What is Ellacor Micro-Coring?

Ellacor Micro-Coring stands as a pinnacle of non-invasive skin rejuvenation. By delicately extracting minuscule cores of skin using advanced hollow needles, this procedure stimulates a natural tightening and lifting response in the treated areas. Ellacor Micro-Coring offers an unparalleled ability to tighten loose or sagging skin, diminish wrinkles, and restore youthful contours without the need for surgery or scarring.1 This procedure achieves results comparable to a facelift, all while leaving behind no visible scarring and requiring minimal downtime.

Benefits of Ellacor Micro-Coring

Ellacor Micro-Coring offers a multitude of benefits, including:

  • Enhanced Results: By stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, Ellacor Micro-Coring promotes natural skin regeneration, leading to smoother, firmer, and more lifted and youthful-looking skin.
  • Reduced Downtime: Unlike traditional treatments, Ellacor Micro-Coring requires minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities within one week.
  • Customizable Treatment: Our practitioners tailor each Ellacor Micro-Coring session to address your specific skin concerns, ensuring optimal results.
  • Versatility: Ellacor Micro-Coring can be performed on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, décolleté, and hands, making it a versatile solution for comprehensive skin rejuvenation.

How to Prepare For Ellacor Micro-Coring

Prepare for your Ellacor Micro-Coring session by scheduling a consultation with our team at Bucky Plastic Surgery to discuss your goals and medical history. Follow any pre-treatment skincare recommendations provided, avoid sun exposure, stay hydrated, and plan for about one week of “social downtime” post-treatment. Communicate any questions or concerns with your provider to ensure a smooth and successful experience.

What to Expect During Your Ellacor Micro-Coring Treatment

During an Ellacor treatment at Bucky Plastic Surgery, after approximately 30 minutes of topical numbing, lidocaine injections are administered for maximum comfort. The Ellacor device then delicately extracts up to 8% of skin in the treated area in the form of minuscule cores of skin using hollow needles, stimulating a tightening and lifting response.2 The procedure typically lasts about an hour, with the device stamping the hollow needles across the targeted area. Finally, exosomes are applied, followed by a cooling mask to complete the session, leaving you on your way to rejuvenated, youthful skin.

Ellacor Micro-Coring Recovery & Results

Following your Ellacor session, expect some temporary redness and swelling, which typically subside within a few days. Visible improvements manifest within three weeks post-treatment, with continued enhancement over the following months. To optimize results, adhere to post-treatment care guidelines, avoiding activities that may introduce heat or bacteria for 72 hours while moisturizing the treated area.

FAQs About Ellacor Micro-Coring

Ellacor Micro-Coring targets various areas prone to aging signs, including the lower face, neck, knees, chest, and abdomen.

Ellacor is suitable for adults aged 22 and above with skin types I through IV on the Fitzpatrick scale, seeking improvement in facial aging signs, especially skin laxity.

Typically lasting around one hour, the procedure involves approximately 30 minutes of topical numbing followed by the administration of lidocaine injections. The Ellacor treatment is then conducted on the targeted area for about 30 minutes before applying exosomes and a cooling mask to complete the session.

For optimal results, most patients undergo a series of three procedures, spaced approximately 30 days apart, with annual maintenance sessions to sustain desired outcomes.

Your Ellacor treatment will be conducted within one of Bucky Body Center’s premier aesthetic treatment rooms.

Topical anesthetic is administered before the Ellacor session to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

Side effects may include pulling/tightness of the skin, swelling, redness, bruising, dryness, burning, roughness, crusting, skin peeling, tenderness, numbness, tingling, bleeding, or circular marks on the skin. Rare risks include hyper/hypopigmentation, itching, infection, hematoma, skin irregularities, and uneven appearance of treated regions.
