The ellacor® System with Micro-Coring® technology is indicated for use by medical professionals for the treatment of moderate and severe wrinkles in the mid and lower face in adults aged 22 years or older with Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV.
Your medical professional will discuss the following side effects with you prior to treatment. Proper pre- and post-treatment care reduces the risk of these side effects; however, some conditions may or may not resolve over time. Side effects associated with this procedure may include: redness, swelling, bruising, burning, dryness, roughness, tightness/pulling of skin, crusting, pain/discomfort, tenderness, tingling, bleeding, numbness, skin peeling, or circular marks on skin.
Other side effects not commonly observed with this procedure may include: itching, hyper/hypo pigmentation, hematoma, infection, scarring, skin irregularities, skin necrosis, uneven appearance of the treated regions (left and right sides of face), or anesthesia toxicity (anesthesia-related complications may include allergic reaction and possibly death).
