How Does the ellacor® System Work?
The ellacor® system uses hollow needles to precisely puncture tiny columns of the skin and gently removes them by suction. The internal diameter of each needle is less than 0.5 mm and doesn’t cause scarring. The ellacor® system precisely moves the needles across the treatment area, removing micro-cores of the skin as it moves. The skin’s collagen production is triggered to quickly heal the skin.
What Are The Benefits Of The ellacor® System?
The ellacor® system is a safe in-office minimally invasive treatment that is able to remove skin on the microscale without the use of thermal energy. This is an important benefit for patients as the healing time from ellacor® treatments is typically faster than other energy-based technologies.
The ellacor® system benefits include:
- Reduces the visible signs of aging
- Diminishes the appearance of wrinkles
- Reduces the appearance of marionette lines
- Tightens excess, sagging skin and jowls
- In-office treatment with no general anesthesia
- Treatment takes 30 minutes or less
- Provides natural-looking results without surgery and scarring

How Is The ellacor® System Different From Other Skin Revitalization Devices?
ellacor® is unlike other wrinkle reduction and skin laxity devices that use heat generated by laser, radio frequency, and ultrasound energy causing some heat-related injury to the skin.
Is ellacor® System Right for Me?
A personalized consultation with Dr. Baxt can help to determine if ellacor® will achieve your facial rejuvenation goals and if it is right for you. Generally, ellacor® procedures are safe and effective for men and women who:
- Are at least 22 years old
- Have fair to light brown skin tone (Fitzpatrick skin types I to IV)
- Are in good health and free from conditions that impair wound healing
ellacor® Micro-Coring Helpful Facts
Skin tightening is the crowning glory for cosmetic treatments. The cosmetic industry’s goal is to tighten skin without causing scars. At BAXT CosMedical®, Dr. Rebecca Baxt currently offers 2 technologies that work to tighten skin, Ultherapy® and ellacor® Micro-Coring™. While they are both safe and effective treatments, Dr. Baxt will recommend which treatment will best achieve your wrinkle reduction and skin tightening goals.
Dr. Rebecca Baxt, a board-certified dermatologist, answers frequently asked questions about ellacor® Micro-Coring™ Facial Wrinkle Reduction and Tightening Technology.
ellacor® Micro-Coring™ is a revolutionary device that uses hollow needles to remove tiny columns of skin all over the treatment area of the mid and lower face. The diameter of each needle on this device is less than 0.5mm. These small needles leave small dots visible on the skin that heal without scarring. After your procedure, the body’s natural healing response (collagen production) will begin, and your skin will heal better than before. If you are worried about the Micro-Coring™, think about the fact that we inject BOTOX® Cosmetic and dermal fillers into faces all the time with small needles. They also leave behind very tiny holes, yet there is no scar on the skin. So, just remember, the Micro-Coring™ technology leaves tiny holes = no scars!
ellacor® Micro-Coring™ is very safe when performed by an experienced board-certified dermatologist. ellacor® is clinically proven to be safe and effective for skin types I-IV.
At BAXT CosMedical®, Dr. Baxt applies a topical numbing cream prior to the procedure to help make her patients more comfortable. In an ellacor® clinical trial, patients reported pain during the procedure as less than 2 on a 0-10 scale. Dr. Baxt’s goal is to maintain as much patient comfort as possible. __________
Pivotal Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of a Micro-Coring Device Treating Moderate to Severe Facial Wrinkles. ClinicalTrials.gov NCT 03573271; submitted for publication. 51 subjects completed the pivotal study; subjects were treated 2-3 times with 7%-8% skin removal and up to 5mm needle coring depth. Each patient heals differently; mild to moderate side effects may still be present up to 30 days post-treatment per physician assessment. All clinical data, including patient healing, treatment pain on the 0-10 Wong-Baker Scale, Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale scores, and Subject Satisfaction is on file with Cytrellis.
Your treatment plan with ellacor® Micro-Coring™ is customized by Dr. Baxt based on your individual needs and cosmetic rejuvenation goals. During your complimentary consultation with Dr. Baxt, she will discuss your goals and advise you on the appropriate number of treatments. Typically, most patients can see results in 2-3 sessions with optimal results showing 5 to 6 months later. Results are long-lasting, but patients are advised to continue with a good daily skin care regimen and sun protection.
ellacor® Micro-Coring™ removes micro-portions of excess skin to achieve an improvement in the appearance of wrinkles. Other skin tightening and revitalization devices typically use heat generated by laser, radio frequency, and ultrasound energy to induce intentional thermal injury to the skin. With ellacor® there is NO energy or heat involved, and virtually no potential for scarring.
Ultherapy® works by utilizing micro-focused ultrasound to stimulate layers within your skin. By generating a thermal effect, this process stimulates your body’s natural ability to create new collagen for firming and toning results. Unlike laser and radio frequency devices, Ultherapy bypasses the surface of the skin by emitting ultrasound energy with focused imaging—to target just the right amount at the right depths and the right temperature.
Dr. Rebecca Baxt will discuss your skin tightening goals and provide you with a recommendation on which device is best for you.
