Ellacor is a first-of-its-kind treatment that wipes away wrinkles and tightens skin for a smoother, younger appearance. Roll back the clock and say bye-bye to bags and sags, and hello to rejuvenated, revitalized, remarkable skin. Trust your partners at Pure Dermatology to be by your side on your anti-aging journey with Ellacor.
Ellacor is a non-surgical treatment in which hollow needles are applied to the skin. These needles remove micro-cores of skin and actually eliminates wrinkles and sags, without going under the knife. Ellacor is minimally-invasive and FDA-approved. It’s a highly effective method for achieving younger-looking skin without surgery or scarring.

Ellacor is changing the game in achieving younger, smoother, tighter skin. It’s a mid- to lower-face treatment that significantly reduces wrinkles and make skin appear more supple and firm.
Ellacor can also be used to tighten the skin on the neck and lessen the effects of gravity on the jowls, below the chin, and even the décolleté.
Sagging skin is a common part of the aging process, but it can also make you feel self-conscious about your appearance. Ellacor technology is the first that actually removes skin without surgery, so you can reduce or eliminate sagging skin.
Ellacor is primarily used as a treatment for the mid and lower face, but it can also be applied on the underside of the chin, the neck, upper chest, décolleté, and even on the hands. No matter where it’s applied, it leaves the appearance of tighter, rejuvenated skin for a younger, fresher look.
Ellacor is a relatively new treatment, and while clinical trials have shown it to be highly effective on lighter skin tones, we are still awaiting trials for darker skin tones. Ellacor treatment also requires a bit more downtime than some other anti-aging treatments, so it may not work for your lifestyle.
The only way to know if Ellacor is right for you is to speak with a trusted, board-certified dermatologist, just like those you’ll find at Pure Dermatology. If you’re interested in Ellacor treatment in Santa Monica, Culver City, West LA, Pacific Palisades, or Brentwood (LA), the experts at Pure Dermatology are ready to meet you. We can schedule a consultation to determine if Ellacor treatment is right for your skin and your goals.
Younger-looking skin is waiting for you. Here are the steps you’ll take to turn back time with Ellacor.
You’ll meet with your dermatologist to determine whether you’re a good candidate for Ellacor treatment. We’ll discuss your goals, your budget, and build a plan that works for you.
When treatment day arrives, we’ll begin by prepping skin with a thorough cleansing to the treatment area. We’ll then apply a topical numbing cream followed by injecting a local anesthetic.
The Ellacor device can remove micro-cores of skin at a rate of 10mm per three seconds. Typically, treatment sessions last about 30-60 minutes, not including time for numbing the skin.
Patients report minor swelling and bruising after treatment, usually at the site of the anesthetic injections. There may also be some pinkness in the skin, so your dermatologist may recommend a post-procedure laser treatment to expedite the healing process and eliminate unwanted coloration.
Most often, patients report seeing a noticeable difference in the skin within one to two months of the initial treatment. Patients with more significant wrinkles may see improvements quicker, while others will take longer. Followup sessions are often recommended, and results increase over time.
Curious about Ellacor? The results speak for themselves.
You won’t need to do much to prepare for an Ellacor procedure. At your consultation, your physician will advise if there are any products or medications you need to discontinue prior to treatment. Your skin will be prepped and numbed when you come in for your appointment.
While Ellacor is not nearly as invasive as surgery, there is still a recovery period, during which you need to practice several key aftercare steps:
Ellacor is a revolutionary skin treatment, but it’s also very new, which means you probably have a lot of questions. Fortunately, we’ve got answers.
Yes, Ellacor treatment is safe and effective. It is FDA-approved and clinically-tested. Not every person will be a good fit for Ellacor, but your physician will be able to help you determine whether or not you’re a candidate.
The Ellacor procedure is minimally painful, with most patients reporting a discomfort level of 4 on a 0-10 scale. Some patients experience bruising, swelling, and tightness after treatment. This can be minimized by applying ice to treated area, and using any aftercare products supplied by your physician.
For optimal results, most patients need three treatment sessions spaced around eight weeks apart. Depending on skin laxity and severity of wrinkles, some patients may see noticeable improvement after just two treatments.
No, you should not wear makeup for five days after Ellacor treatment. It’s best to avoid any skin product, including sunscreen, moisturizers, and other topical treatments for that time period. You may use any products your physician supplies or recommends.
No one can turn back time, but your skin can make you believe it’s possible!
