Can Ellacor be used for the neck and submental area?

Question

Hi, curious if ellacore is appropriate for just the neck and submental area.

Stefan Mark Szczerba, MD · Answer

Ellacor is FDA approved for face so any other areas can be treated, but you would be treating them "off label."  When you do treatments "off label" it is ok, it just means the FDA didn't look at the device to treat that area.  We've done neck and submental areas with Ellacor many times.  The effect on neck skin is not as dramatic as facial skin but you definitely feel a difference.  Best Wishes!!

Hello, hope you are well. Yes, I apply Ellacor to the submental/submandibular neck regularly. I have found the only limiting factor to be the thickness of the skin. If it's too thick, the Ellacor device is unable to micro-core the skin effectively.

Cheers,
Dr. Tower
