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?

  1. Micro-Coring Technology – Tiny cores of skin are removed, allowing your body to regenerate smoother, firmer tissue.
  2. Collagen Stimulation – Your skin naturally responds by producing new collagen for improved elasticity.
  3. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Ellacor different from microneedling?

Ellacor removes tiny portions of skin, while microneedling only creates micro-injuries to stimulate collagen. Ellacor provides more dramatic tightening without heat or lasers.

Yes! Repeat treatments can enhance and extend your results. Plan on two to three treatments for optimal results.

Is the procedure painful?

With local anesthetic, most patients experience minimal discomfort. Pronox and prescription pain pills are available for additional pain control, if needed.

How long does an Ellacor session take?

Most sessions last under an hour.

Are there any side effects?

Mild redness, swelling, and tenderness may occur, but they typically resolve within a few days.

Is Ellacor safe for darker skin tones?

Ellacor is FDA-approved for Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV. We recommend a consultation for personalized guidance.

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Avoid blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen , naprosyn, vitamins) for 7 days before treatment to minimize bruising.

Can I combine Ellacor with other treatments?

Came to see my most favorite person, Dr. Nadel, and staff today! I started coming to see Dr. Nadel in 2022. She helped me immensely with my lips, which had been filled incorrectly for a long, long time! I come to her, only, because she is a wealth of knowledge and her bedside manner is spectacular! One of the nicest and most honest people I have ever met! Her staff is also incredible - so friendly and professional. Always go above and beyond to help. You won’t go wrong coming to see them. You will be thrilled! ❤️

I had an amazing experience at Totality Med Spa! I received Botox and filler from Sarah, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. She made me feel so comfortable, and the results look incredibly natural—exactly what I was hoping for. The entire team was so sweet and professional, and the atmosphere of the spa was warm and welcoming. Highly recommend Totality Med Spa for anyone looking for top-notch care and beautiful results!
