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.

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.

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.

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.

Featured in “Ozempic Body: Solutions for Sagging Skin” written by @ingridanneschmidt for @hollywoodreporter Reporter
The article explores how rapid weight loss from GLP‑1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro can lead to accelerated facial aging — including sagging skin, hollow cheeks, and a more gaunt appearance. When weight drops quickly, fat volume in the face diminishes, skin loses elasticity, and collagen and elastin production slow down, leaving patients looking older than before.
One of the newer solutions highlighted is Ellacor fractional micro‑coring technology. This minimally invasive procedure uses hollow needles to remove thousands of micro‑cores of skin in a precise, grid‑like pattern while delivering controlled heat. As the skin heals, it tightens and contracts naturally — improving skin laxity, fine lines, and crepiness without the downtime or scarring associated with surgery. For many experiencing “Ozempic Face,” Ellacor can be combined with other treatments like fillers or collagen stimulators to both restore lost volume and firm loose skin.
“I see it every day in my office. A 50‑year‑old patient will come in, suddenly super‑skinny and needing filler for the first time. I ask, ‘How long have you been on Ozempic?’ and I’m right 100 % of the time.” – Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank
By understanding how medications affect skin and facial structure — and knowing that treatments like Ellacor exist — patients can take a proactive approach to maintaining a healthy, natural, and youthful look after weight loss.

Ellacor FAQs
Yes! Ellacor's revolutionary technology has led to it being the first and only FDA-approved procedure for the non-surgical removal of excess skin.
Fees for the Ellacor treatment depend on the individual and will be discussed at your consultation.
During your consultation, your provider will discuss the complete list of guidelines you will need to follow to help you prepare for your Ellacor treatment.
The recovery process for Ellacor will vary based on each patient, but typically ranges from a few days to weeks. Immediately following your Ellacor treatment you may experience swelling, bruising and redness. 70% of participants in a clinical study for Ellacor said they were comfortable returning to work in 3 days.
Up to 8% of skin can be safely removed during each Ellacor treatment. For greater results, completing one treat a month for several months can lead to the removal of 8-40% of skin safely and without scarring.
Microneedling involves the use of fine needles that create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. However, it is important to note that the skin itself is not removed during this process; rather, the tissue is gently disturbed and temporarily displaced. This disruption stimulates the skin’s natural healing mechanisms, leading to increased collagen and elastin production, resulting in improved skin texture and appearance. Ellacor introduces a groundbreaking advancement in the realm of aesthetic procedures. Unlike traditional microneedling, Ellacor stands out as the pioneer in microscale skin removal. Through a carefully engineered combination of microneedling and radiofrequency energy, Ellacor is designed to gently and precisely remove minuscule amounts of skin.
The duration of Ellacor results will vary based on individual factors. Effective maintenance through a skincare routine, sun protection, and periodic follow-up treatments can help optimize and extend the benefits results lasting several months to a year or more.
Ellacor and Morpheus are both advanced cosmetic procedures that, while they may appear similar, are NOT the same in terms of method, technology, and intended outcomes. Microneedling devices (Morpheus) do not extract tissue cores (Ellacor). Only true skin removal using micro-coring devices such as Ellacor will address laxity and lift tissue.
