The newest advancement in skin tightening technology is now available at Integrated Dermatology of Reston. Ellacor offers a non-surgical skin tightening in northern Virginia that improves the appearance of sagging skin and wrinkles without having to go under the knife.
What is Ellacor?
Ellacor is an FDA-cleared device that non-surgically removes excess skin. This is different than microneeding, which punctures microholes in the skin. Ellacor uses hollow needles to precisely remove tiny hollows of skin which triggers the body’s natural healing response. Up to 8% of the skin’s surface can be removed without scarring or the downtime that is associated with surgical skin tightening procedures. As collagen production increases during the healing process, the holes will be filled in, giving you tighter, more youthful looking skin.
Benefits of Ellacor Non-Surgical Skin Tightening
- Minimally Invasive: Compared to surgery, Ellacor offers non-invasive treatment option for tightening skin on your face and body.
- Reduced Downtime: Most patients experience redness in the treated area for about a week and can return to normal activities within a few days.
- Versatile Treatment: Ellacor is designed to target wrinkles on the mid-to-lower face, including marionette lines and laugh lines. It has also been found to be effective on loose skin on other areas of the body, such as the abdominal area on post partum women.
- Natural-Looking Results: By stimulating collagen production, Ellacor results are gradual. Over time you’ll see improvements in skin texture and a reduction in wrinkles.
- Safe for Most Skin Tones: Ellacor is best for patients with Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV.
- Fast Treatment: Ellacore can treat a large treatment area at one time, which means that most sessions are only around 30 minutes for non-surgical skin tightening in northern Virginia.
