Will Ellacor fix my cosmetic issues with my arm following IV infiltration? (Photo)

May 3, 2024
Asked By:glitchiban in Leavenworth, Washington

I had an IV drip infiltration incident a couple months back and it’s unfortunately wrecked the appearance of my arm, shifting the brachioradialis tendon and leaving behind loose skin from edema. I want my arm to go back to normal asap. Will I need surgery on my tendon? Can ellacor or other skin firming surgery help my situation?

Ellacor’s effect on beard hair?
Stefan Mark Szczerba, MD says:

Unlike radiofrequency microneedling, there is no energy delivered as the core of skin is being removed-leaving the hairshaft and the stem cells lining on the cellular level theoretically more protected. Although I have not heard of hair loss in the beard area from Ellacor, it theoretically...
