Peptide Therapy

Advancing Aesthetic and Longevity Healthcare with Peptide Therapy

At PFRANKMD, we believe in optimizing your health from the inside out. Peptide therapy is a key component of our comprehensive approach to aesthetic and longevity medicine, supporting patients in achieving enhanced vitality, improved skin health, balanced hormones, and accelerated healing. Under the medical direction of Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank, peptide protocols are customized to each patient’s goals—whether that’s improved sleep, cognitive clarity, athletic performance, or graceful aging.

What Are Peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that function as signaling molecules within the body, instructing cells to perform specific tasks. Naturally occurring peptides regulate critical biological processes including inflammation, tissue repair, metabolism, and hormone production. In peptide therapy, synthetic versions of these naturally occurring peptides are used to target and enhance those same physiological functions. At PFRANKMD, we only utilize pharmaceutical-grade peptides sourced from trusted, accredited compounding pharmacies to ensure safety, efficacy, and consistency.

Why Peptide Therapy?

As we age, the natural production of key peptides in the body declines, contributing to fatigue, weight gain, reduced muscle tone, poor sleep, joint pain, and visible signs of aging. Peptide therapy addresses this decline by:

  • Stimulating collagen production for firmer, more youthful skin

  • Enhancing fat metabolism and muscle development

  • Improving cognitive focus and memory

  • Supporting hormone balance and libido

  • Accelerating healing post-injury or procedure

  • Promoting deeper, more restorative sleep

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.

Stretch marks and skin laxity often develop as a result of pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or the natural aging process. At PFRANKMD, we combine the Vbeam laser and Miria laser to effectively address both concerns.

Miria uses advanced non-ablative laser technology to heat the deeper layers of the skin, improving elasticity and firmness by stimulating new collagen and elastin production.

Vbeam targets redness and discoloration in stretch marks by reducing vascular inflammation and stimulating collagen remodeling for a more even skin tone.


Together, these treatments work synergistically to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and restore smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin with minimal downtime.

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.

@dr.connieyang shares our patient’s second round of Miria laser for acne scars. This fractional technology resurfaces the skin to smooth texture and fade even deep scars by stimulating new collagen from within.

Treatments are typically performed in a series, spaced 6–8 weeks apart, allowing the skin to properly heal and strengthen between sessions. Many patients notice improvements in clarity and smoothness after just one treatment, with results that continue to build over time.

At PFRANKMD, our goal is to provide long-term solutions that restore confidence and bring out your healthiest skin.

Aesthetic Registered Nurse Natasha Cohen @natashapaige_msn performs and discusses an Ellacor treatment, a first-of-its-kind, FDA-cleared micro-coring device that removes tiny columns of skin to stimulate natural tightening and reduce laxity without surgery. Unlike lasers or radiofrequency that heat the skin, Ellacor physically removes tissue scarlessly—helping improve crepey texture and fine wrinkles.

The treatment is ideal for patients who want to hold off on a facelift or are seeking a minimally invasive option to address skin laxity. With numbing applied beforehand, patients remain comfortable during the procedure. Downtime is typically just a few days, and results build over a series of treatments as collagen remodeling occurs.
This patient has completed three Ellacor sessions and is thrilled with her refreshed, natural-looking results.

At PFRANKMD by Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank, we specialize in advanced, innovative treatments like Ellacor that bridge aesthetic medicine with whole-body health—helping patients look and feel their best, inside and out.

Stretch marks form when skin’s elastic fibers are stretched beyond their capacity to repair — often from pregnancy, growth spurts, weight changes, or hormonal shifts.

This patient began treatment while her stretch marks were still red — the optimal time since early-stage marks are easier to treat.

We started with Vbeam to reduce redness, then added Pico to break down pigment and stimulate collagen remodeling. Customized topicals between sessions further enhance results.

Her texture and pigmentation have improved dramatically. On average, it takes 6–10 treatments for significant fading, though the number of sessions depends on the depth, age, and type of the stretch marks.

Every patient is different, which is why we use tailored, advanced technologies to achieve the best outcome.

Nurse Jen provides an in-depth overview of the Ultherapy Prime device, an innovative advancement in non-surgical skin lifting. This updated technology enhances treatment with improved visualization of tissue layers and significantly reduced treatment times compared to earlier versions of Ultherapy.

The procedure uses micro-focused ultrasound energy to penetrate deep into the skin, stimulating the natural production of collagen and elastin—the proteins responsible for firmness and elasticity.

At PFRANKMD, Ultherapy is used on multiple areas where skin laxity is most common, including the lower face, neck, submentum (under the chin), décolletage, abdomen (for patients not candidates for a tummy tuck), and above the knees.

Nurse Jen particularly enjoys treating the abdominal area, where Ultherapy can be combined with Morpheus8 or microneedling for enhanced results. This synergistic approach not only improves tightness but also refines texture and overall skin quality.

With its versatility and efficiency, the Ultherapy Prime device represents a major advancement in non-invasive aesthetics—making it a go-to option for patients seeking natural lifting and tightening without surgery or downtime.

Unbelievable non‑surgical skin tightening results on the abdomen, achieved after two Ellacor treatments.

This advanced micro‑coring technology allows for targeted removal of redundant skin—including that stubborn “little extra skin above the belly button”—and triggers natural skin contraction and collagen regeneration, helping firm and tighten the abdominal area with minimal downtime. Unlike any energy‑based device, Ellacor actually excises microscopic columns of skin without incisions or scarring.

There truly is nothing else that can non‑surgically remove loose skin above the belly button the way Ellacor can.

Call (212) 327‑2919 to schedule your consultation and see if Ellacor is the right solution for your abdominal rejuvenation goals.

Tumescent microlipo is a highly refined, minimally invasive technique that uses very small, delicate instruments to gently and precisely remove fat. This meticulous approach allows for superior control, smoother contours, and minimal trauma to surrounding tissue—resulting in less bruising, reduced downtime, and a more comfortable, accelerated recovery.

At PFRANKMD, we often combine our tumescent microlipo procedure with advanced internal skin-tightening technologies such as FaceTite, BodyTite, and Morpheus8 surgical microneedling. These synergistic modalities not only sculpt the face and body but also stimulate collagen production and improve skin laxity from the inside out—providing natural-looking, long-lasting results without the need for traditional surgery.

I often say, “It’s not about looking different. It’s about looking like the best version of yourself.” By focusing on artistry, precision, and comprehensive aesthetic care, our microlipo technique is ideal for contouring small, targeted areas—even in patients with low body fat—while delivering holistic, pro-aging outcomes that align with our philosophy of aesthetic longevity and individualized care.
