Smooth and tighten up your skin with Ellacor 2.0. This device uses precise Micro-Coring Technology to extract tiny, targeted columns of skin, decreasing the appearance of wrinkles and promoting tightening. Madfes Dermatology & Aesthetics Group offers Ellacor for better skin texture and quality without surgery.
Ellacor treatment uses the FDA-cleared Ellacor device to remove micro-amounts of skin (approximately 4–8%) with precision hollow needles, stimulating collagen and elastin production for visibly firmer skin. It is a minimally invasive alternative to laser and radiofrequency, offering the results of a mini lift with a fraction of the recovery time. Targeted areas include mid to lower face, cheeks, around the mouth, under the chin, and body areas of the abdomen, ie, stretch marks.
Ellacor precisely removes the cores of skin as the device moves across the treatment area. Specially designed hollow needles penetrate and remove up to 8% of skin without evidence of scarring. After the skin is removed, it prompts the body to naturally produce collagen and elastin, key components that contribute to firm, youthful skin. As these micro-cores heal, the skin tightens and rejuvenates, significantly improving texture and appearance.
See long-lasting results with just 1-2 facial treatments and 2-4 for the body.
Ideal candidates for Ellacor in our NYC, Greenwich, CT, or Hollywood, FL practice seek to improve their skin’s appearance without surgery. Ellacor is great for adults with moderate wrinkles and loose skin. However, it is not recommended for those who are pregnant, with active infections, darker Fitzpatrick V–VI skin tones, or a history of keloids.
Ellacor 2.0 is suitable for those with:
Unlike lasers, ultrasound Sofwave, or radiofrequency devices that rely on heat, Ellacor uses mechanical micro-coring to remove tiny skin sections without needing thermal energy. It allows visible skin tightening with less risk of overheating the tissue or causing thermal damage.
Your journey begins with a consultation at Madfes Dermatology & Aesthetics Group. During this meeting, a thorough skin assessment will be conducted to evaluate your skin’s condition and elasticity. Our specialists will discuss your goals, review your medical history, explain the Ellacor procedure, and determine if you are a good candidate or would benefit from another skin tightening procedure.
The Ellacor procedure begins with applying a local anesthetic one hour prior to the procedure. Local anesthesia will also be injected. Using the Ellacor device, we will precisely target and remove microscopic cores of skin from the treatment area. This selective removal stimulates the body’s healing response, producing collagen and skin tightening. You may feel some pressure, but it’s manageable.
The Ellacor 2.0 procedure ensures your safety and effectively addresses your specific concerns through a controlled process. The entire procedure is completed within an hour.
Recovery from Ellacor 2.0 is quick. Most patients experience only minor discomfort and redness. You can expect to resume your regular activities within a few days. Some swelling or bruising may occur, typically lasting between three and seven days.
After treatment, laser balm is applied for the first 3 days to support healing. Avoid makeup, retinoids, sun exposure, hot tubs, and strenuous activity for a week. Initial healing typically occurs within days, while skin-tightening results continue to develop over the next 2-3 months. Contact us if you experience prolonged redness, pain, or any signs of infection.
The cost of Ellacor skin tightening varies based on treatment areas. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed cost breakdown reflecting the areas that were treated. We aim to keep our pricing clear and transparent, so you know exactly what to expect before starting your procedure.

Most patients see results after one to two sessions, spaced about one month apart. The number of treatments depends on your skin condition, goals, and how your body responds to collagen stimulation over time.
The procedure uses micro-coring needles that remove the skin in tiny, controlled columns, each measuring less than 0.5 mm in width. When performed by skilled Ellacor providers, the risk of scarring is minimal, and healing is typically smooth and uncomplicated.
You may notice an initial skin texture improvement within a few weeks. However, full results typically develop over 2-3 months as new collagen forms and tightens the skin.
Ellacor is currently FDA-cleared for Fitzpatrick skin types I through IV. It is not recommended for individuals with darker skin tones (types V and VI) due to a higher risk of post-procedure pigmentation changes.
