Ellacor is a non-surgical skin tightening treatment that targets moderate to severe wrinkles and sagging skin, especially in the mid to lower face. Using specially designed hollow needles, the device removes micro-cores of skin, prompting the body's natural healing response to close the gaps and tighten the surrounding skin.
This process helps reduce excess skin and improve skin laxity without the need for incisions or thermal energy. It's an excellent choice for skin rejuvenation, helping those seeking visible, natural-looking results without the excessive pain and extended recovery that can be associated with facelift surgery.
