Ellacor
Less Skin. Less Sag. All You.
Wrinkles and sagging along the lower face have met their match. At Pur Aesthetics and Wellness in Granger, IN, we offer Ellacor, the first and only FDA-cleared micro-coring device that actually removes tiny amounts of excess skin, prompting the surrounding tissue to tighten and smooth itself naturally. No fillers, no heat, no incisions, just real, lasting improvement for moderate to severe wrinkles.
What Is Ellacor?
It’s simple: Ellacor’s handheld device removes dozens of hair-thin cores of skin from targeted areas, similar in concept to how hair transplant grafts are taken, but on a microscopic scale. Removing this tissue signals your skin to contract and rebuild collagen as it heals, tightening the treated area from within. It’s minimally invasive, backed by FDA clearance, and designed to treat the kind of moderate to severe wrinkles that injectables and lasers often can’t fully resolve.
Treatable Conditions With Ellacor
Whether it’s from age, sun exposure, or simply time, loose or wrinkled skin along the lower face can be one of the hardest areas to treat non-surgically. Ellacor is ideal for addressing:
- Moderate to severe smile lines and marionette lines
- Jowls and sagging along the jawline
- Loose or crepey skin on the lower cheeks
- Deep static wrinkles that don’t respond well to injectables alone
- Skin laxity in clients who want real tightening without surgery
While these changes are a natural part of aging, many clients want a solution that goes beyond temporary volume or surface heat, treating the excess skin itself.
How It Works
At Pur Aesthetics and Wellness, we use the Ellacor micro-coring device to deliver precise, measurable skin removal.
Micro-Coring Technology: A handheld device passes over the treatment area, removing tiny, evenly spaced cores of skin (each about the width of a hair) at a controlled depth. The openings are so small they close on their own without stitches. As the skin heals, it draws together and tightens, while the body’s natural collagen response continues to firm the area over the following months.
Your provider customizes the treatment pattern and depth based on your skin’s laxity and your aesthetic goals.
Ellacor Benefits
Real Tissue Removal, Real Results
Unlike energy-based tightening devices, Ellacor physically removes excess skin, addressing the root cause of sagging rather than just heating the surface.
FDA Cleared for Wrinkles
Ellacor is FDA cleared specifically for the treatment of moderate to severe wrinkles in the lower face, backed by clinical study data.
One Session, Ongoing Improvement
A single treatment removes a meaningful percentage of excess skin, with results continuing to improve for several months as the skin heals and tightens.
No Incisions, No Stitches
The micro-cores are small enough to close on their own, so there’s no cutting, suturing, or visible scarring.
Minimal Downtime
Most clients experience redness and small pinpoint marks for about a week, far less recovery than a surgical lift.
A Firmer, More Refreshed Lower Face
As the skin tightens and rebuilds collagen, jowls soften, lines relax, and the lower face looks lifted, without looking altered.
Ellacor Treatment Process: What to Expect
Before
We’ll start with a consultation to assess your skin laxity, wrinkle severity, and goals, then map out the treatment area and customize your session.
Pre-Treatment Tips:
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning for 1 to 2 weeks
- Skip retinoids and exfoliating products on the treatment area a few days prior
- Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup or lotion
During
Your provider will apply a local anesthetic to keep you comfortable, then guide the Ellacor device across the treatment area to remove the micro-cores in a precise pattern.
Treatment time: Roughly 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area treated.
After
You’ll notice redness, mild swelling, and tiny pinpoint marks where the cores were removed. These marks typically flake off within about a week, revealing smoother, tighter skin underneath as healing continues.
Post-Care:
- Keep the treated area clean and follow your provider’s aftercare instructions closely
- Wear SPF once healed and avoid direct sun exposure
- Avoid picking at the healing pinpoint marks
- Skip strenuous workouts and excessive sweating for a few days
Results Timeline
Initial tightening is visible within the first few weeks as the skin closes and heals. Continued improvement in firmness and wrinkle reduction develops over 3 to 6 months as collagen rebuilds. Many clients achieve their desired results with a single session, though your provider may recommend additional treatments for more advanced laxity.
Am I a Good Candidate for Sclerotherapy?
You may be an ideal candidate if:
- You have moderate to severe wrinkles or sagging in the lower face
- You want real skin tightening without surgery
- You’re in good general health
- You’re not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You’ve had limited results from injectables or energy-based tightening alone
During your consultation, we’ll determine whether Ellacor, or a combination with other treatments, is the safest and most effective path to your goals.
FAQ
How is Ellacor different from other skin tightening treatments?
Most tightening devices rely on heat or energy to stimulate collagen. Ellacor physically removes tiny cores of excess skin, addressing sagging at its source rather than relying on heat alone, which is why it’s FDA cleared specifically for moderate to severe wrinkles.
Is Ellacor painful?
Your provider applies a local anesthetic before treatment, so most clients feel minimal discomfort during the procedure itself. Mild soreness or tenderness afterward is normal and manageable.
How many sessions will I need?
Many clients see significant improvement after just one treatment, though your provider may recommend a second session for more advanced skin laxity.
What does recovery look like?
Expect redness, mild swelling, and small pinpoint marks for about a week. Most clients return to normal activities within a few days, with makeup often usable to cover residual marks once cleared by your provider.
Where on the face can Ellacor be used?
Ellacor is FDA cleared for the lower face, making it especially effective for jowls, marionette lines, and sagging along the jawline.
Can Ellacor be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Many clients pair Ellacor with injectables, laser treatments, or skin resurfacing for a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation. We’ll help build a plan tailored to your goals.
How long do results last?
Because Ellacor removes tissue and stimulates genuine collagen remodeling, results are long-lasting. Ongoing aging and lifestyle factors will still affect the skin over time, so maintenance treatments can help preserve your results.
