Ellacor

Ellacor is designed with your comfort in mind! While you might feel a little warmth or a slight tingling during the treatment, it’s nothing too uncomfortable. Dr. Ahmed and the team ensure you feel relaxed by using numbing agents to keep things smooth. After the treatment, you may experience a bit of redness or swelling, but don’t worry—it’s all temporary and totally normal.

For most people, a series of Ellacore treatments are typically spaced a few weeks apart. Dr. Ahmed will work with you to customize a plan that fits your skin’s unique needs so you can achieve that refreshed, glowing look. Depending on your goals, you might need three to five treatments.

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.

Of course! Here are some procedures our clients have combined with Ellacor:

• 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 popular 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.

Some individuals may experience temporary redness, swelling, or mild discomfort after treatment, which usually fades within a few hours or days. More serious risks, such as scarring or changes in skin pigmentation, are extremely uncommon but can happen in certain cases. Dr. Ahmed’s focus on personalized care ensures that your treatment plan is tailored to minimize risks.

A facelift can be combined with other surgical procedures to enhance overall results. Neck lift surgery is often the most commonly combined procedure, as it eliminates loose neck skin to create a fully comprehensive rejuvenation. Blepharoplasty (eyelid lift surgery) can complement a facelift by addressing drooping eyelids and hollowness around the eyes, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Similarly, brow lift surgery can smooth deep forehead wrinkles and reposition sagging brows, harmonizing the upper face with the tightened contours achieved through a facelift.

No matter what your aesthetic goals are, Dr. Ahmed can examine any areas of concern and help determine the best cosmetic plan for you.

The risks of a facelift include swelling, bruising, infection, bleeding (hematoma), nerve injury, scarring, prolonged numbness, asymmetry, and poor wound healing. Other rare possibilities include skin necrosis, tissue death, hairline distortion, persistent pain, fluid accumulation seroma, prolonged tightness, and dissatisfaction with results.

While complications are rare with a skilled surgeon like Dr. Ahmed, factors like smoking, medical conditions, and improper aftercare can increase risks.
