Ellacor skin tightening
Reveal your inner youth with our new micro-coring technology!
What is Ellacor
In short, Ellacor is a non-surgical (or “micro-surgical”) skin tightening treatment. However, rather than relying on tightening existing skin through thermal energy, Ellacor’s innovative procedure actually removes tiny cores of excess skin. The removal of the extra tissue improves the appearance of wrinkles by allowing remaining skin to tighten around them. The inspiration for Ellacor came from the unexpected results seen in hair transplants. When hair follicle units were extracted, the skin in the area became much tighter. The micro-cored spaces from Ellacor immediately close with no scarring.
It is currently FDA cleared for the lower face, around the mouth (perioral) and jowls. However, many Dr’s are using it on scars, tattoo removal, and stretch marks – and in combination with other procedures for optimal results.
Dr. Janowski hasn’t been this excited for a new product / procedure in years, and we are only 1 of 3 providers in Colorado to have this amazing system!
How does Ellacor work?
The Ellacor system uses hollow needles to remove micro cores of excess skin, which kicks the bodies healing process into gear and realigns the skin to close the cores. This results in improved appearance of wrinkles with no scarring, and faster healing times than many energy based systems. Dermatologists have used something similar called a “punch biopsy” for decades, but Ellacor actually vacuums away the removed cores via the hollow needles. This is what differentiates it from microneedling, as it’s the first device of it’s kind to actually remove the skin on a micro-scale.
The internal diameter of the needles are less than .5mm, which is below the threshold for scarring. A 10mm square can be treated in less than 3 seconds, which means the entire procedure is typically finished in less than 30 minutes.
I recently had an Ellacor treatment by Dr. Janowski at Sonata, and it's been a month since. I'm thrilled with the results! Dr. Janowski's expertise and attention to detail made the experience exceptional. My skin looks refreshed, and fine lines have faded significantly. I've received compliments on my natural-looking results. I highly recommend Dr. Janowski for Ellacor treatments. He and his team at Sonata are the best!
