Are you interested in facial rejuvenation procedures without surgery? Ellacor® is an efficient treatment for moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles. It can remove a large amount of damaged skin without the risk of scarring. Ellacor® treatments have consistently resulted in significant wrinkle reduction in clinical trials.


The procedure uses a fractional tissue extraction process called Micro-Coring™ to non-surgically remove excess tissue in the treatment area. This treatment shrinks, tightens, and smooths the skin without affecting facial muscles. The device uses hollow needles to create micro-cores, treating the area without heat, thereby eliminating the risk of thermal injury and leaving no evidence of scarring.
The Micro-Coring™ process removes thousands of micro-cores of skin, which activates the body’s natural healing mechanism and, in turn, results in increased production of collagen and improved skin elasticity. The process is fully customizable, and you and your doctor will adjust the percentage of skin removal and treatment areas based on your desired results.
Dr. Lacerna’s expertise is featured in Chapter 46 in Grabb and Smith’s most recent “Plastic Surgery” book available on Amazon.

Every Ellacor® treatment begins with a personalized consultation. During this session, your provider evaluates your facial anatomy, skin quality, and the depth of your wrinkles. Together, you discuss your goals and expectations.
Before the procedure, your provider carefully maps the treatment area. Using this map, we determine the exact locations where micro-cores will be created. This planning ensures even skin tightening and wrinkle reduction while maintaining natural facial contours.
The Ellacor® session typically lasts 30 minutes or less. Once the micro-coring is complete, the provider reviews the treated areas and confirms that the procedure aligns with your treatment plan. You can see immediate improvements in skin texture and wrinkle appearance, while the full benefits develop as your skin continues to heal and remodel over the following weeks.

Ellacor® treatment is ideal for those who need more than what traditional non-invasive treatments can promise but are not yet ready for surgical procedures. Individuals who are experiencing changes in skin elasticity, especially in the cheek, jowls, and chin, may also be good candidates for this treatment. Your candidacy for Ellacor® will be determined during your consultation, where your doctor will conduct a full evaluation of your skin goals, skin laxity, and other important factors.
