ellacor® is a revolutionary device from medical technology company Cytrellis. This minimally invasive ellacor® procedure uses Micro-Coring® technology to diminish wrinkles and age-related skin laxity in the mid to lower face. Clinical studies of ellacor® report a 91% improvement of moderate to severe wrinkles and a very high rate of patient satisfaction. ellacor® can also address loose skin and may require multiple sessions for significant tightening.
ellacor® is one of the first devices to use a fractional tissue extraction process called Micro-Coring® to rejuvenate skin. Advanced signs of facial aging, such as deep wrinkles and sagging skin, can be difficult to treat effectively without surgery, but ellacor® can tighten skin without surgery and without any scarring. The ellacor® device allows for micro-excisional removal of micro cores of skin with very fine hollow needles. The needles are small and precise enough to reach the full thickness of the skin without leaving any scarring.
Benefits of ellacor® for Moderate to Severe Wrinkles:
- No incisions or scarring
- Removes excess, sagging skin
- Diminishes the appearance of wrinkles
- Can reduce the appearance of “marionette lines” and jowls
- Provides significant skin tightening results
- Improves overall skin texture
- Results are visible while also natural-looking
- In-office treatment with no general anesthesia needed
A local anesthetic will be administered to the area to be treated to help you stay comfortable during your ellacor® treatments. Once your skin is numb, your provider will strategically place the ellacor® device to your skin to create micro-cores in a precise grid pattern. Excess skin will be removed through the hollow needles, but the micro-cores are so tiny that they will begin to heal almost immediately.
Recovery after ellacor® treatment typically takes from a few days up to a week of downtime. Common side effects include redness and swelling, but these should subside within a few days. You will be advised to keep the treated area covered with ointment for 1 to 2 days and avoid makeup and harsh skin products for one week. Maintaining good skin quality through proper skincare can enhance your recovery and results. Avoiding sun exposure and using sunscreen can help protect your skin during the recovery period.
Your individual results will depend on several factors, but most patients experience an improvement in skin laxity within several weeks of treatment. ellacor® is suitable for Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV, making it an option for a wide range of skin tones. Two to three sessions are usually recommended with optimal results visible a few months after your final treatment. Results are long-lasting and you can improve the longevity of your results with a good skincare routine that includes sun protection. Compared to other skin rejuvenation devices, ellacor® offers a unique approach by directly removing skin for more dramatic results.
ellacor® is FDA-approved for use in the mid to low face, including the cheeks, around the mouth, and under the chin.
