A wrinkle is a fold or crease in the skin. Skin wrinkles typically result from age, genetic predisposition and most importantly sun damage. Smoking, dry skin, excessive motion, poor hydration, and several other factors may contribute. Although there are numerous topical options on the market, few have any significant efficacy compared to procedural means. Contrary to popular belief, a facelift does not treat wrinkles, only loose skin. There are several dermatologic treatments using injectables and laser treatments to dramatically improve their appearance.

Treatments for Wrinkles and Fine Lines at PFRANKMD
The Miria represents the future of non-ablative laser skin tightening for scars, fine lines, and wrinkles. It introduces a new approach to non-ablative fractional resurfacing.
Fillers such as Silicone, Radiesse, Juvéderm, Restylane, Sculptra, and Perlane are used to lift an indentation that wrinkles cause. Fillers can also be used to lift the skin for a facelift type effect. Done non-invasively this is called a filler facelift or FLT procedure.
Botox and Dysport are FDA-approved muscle relaxers that address wrinkles associated with motion.
For a few decades now, lasers have been used to resurface wrinkles on the face and body. Currently, the state of the art technology is Fractional Skin Resurfacing.
Ellacor is the first device of its kind to non-surgically remove wrinkles while lifting and tightening skin. By utilizing rapidly automated fine needle extractions of skin throughout the area of treatment, the device removes eight percent of skin per session under local anesthesia.
The EMFACE Under Eye applicators are a revolutionary treatment that leverages high-intensity muscle stimulation and radiofrequency energy to tighten, lift, and smooth the under-eye region.

Ellacor uses fractional microcoring technology, a first-of-its-kind, minimally invasive treatment that physically removes tiny micro-cores of skin to improve texture, firmness, and tightness. By precisely extracting thousands of microscopic skin columns, the surrounding tissue contracts and heals naturally, creating a smoother, tighter appearance without surgery or visible scarring.
Unlike traditional energy-based microneedling, Ellacor does not use heat, radiofrequency, or laser energy to stimulate collagen. Instead, it achieves actual skin removal and tightening through mechanical precision, reducing laxity and fine lines more effectively and with less downtime.
This scarless skin removal technology can be used on multiple body areas, including the face, neck, and décolletage, offering patients a powerful alternative to more invasive procedures as the demand for natural-looking, nonsurgical rejuvenation continues to grow.

Annual skin cancer screenings are essential, even for those without a family history. During a comprehensive screening, your dermatologist carefully examines your entire body for any suspicious moles or lesions. Detecting skin cancers early allows for simpler, more effective treatment and better long-term outcomes.
We also discuss how UV damage and sun exposure not only contribute to premature aging but are leading causes of non-melanoma skin cancers. Before proceeding with any laser or resurfacing treatment such as Fraxel, which effectively targets and removes sun damage, it is critical to ensure skin health and safety.
At PFRANKMD, we take every precaution. Before using a Fraxel laser, we thoroughly evaluate the skin to identify and biopsy any changing or suspicious lesions. This ensures both safe treatment and optimal aesthetic results, protecting your health while restoring your skin’s natural radiance.

We are with our patient here one day after her Ellacor micro-coring treatment for facial rejuvenation. She experienced no pain during or after the procedure, with only mild swelling visible in the treated areas. Already, most of the tiny treatment sites have closed, leaving behind subtle pinpoint marks as her skin continues to heal.
With the latest Ellacor device, recovery is faster and more comfortable than ever. Patients can return to their normal routines right away, while avoiding sun exposure for two weeks to protect the skin and prevent pigmentation changes.
Results build gradually over the next 1–6 weeks as collagen remodeling takes place—making Ellacor an ideal pre-event treatment (this patient is preparing for a wedding in January).
Ellacor is the perfect gap procedure for those looking for skin tightening and rejuvenation, without surgery or scars.

Nurse Jennifer Schroder discusses her all-time favorite skin treatment, Fraxel. She loves the Fraxel Dual Laser, especially the 1927 wavelength, because it’s a predictable and versatile laser.
One of the most exciting benefits is its 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫. Clinical studies show that Fraxel Dual treatments can significantly 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐨𝐧-𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐚 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐬, such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. By targeting and removing precancerous sun-damaged cells (actinic keratoses), Fraxel helps create healthier, more resilient skin that is less likely to turn cancerous in the future.
Fraxel is also incredibly effective for 𝐬𝐮𝐧 𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫. Years of UV exposure can lead to brown spots, irregular pigmentation, rough texture, and fine lines. The Fraxel 1927 wavelength penetrates precisely into the upper layers of skin, where sun damage accumulates most. This stimulates new collagen and cellular turnover, 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐬𝐦𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐨𝐧.

Ellacor stands apart in the landscape of skin-tightening treatments with its innovative method of fractional micro-coring. Unlike microneedling, which creates micro-punctures to trigger healing, Ellacor actually removes tiny columns of skin, directly addressing areas of laxity. This makes it an appealing choice for patients who want to avoid—or delay—surgical procedures.
It’s also an excellent option for those who have previously had surgery but are left with residual sagging or excess skin. Ellacor can refine and enhance those results without requiring further invasive intervention.
This versatile treatment can be applied to multiple areas of both the face and body, allowing for tailored skin tightening solutions that address specific patient concerns. As a result, Ellacor serves as a compelling alternative to traditional surgical methods, providing a way to achieve firmer, smoother skin with minimal downtime and discomfort.
