What is Ellacor® Body Treatment?

Ellacor® uses micro-coring technology to remove tiny columns of skin without heat, surgery, or sutures. By physically removing micro-cores of lax skin, the body is stimulated to contract and remodel the treated area as it heals.

Unlike energy-based devices that rely on heat to tighten skin, Ellacor®  works through controlled tissue removal, producing visible tightening while minimizing the risk of thermal injury. Over time, the skin’s natural healing response leads to:

  • Improved firmness
  • Smoother texture
    More refined contours

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has officially cleared the Ellacor System with Micro-Coring Technology for use on select body areas, including:

  • Back
  • Abdomen
  • Above the knees
  • Inner thighs
  • Above the elbows
  • Neck

Will Ellacor® remove excess skin after massive weight loss?

How is Ellacor® different from microneedling or RF microneedling for the body?

While microneedling and RF microneedling create controlled injury to stimulate collagen, Ellacor® physically removes micro-columns of skin. This distinction allows Ellacor to address laxity directly—not just skin quality—making it more effective in areas where loose skin is the primary concern.

How many Ellacor® Body treatments are typically needed?

Most patients achieve meaningful improvement with a single treatment per area. However, depending on skin quality, degree of laxity, and treatment goals, some patients may benefit from a staged or additional session, which will be discussed during consultation.

When will I start seeing results—and when will the final results be visible?

Early tightening may be noticeable once initial healing resolves, but results continue to evolve as collagen remodeling progresses. Final improvements typically become more apparent over several months, reflecting the body’s natural healing timeline.

Does Ellacor® help with stretch marks or crepey skin texture?

Ellacor® may improve overall skin texture and firmness, making stretch marks and crepey skin less noticeable. However, it is not designed to eliminate stretch marks entirely. Your provider may recommend combination treatments to improve skin quality more comprehensively.

Can Ellacor® be combined with other body treatments?

Yes. Ellacor® is often incorporated into a broader aesthetic plan and may be paired with treatments such as liposuction, injectable biostimulators, or energy-based skin tightening—either before or after healing—to optimize results safely.

Is Ellacor® appropriate for all skin tones?

Ellacor® does not rely on thermal energy, which reduces the risk of pigment-related complications. During consultation, your provider will evaluate skin tone, healing history, and individual risk factors to ensure the treatment plan is appropriate.

What are the risks and possible side effects of Ellacor® Body Treatment?

As with any minimally invasive procedure, potential risks include temporary redness, swelling, pinpoint scabbing, bruising, prolonged healing, infection, or changes in skin pigmentation. Scarring is uncommon due to the microscopic size of the treatment sites, but individual healing responses vary. Your provider will review all risks and safety considerations during consultation.

Will Ellacor® remove excess skin after massive weight loss?

Ellacor® can significantly improve skin laxity after weight loss when looseness is mild to moderate. However, it does not remove large amounts of excess skin. Patients with more advanced laxity may require surgical body contouring for optimal correction.
