Ellacor at a Glance
The First Treatment to Remove Skin on a Micro-Scale
Ellacor is built around Micro-Coring technology, a first-of-its-kind approach that uses tiny hollow needles to extract microscopic cores of skin rather than simply heating or wounding the surface. By removing a small percentage of tissue across a treatment area and allowing the surrounding skin to draw together as it heals, Ellacor can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and excess skin without lasers, heat, or surgery.
Ellacor Treats:
- Moderate to severe wrinkles
- Excess or sagging skin in the mid to lower face
- Jowling
- Loose skin beneath the jawline
- Lines around the mouth
- Lip lines and lip lift concerns
- Skin laxity following weight loss (select body areas)
- Acne scars and textural irregularities

Deep Dive Into Ellacor
How Does Ellacor Work?
Ellacor’s device uses hollow needles, each less than half a millimeter in diameter, to extract tiny cylindrical cores of skin in a precise grid pattern across the treatment area. Because each core is so small, the surrounding tissue can heal without visible scarring. As the treated area heals, the remaining skin is drawn closer together, reducing the overall skin surface and softening wrinkles, while the injury itself also stimulates new collagen and elastin.
When Will I See My Ellacor Results?
Many patients notice some change within a few weeks as the treated areas heal, with continued improvement over the following months as collagen remodels and the skin’s contraction effect fully develops.
What Is Recovery Like After Ellacor?
Expect redness, swelling, and possible minor bruising, particularly near injection sites, for the first several days. Most patients use an occlusive ointment to protect and hydrate the treated area and avoid makeup and sun exposure for about a week while it heals.
FAQs
Will I Need More Than One Ellacor Treatment?
Often, yes. Most treatment plans call for two to three sessions spaced roughly two to three months apart, allowing skin to heal fully between visits and building on the results of each prior treatment.
How Is Ellacor Different From RF Microneedling or Laser Resurfacing?
Unlike radiofrequency microneedling or ablative lasers, which rely on heat to trigger skin tightening, Ellacor removes actual tissue without a thermal component. That distinction matters for patients who want a heat-free option or whose skin type makes them more cautious about thermal injury.
How Will I Know if Ellacor Is the Right Choice for Me?
Dr. Mary Beth Mudd will assess your degree of laxity, wrinkle severity, and skin healing history, then discuss whether Ellacor, a combination approach, or another treatment at New You Center is best suited to your goals.
