ELLACOR

a non-surgical skin treatment device that uses Micro-Coring technology to improve moderate-to-severe wrinkles and mild-to-moderate skin laxity, mainly on the mid-to-lower face.

How It Works

It uses an array of hollow needles to physically remove tiny columns (“micro-cores”) of full-thickness skin.
Up to about 8% of the skin in the treated area can be removed in one session.
Because the cores are extremely small, they heal without visible scarring.
No heat or thermal energy is used (unlike lasers or RF devices), so there’s no thermal injury.
The body naturally closes the openings and the remaining skin tightens/realigns.

What It Treats

Moderate to severe wrinkles in the mid and lower face
Mild to moderate skin laxity / sagging (jowls, jawline, lower cheeks)
Overall skin texture and architecture in those areas

It’s FDA-cleared for adults 22+ with Fitzpatrick skin types I–IV.

Typical Treatment Details

Procedure time: around 30 minutes
Anesthesia: local (you stay awake)
Downtime: usually a few days to about 1–2 weeks (redness, pinpoint marks that heal)
Sessions: often a series of 1–3 treatments
Results: improve over weeks to months as collagen remodels
