What to Expect
Ellacor uses hollow needles to physically remove micro-cores of skin — tightening wrinkles without lasers, heat, or scalpels. Your body's natural healing closes the micro-cores for smoother, tighter skin.
Ideal Candidates
Adults 22+ with moderate to severe wrinkles in the mid and lower face who aren't ready for a facelift.
The Consultation
Dr. McGovern will evaluate your wrinkles and skin quality to determine if Ellacor's unique micro-coring technology is the best approach.
The Procedure
Hollow needles remove tiny cores of excess skin (about the width of a hair). No thermal energy, no laser. Takes 30-60 minutes with numbing.
Recovery
3-5 days of mild redness and micro-crusting. Results visible within weeks and continue improving for months.
Artistry Meets Precision
Dr. McGovern offers Ellacor as a unique option for patients who want wrinkle reduction without the thermal energy of lasers or the commitment of surgery.
By physically removing excess skin at the microscale, Ellacor achieves what no other non-surgical treatment can — actual skin tightening.
Cost & Financing
Ellacor at RenewalMD typically ranges from $4,000 to $5,000, depending on the treatment area and extent.
Estimates are for illustration only. Actual costs are determined after your consultation and financing terms established by the financing companies are subject to change. Subject to credit approval.
