ellacor
Utilizing specialized hollow needles to extract micro-cores of skin, ellacor is a revolutionary new technique that removes sagging skin and reduces the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles without surgery. Ongoing studies continue to identify new uses for this cutting-edge technology. Currently the device is FDA approved to treat the lower face and jowl area and we are proud to be one of the few practices offering this procedure in the Phoenix area.
What is ellacor with Micro-Coring Technology?
Ellacor with Micro-Coring Technology is the first and only device of its kind. It physically removes sagging skin and improves the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles. Ellacor provides natural-looking results without the pain, risk and cost associated with more invasive surgery or procedures.
How does ellacor work?
Ellacor uses hollow needles, less than 0.5 mm in diameter, to remove micro-cores of skin, resulting in an improved appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles and sagging skin without scarring.

Who is an ideal candidatefor ellacor?
Ellacor is ideal for patients looking for a non-surgical solution for mid-to-lower face wrinkles and excess skin. Ellacor is approved for Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV, which means it may not be a good option for patients with darker skin tones. Ellacor should not be performed on people who have medical conditions that inhibit proper wound healing and women who are pregnant.
what to expect from an ellacor procedure
On the day of your procedure, you will receive a combination of topical and injectable local anesthetic to the treatment area to help you stay comfortable during the procedure. Once your skin is numb, the ellacor device is used to remove micro-cores of excess skin in a precise grid pattern. The micro-cores are so tiny that they will begin to heal almost immediately with most patients experiencing about a week of social downtime.
