ELLACOR
What is Ellacor?
The Ellacor™ System with Micro-Coring™ Technology is a first-of-its-kind wrinkle and skin laxity treatment device that provides natural-looking results with minimal downtime. Ellacor has been approved by the FDA for use in the mid to lower face, including the cheeks, around the mouth, and under the chin. An Ellacor™ treatment typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes (not including pre-op).

How does Ellacor work?
The Ellacor™ System removes micro-cores of skin with hollow needles, resulting in an improved appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles in the mid to lower face without the evidence of scarring.

How many treatments are necessary and how often?
As every patient has different needs, Dr. Frank will assess your skin and discuss your aesthetic concerns and goals in order to determine the number of Ellacor treatments required. Generally, 2-4 treatments are required. Treatments are four to six weeks apart.

What are the aftercare instructions for Ellacor?
Microneedling involves the use of fine needles that create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. However, it’s 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.

Is Ellacor the same as Morpheus8?
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.
When microneedling devices penetrate the skin, they deliver a small pulse of heat. Although beneficial for superficial skin tightening and texture, it will not give the same results as extracting tissue cores.
Morpheus utilizes fractional RF microneedling technology to deliver RF energy to deeper layers of the skin. This promotes collagen and elastin production and can address a range of skin concerns, including wrinkles, scars, and texture irregularities. Morpheus primarily focuses on skin improvement by stimulating collagen and elastin production to address specific skin issues like wrinkles, fine lines, and scars.
Given the nuanced differences between the two procedures, the choice between Ellacor and Morpheus depends on your specific concerns, preferences, and the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider. During your consultation, Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank will help you tailor the treatment plan that best suits your goals for skin enhancement and rejuvenation.
