Ellacor
PFRANKMD by Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank is proud to introduce Ellacor, the most cutting-edge technology available for minimally invasive skin tightening and wrinkle reduction. Ellacor belongs to a category of aesthetic devices that use fractional micro-coring® technology to remove extra skin related to aging without invasive surgery.
What is Ellacor?
The Ellacor System uses Micro-Coring technology to remove tiny cores of skin. FDA clearance covers adults 22 and older with Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV for moderate-to-severe wrinkles of the middle and lower face. Your provider will assess whether treatment is appropriate for you.
The Introduction of Ellacor by Cytrellis: Micro-Coring for Skin Tightening & Wrinkle Reduction
Ellacor uses hollow needles to remove tiny cores of skin. This mechanical approach does not use heat or radiofrequency energy.
How Does Ellacor Work?
The Ellacor System removes micro-cores of skin with hollow needles to improve the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles in the mid to lower face. The treatment is mechanical and does not use radiofrequency or thermal energy.
Ellacor Micro-Coring Treatment
Treatment planning begins with an assessment of your skin, medical history and goals. Your provider will explain the procedure, recovery and potential risks at your consultation.
Ideal Candidates
Candidacy depends on your skin, medical history and goals. Your provider will assess whether Ellacor is suitable for you and review conditions or medications that could affect treatment or healing. The facial-wrinkle indication covers adults 22 and older with Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV. Ellacor should not be used during pregnancy or nursing.
Benefits of Ellacor
Ellacor offers a minimally invasive approach to facial wrinkle treatment.
- Removes tiny cores of skin with hollow needles
- Treats moderate to severe wrinkles in the mid to lower face
- Does not use radiofrequency or thermal energy
- In-office treatment performed under local anesthesia
Results and recovery vary. Your provider will discuss the benefits and risks for your individual treatment plan.
What to Expect During the Ellacor Procedure
A local anesthetic will be administered to the area to be treated to help you stay comfortable during treatment. Once your skin is numb, Dr. Frank will place the Ellacor device to your skin to create micro-cores in a precise grid pattern. Tiny cores of skin are removed through the hollow needles, and your provider will explain how to care for the treated area as it heals. An Ellacor treatment typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
Results and Recovery
Recovery varies by patient and treatment settings and may take days to weeks. Redness, swelling, bruising and discomfort can occur. Your provider will give you aftercare instructions and advise when to resume normal activities. Treatment number and spacing are individualized, and results vary.
