkles, skin discoloration, and scars by removing the top layers of skin.

ellacor® needles are less than 0.5mm in length, long enough to create lasting results but short enough to avoid scarring. Additionally, there is absolutely no heat involved in this skin-tightening procedure, meaning there isn’t a risk of unintended thermal injury. A 10mm square area can be treated in less than three seconds, so the entire process is usually completed within 30 minutes.

The Benefits for a More Youthful Appearance

With all the advantages of traditional skin tightening methods, but none of the drawbacks or risks, ellacor® offers a variety of benefits to qualifying patients, including:

No incisions or scarring
Removes excess, sagging skin
Diminishes the appearance of wrinkles and helps smooth wrinkles for a more youthful look
Reduces the appearance of jowls
Provides natural-looking results
No general anesthesia required

ellacor® can also effectively reduce the appearance of frown lines, which develop between the eyebrows.

Individuals who undergo an ellacor® procedure at Skin Wellness have experienced improved skin laxity within several weeks of treatment and felt comfortable returning to work after just three days. If you’re considering ellacor® for your wrinkle-related skin concerns, our dermatologists recommend two to three sessions for optimal results.

It is important to consider skin tone when determining the suitability of treatments, as certain procedures may be more effective for fair-skinned individuals.
