Ready to transform your skin?

What Is Ellacor?
Ellacor is a revolutionary skin-tightening treatment that mechanically removes tiny, full-thickness cores of skin, triggering natural healing and collagen production for a smoother, firmer complexion. Unlike traditional facelift surgery or energy-based treatments, Ellacor does not rely on heat or lasers, reducing the risk of scarring or pigmentation changes.
The Science Behind Ellacor
Ellacor was developed based on the pioneering research of Mass General’s Dr. William Austen Jr. and Dr. Rox Anderson, whose ingenuity helped bring this groundbreaking technology from concept to reality.
“It can remove as much skin as some surgical procedures – without scarring,” said Dr. William G. Austen, Jr., Chief of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Chief of Burn Surgery at MGH in Boston, MA, and Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School.
By precisely removing tiny portions of skin, the surrounding tissue naturally contracts, leading to progressive, natural skin tightening without the extended recovery time of traditional facelifts.


How Does It Work?
- Micro-Coring Technology – Tiny cores of skin are removed, allowing your body to regenerate smoother, firmer tissue.
- Collagen Stimulation – Your skin naturally responds by producing new collagen for improved elasticity.
- Progressive, Natural Results – Visible improvements begin in a few weeks, with optimal results in 3–6 months.
At Totality Medispa, our experts customize your Ellacor treatment for the best, most natural-looking results.

Most sessions last under an hour.
