Revolutionary Skin Tightening. No Surgery. Exceptional Results.
Ellacor Skin Tightening in Ashburn, VA
The First & Only FDA-Cleared Micro-Coring Technology
What Is Ellacor?
Ellacor is the first and only FDA-cleared micro-coring technology that removes tiny columns of skin to improve wrinkles and skin laxity — particularly in the mid and lower face as well as the body.
Unlike lasers or RF treatments that rely on heat, Ellacor works mechanically, which means:
- Less thermal damage to surrounding tissue
- Faster recovery compared to more aggressive resurfacing
- Natural skin tightening and smoothing
- Improvement in moderate to severe wrinkles
This breakthrough treatment stimulates your skin’s healing response while preserving a natural appearance — helping you look refreshed, firmer, and more youthful.
Ellacor is ideal for improving
What Can Ellacor Treat?
- Wrinkles around the mouth
- Moderate skin laxity
- Lower face sagging
- Crepey skin texture
- Smile lines and fine lines
- Body concerns — abdomen, knees, and arms
Ellacor pairs exceptionally well with a facelift or necklift to enhance overall rejuvenation, and can deliver impressive improvement for abdominal skin laxity — creating a smoother, firmer appearance. It is especially popular among patients who want significant improvement but are not ready for a facelift.
Mechanical, Not Heat-Based
Why Ellacor Is Different
Many skin tightening treatments rely on heat-based technology that stimulates collagen indirectly. Ellacor physically reduces excess skin through micro-coring, creating visible improvement in laxity and wrinkles in a way that is uniquely effective.
