Ellacor Micro-Coring
Ellacor works with hollow needles, lifting away micro-cores of skin to tighten moderate to severe wrinkles across the mid and lower face — no thermal energy, no lasers, no scarring. Your body does the rest, closing each micro-core as it heals, leaving skin smoother and tighter.
What Patients Say
Is Ellacor Micro-Coring Right for You?
Answer a few quick questions to see if ellacor micro-coring could be a good fit for you — or take the full Renewal Assessment for a comprehensive treatment plan.
What to Expect
Ellacor works by a kind of subtraction. Hollow needles remove micro-cores of skin — no lasers, no heat, no scalpel — and as your body heals, those tiny spaces close, drawing the surrounding skin smoother and tighter.
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 look closely at your wrinkles and skin quality before deciding whether Ellacor's micro-coring technology is the right approach for you.
The Procedure
Hollow needles remove tiny cores of excess skin, each about the width of a hair. There is no thermal energy, no laser involved. With numbing, the treatment takes 30 to 60 minutes.
Recovery
Expect 3-5 days of mild redness and micro-crusting. Results become visible within weeks and continue improving for months.
Artistry Meets Precision
Dr. McGovern offers Ellacor as a distinct option for patients who want their wrinkles reduced without the thermal energy of lasers or the commitment surgery asks of you.
By physically removing excess skin at the microscale, Ellacor accomplishes something no other non-surgical treatment does: it tightens skin, in fact rather than impression alone.
Cost & Financing
Ellacor at RenewalMD typically ranges from $4,000 to $5,000, depending on the treatment area and extent.
These estimates are for illustration only. Actual costs are determined after your consultation, and financing terms set by the financing companies are subject to change. Subject to credit approval.
