How It Works

How Does ellacor Work?

Ellacor uses hollow needles to remove micro-cores of skin, resulting in an improved appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles in the mid and lower face without the evidence of scarring.

1
Removes Skin on the Microscale

Ellacor uses hollow needles to remove micro-cores of skin from targeted areas.

2
No Heat-Based Treatment

Ellacor is different from laser or radiofrequency treatments because it physically removes tiny micro-cores of skin rather than relying on heat.

3
Natural-Looking Improvement

As the skin heals, the goal is a smoother, tighter, more natural-looking result.
