Ellacor® is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat wrinkles that are moderate to severe. This FDA-cleared procedure is effective in restoring the skin and providing natural-looking results. The treatment can be successfully completed in 30 minutes or less, and results are visible after the first session. The procedure targets the mid- to lower face to eliminate deep lines and wrinkles.
Dr. Lacerna’s expertise is featured in Chapter 46 in Grabb and Smith’s most recent “Plastic Surgery” book available on Amazon.
The recovery process after Ellacor® can take three to four days. Swelling and some bruising are common after treatment. During this time, patients also notice a tightening of the skin as collagen production increases. This results in a firmer and plumper appearance. While results are noticeable after one treatment, subsequent sessions can help further improve skin quality. Your doctor will provide a treatment plan, including the number of sessions that will help you achieve your skin goals.
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 that are experiencing changes in skin elasticity, especially in the cheek, jowl, and chin area, 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. If you are wondering if Ellacor® is right for you, book a consultation today with Dr. Lacerna by calling 941-954-4500 or requesting an appointment.
