Is Ellacor safe for darker skin?

Question

I am about a Fitzpatrick IV and am wondering if this procedure is safe for people with darker skin. Thank you

Nana N. Mizuguchi, MD, FACS · Answer

Ellacor is a micro-coring device used to remove small cores of skin in patients, while working to tighten the skin! As far as seeing if this procedure would be right for you, a consultation appointment is recommended for you to have with your plastic surgeon or licensed physician specialized in the device. While there is not a separate clinical trial for those with Fitzpatrick skin types V and VI, those with types I - IV should be able to tolerate the anesthetic and be able to proceed with the procedure. Again, a consultation is the best way to determine if this is the right device and procedure for you!
