The Procedure that is Creating Buzz

” For patients who have longed for a solution to sagging facial skin and wrinkles without going under the knife, micro-coring is the new sparkly toy on the shelf. “

” Microneedling, microdermabrasion, microblading… That’s a lot of micros to keep straight, but some experts say micro-coring is unlike anything else in the category.  “

” This definitely sounds like a dream come true for those who are too tired of injectable touch-ups or take exception to the risks that come with surgeries. “

” Micro-coring can help rejuvenate the skin by stimulating the production of collagen, which a surgical facelift cannot. “

” Micro-coring has the added benefit of removing dermal tissue, rather than displacing it. “

” Those tiny chunks force the skin to go into overdrive producing more collagen and elastin to heal them (don’t worry, they’re microscopic so they don’t cause scars). Think of it as sitting somewhere between microneedling and a face lift. “

” Fort Lauderdale, FL dermatologist Dr. Matthew Elias agrees and says it is probably the only thing that really works nonsurgically for all patients. “

The ellacor® procedure should not be used on patients that are pregnant or nursing mothers, suffering from open wounds, sores, or irritated skin in the treatment area, have an allergy to stainless steel or allergy to topical, oral, or injected medications or preparations that may be used during the procedure, such as petrolatum, lidocaine, bupivacaine, chlorhexidine, or povidone-iodine. Patients that have a history or presence of any clinically significant bleeding disorder, have dermatological or autoimmune conditions that may affect the treatment outcome; these may include, but are not limited to: actinic keratosis, raised nevi, rosacea, melasma, active acne, cutaneous papules/nodules, active inflammatory lesions, dermatitis, psoriasis, cellulitis, urticarial folliculitis, acute inflammatory phase of scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, eczema, psoriasis, allergic dermatitis, collagen disorders, or lupus should not be treated with the ellacor® procedure. Additionally, patients that have systemic infections or acute local skin infections such as Hepatitis disorders type A, B, C, D, E or F or HIV infection, take a high dose of anti-coagulants or blood-thinning substances (e.g. aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, NSAIDs, warfarin, heparin, acetylsalicylic acid during the previous fourteen (14) days), are on courses of chemotherapy, high-dose corticosteroid use, or radiation in the treatment area, have undergone plastic surgery of the face within the last twelve (12) months or have any facial surgical scars less than twelve (12) months old, have undergone injections of dermal fillers, fat, or botulinum toxin, as well as any minimally invasive/invasive skin treatment in the treatment area during the previous six (6) months, or have scars less than six (6) months old in the treatment area should not be treated with the ellacor® procedure.

Appropriateness for treatment is based on the clinical assessment of the patient by the treating physician. Use caution when treating patients with the following conditions or taking the following medications:

  • History of hyperpigmentation
  • Recent exposure to sun or tanning beds with red, peeling, or swollen skin
  • Active, chronic, or recurrent infection including bacterial or fungal infections
  • History of active herpes simplex infection in the treatment area
  • Use of topical or oral preparations/medications that may change the skin integrity or prolong healing
  • Over the Counter (OTC) and herbal supplements that may increase the risk of bleeding or prolong healing, such as gingko biloba, garlic, ginseng, dong quai, fever few, and fish oil
  • Other medications or medical conditions that may interfere with the treatment or that the treatment provider believes may compromise the safety of the patient or the efficacy of the treatments. Refer the patient to their Primary Care Physician (PCP) or other managing health care provider or clearance prior to treatment
  • Recent trauma or surgery to the treatment area
