Ellacor® Micro-Coring®: A New Approach to Skin Tightening
As we get older, our skin naturally loses its elasticity, which leads to fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the cheeks, jawline, mouth, and neck. Some patients opt for traditional facelift surgery, which remains an effective option. However, many individuals are looking for less invasive treatments with minimal downtime and natural-looking results.
The ellacor® micro-coring® procedure is an innovation that addresses skin tightening and rejuvenation without surgery.
What Is Ellacor?
Ellacor is an FDA-cleared procedure that physically removes tiny portions of excess skin, which heals naturally. This results in smoother, firmer skin. It does not use heat or thermal energy, unlike some laser and radiofrequency devices.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Ellacor can be an excellent option for patients who:
Have unwanted skin laxity
Are not ready for facelift surgery
Want skin tightening without surgery
Seek minimal downtime after the procedure
All interested patients should contact the SSDP office for a consultation with one of our board-certified dermatologists to make sure this procedure is right for them.
When Will I See Results?
Most patients notice improvement within several weeks. As the micro-cores heal, the skin tightens. Results can continue to improve over multiple subsequent months as the collagen remodels as well.

Every patient is unique, and so are their cosmetic goals. At South Shore Dermatology Physicians, we are committed to offering the latest evidence-based cosmetic treatments, tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
