About ellacor®

Facial aging can manifest through various signs and changes over time. The skin loses elasticity and firmness, resulting in wrinkles and sagging, which can be especially noticeable around the mid and lower face. Collagen is a key protein in the skin that provides structural support and elasticity. When collagen levels deplete in the skin due to aging or other factors, several changes occur, including the formation of new wrinkles and lines.

How Does ellacor® Work?

Similar to microneedling, ellacor® enhances the texture of the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production, leading to a smoother, more youthful appearance. It does so by creating very small precise cores, or extractions, of epidermal and dermal tissue. These tiny micro-columns of skin are less than .5 mm in diameter. Once the tiny needles penetrate the treatment area, the body activates a non-scarring healing response. Over time, the skin works to heal the micro-cores, producing more collagen and elastin.

Clinical trials have shown that micro-coring is safe and effective for the treatment of moderate to severe wrinkles. (1) Ellacor® bridges the gap between non-surgical and surgical treatments, providing patients with noticeable results after just one session.

ellacor® for Acne Scars

Micro-coring has shown significant effectiveness in reducing the appearance of various scar types, including hypertrophic scars and atrophic depressions commonly caused by acne. Ellacor® targets the damaged tissue caused by acne scarring, stimulating the body’s natural healing response to reduce the appearance of scars. The controlled micro-injuries created during micro-coring activate the body’s wound-healing process, leading to the remodeling of scar tissue and smoother skin. (2)

Benefits of ellacor®

Ellacor® has gained significant popularity due to its ability to improve skin quality and provide a refreshed rejuvenated appearance. Its benefits include the following.

  • Non-surgical, Minimally Invasive: The advanced non-surgical techniques of ellacor® mean that patients can achieve dramatic results and smoother, rejuvenated skin with little downtime.
  • Reduced Wrinkles and Fine Lines: By promoting collagen synthesis, this procedure helps minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, resulting in a more youthful look.
  • Advanced Scar Treatment: Micro-coring offers a non-surgical alternative to traditional scar revision techniques, avoiding incisions and the associated risks.
  • Enhanced Skin Elasticity: Ellacor® micro-coring stimulates the production of elastin, improving skin elasticity and firmness.
  • Precision Technique: Ellacor® micro-coring utilizes advanced technology to precisely target specific skin concerns, ensuring optimal results with minimal risk of damage to surrounding tissues.
  • Long-lasting Results: With proper aftercare and adherence to post-procedure instructions, the results of ellacor® micro-coring can provide patients with lasting improvements in their skin.

Candidates for ellacor®

If you are not quite ready for a facial cosmetic surgery procedure like a facelift, ellacor® may be just what you need to revitalize your skin. The treatment is indicated for patients with mild to moderate wrinkles in the mid and lower face. It is designed to be an effective treatment for adults over the age of 22 with Fitzpatrick I-IV skin types.

With its versatility and ability to address multiple concerns, it is no wonder so many individuals turn to ellacor® for skin rejuvenation. To find out if you are a suitable candidate and how this procedure can benefit you personally, we recommend scheduling a personal consultation with Dr. Ahmed. Do not hesitate to reach out to Las Vegas Body Sculpting at (702) 899-8100 to take the first step toward your aesthetic goals.

Personal Consultation

At Las Vegas Body Sculpting, we believe in personalized care and tailoring treatments to each individual’s unique needs. During your personal consultation with Dr. Ahmed, he will evaluate your skin concerns, medical history, and aesthetic goals to create a customized treatment plan just for you.

Dr. Ahmed will examine the targeted areas of your skin, discussing the various aspects of the procedure specific to your concerns. He will assess your skin type, texture, and condition to establish the most appropriate approach to achieving the results you desire. Whether you are interested in treating wrinkles, scars, or uneven pigmentation, Dr. Ahmed’s expertise will guide you toward the best course of action.

Preparation

Two Weeks Before Your Procedure

  • Discontinue the use of blood-thinning medications and dietary supplements (e.g. ibuprofen, aspirin, vitamin E).
  • Do not use tanning beds or expose your skin to the sun.
  • Avoid any invasive or minimally invasive skin treatments.

The Day Before Your Procedure

  • Shave any facial hair in the treatment area.

The Day of Your Procedure

  • Do not apply any creams, moisturizers, or other topical agents to your face.
  • Come to your appointment wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothes.

Procedure

An ellacor® procedure takes one hour or less to complete. Before the treatment session begins, Dr. Ahmed will ensure you are comfortable and provide any necessary anesthesia to numb the treatment area. He will then make precise passes with the device’s handpiece across the area of treatment. The tiny hollow needles penetrate the skin at targeted, controlled depths, treating a 10-mm square of skin in under 3 seconds. These controlled injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response and stimulate collagen production over time.

Dr. Ahmed’s experience allows him to perform the procedure precisely and effectively, ensuring optimal results tailored to each patient’s requirements.

Recovery

Dr. Ahmed will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions specific to your needs. It is crucial to follow these instructions to facilitate proper healing and optimize your results. General recommendations for a smooth recovery may include:

  • Avoiding direct sun exposure for a few days following the procedure.
  • Using sunscreen with a high SPF regularly.
  • Refraining from using makeup or skincare products that contain harsh chemicals for a specified period.
  • Avoiding scrubbing or scratching the treated areas.
  • Staying clear of submerging the treatment area in water (e.g. hot tubs, pools).
  • Maintaining proper hydration by drinking plenty of water and following a healthy diet.
  • Avoiding strenuous activities and exercises that may irritate the treated area.

Following your ellacor® procedure, you may experience some redness, swelling, and minor discomfort. These side effects are temporary and typically subside within a week.

Results

The results of ellacor® micro-coring become visible gradually as collagen production increases and the skin rejuvenates over time. Your skin will appear refreshed, with reduced signs of fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, and pigmentation issues. The benefits of increased collagen production will continue to enhance the quality and texture of your skin.

The longevity of your results will depend on several factors, including lifestyle, sun exposure, skincare routine, and genetics. Maintaining a diligent skincare regimen and avoiding excessive sun exposure can help prolong the effects of your skin micro-coring treatment.

Corresponding Procedures

RF Microneedling

RF microneedling is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. As the tiny needles penetrate the skin, they deliver controlled RF heat deep into the dermis. This dual action stimulates collagen production, tightens skin, and reduces wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. RF microneedling is effective for improving skin texture and elasticity with minimal downtime. It is a popular choice for those seeking non-surgical facial rejuvenation and lasting skin improvement.

CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing

CO2 laser resurfacing is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that utilizes a CO2 laser to address a range of cosmetic concerns such as facial wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, age spots, uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, melasma, surgical scars, stretch marks, and even skin tightening. This comprehensive procedure is highly sought after by individuals looking to achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
