About Ellacor® Micro-Coring®
Ellacor® Micro-Coring® is the first and only FDA-cleared device that uses hollow needles to remove micro-cores of skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing process. Unlike traditional lasers or microneedling, Ellacor® physically removes skin to reduce volume and tighten tissue—resulting in smoother, firmer skin in the mid and lower face.
At Highlander Dermatology and Surgery Center, we deliver this cutting-edge technology in a clinical environment guided by patient comfort, safety, and real results.
How Ellacor® Micro-Coring® Works
Targeted Skin Removal
Ellacor® removes micro-cores of skin—up to 8% of the treatment area—using precision hollow needles. This process does not leave scars, but it does stimulate the skin’s healing response.
Natural Collagen Stimulation
Following treatment, the body naturally generates new collagen and elastin, which tightens the skin and restores smoother texture over time.
No Surgery or Thermal Energy
Unlike lasers, ultrasound, or surgical procedures, Ellacor® uses mechanical micro-coring. There’s no thermal injury, meaning less inflammation and faster healing.
Progressive, Lasting Results
Results develop over 3–6 months as collagen rebuilds. For optimal improvement, most patients benefit from a series of 2–3 sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart.
Candidates for Ellacor® Micro-Coring
Ellacor® Micro-Coring® is ideal for women and men seeking meaningful facial rejuvenation without the risks of surgery. Whether your goal is to reduce wrinkles, firm loose skin, or smooth acne scars, our specialists in Brookfield and Franklin can help you determine if Ellacor® is right for your skin type and goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ellacor® Micro-Coring® painful?
Most patients describe it as mildly uncomfortable. We use local anesthetic to ensure comfort during treatment. You may feel pressure or a tapping sensation.
What is the recovery time after Ellacor®?
Expect swelling for several days and bruising for a week. Micro-pattern marks can last up to 1–3 weeks, and makeup can typically be applied after one week. Most patients return to normal activities within several days.
How soon will I see results from Ellacor®?
Initial tightening can be seen in a few weeks, with ongoing improvement for 3–6 months as new collagen forms.
Can Ellacor® help with acne scars?
Yes. By physically removing scarred skin, Ellacor® often improves texture more effectively than treatments like microneedling or lasers.
How many Ellacor® treatments will I need?
While some patients benefit from one session, most see optimal results with a series of 2–3 treatments spaced several weeks apart.
