Cincinnati Ellacor Micro Coring Treatments

You will be swollen for 1-3 days and may see small stamps from the microcoring for 1-3 weeks. You may be able to apply make-up 4 days after your treatment depending on your healing.

Treatment time depends on the areas we are treating. Plan on being in the office for 1-2 hours including time for pictures, numbing and aftercare.

If you have wrinkles, loose skin, sagging or acne scarring and want a safe and effective alternative to surgery without the downtime, Ellacor is a great option. The best way to determine if you are a candidate for Ellacor is to schedule a consultation with one of our skilled providers.

Your provider will use a combination of topical and injected numbing to ensure you are as comfortable as possible. During clinical trials, most patients rated their Ellacor treatment as a 2 on a scale of 1-10.

Some may wonder if this is the same as microneedling treatments, however, while microneedling uses small needles to create injury in the skin, micro-coring uses hollow needles to actually “core” out a percentage of skin. This concept is similar to fractional resurfacing lasers where a “fraction” of the skin is treated so that the untreated skin helps to heal the treated area faster. This is an innovative and unprecedented alternative to surgery.

You should see results within a few weeks after your treatment and will continue to see improvement within 3-6 months as collagen stimulation continues to tightens the skin.
