Ellacor
What is Ellacor?
Ellacor represents a significant advancement in dermatological treatments through its sophisticated micro-needling system. This system utilizes state-of-the-art, precisely engineered hollow needles, each meticulously designed to have an internal diameter of less than 0.5mm. The small diameter is crucial as it falls below the threshold at which scarring is likely to occur, thereby enhancing the safety profile of the procedure and minimizing any potential for visible scarring.
What Makes Ellacor Different?
The engineering behind these needles ensures that they are capable of removing precise micro-cores of skin with minimal invasion, making the process notably less traumatic for the skin compared to traditional resurfacing methods. This level of precision not only aids in the effective reduction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles but also improves the overall texture and firmness of the skin by stimulating the natural healing process.
Non-Thermal Procedure
Ellacor’s non-thermal approach is a significant benefit, distinguishing it from many other skin revitalization techniques that rely on heat. By avoiding the use of lasers, radio frequency, or ultrasound energy, Ellacor eliminates the risk of thermal injury, such as burns or changes in pigmentation, which can be of particular concern for those with darker skin tones or sensitive skin.
This non-thermal feature is especially beneficial as it allows for a more controlled and focused treatment that targets only the intended areas without affecting the surrounding skin. The absence of heat not only ensures a safer procedure but also contributes to the overall comfort of the patient during the treatment. This method reduces the likelihood of post-procedure complications, promoting a smoother recovery and leading to more consistent outcomes across diverse skin types.

Benefits of Ellacor
Efficient
One of the standout benefits of the Ellacor system is its remarkable efficiency. The technology is designed to treat a 10mm square area in less than three seconds, enabling an entire facial treatment to be completed typically in under 30 minutes, thereby also reducing the discomfort associated with longer treatment sessions.
Minimal Downtime
The quick nature of the procedure not only minimizes the time spent in treatment but also reduces the overall impact on a patient's daily schedule. Patients can potentially undergo a session during a lunch break and return to their normal activities, which is a significant advantage for those who cannot afford extended recovery times often associated with more invasive treatments.
Ellacor (FAQs)
How is Ellacor different from other skin rejuvenation devices?
Unlike many skin revitalization technologies that use laser, radio frequency, or ultrasound energy to create controlled thermal injuries, Ellacor directly removes small portions of excess skin. This mechanical method avoids the potential side effects associated with thermal energy.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of procedures varies based on individual skin conditions and goals. Typically, patients may undergo a series of three procedures, each spaced about 30 days apart, as suggested by clinical trials. It’s essential to consult with our experienced dermatologists to tailor a treatment plan that suits your needs.
How long is a typical procedure?
A typical Ellacor procedure can be completed in about 30 minutes or less, making it a convenient option even for those individuals with tight schedules.
Is the procedure painful?
Ellacor is designed to minimize discomfort. Anesthesia is applied before the procedure, and most patients report minimal pain, often rating it less than 2 on a 0-10 scale during clinical trials.
Is the recovery time long?
“Downtime” can vary but generally range from a few days to weeks, depending on the patient and treatment specifics. As each individual’s healing process differs, discussing expected recovery timelines with your Ellacor provider is advisable.
How is Ellacor different from microneedling?
While microneedling involves using fine needles to create tiny punctures (without removing skin), Ellacor actually removes small cores of skin, which can lead to more significant improvements in skin structure and appearance.
Can Ellacor treat darker skin tones?
Ellacor treatments for darker skin types (V and VI) require specific protocols, which are currently under clinical study. It’s crucial to consult with our dermatology team, which can advise you based on the latest research and guidelines.
