Ellacor Q&A

Hello, I am a 47 year old man interested in getting the Ellacor procedure on my neck and jowls for skin tightening. But, dont want to negatively affect my beard hair. So, does Ellacor negatively affect the beard? Thank you

I read that Ellacor can move silicone. the article states More recently, a case o. successui removal of injected silicone using microcoring technology was reported, providing a potential scar-less option for its removal.118] this was published in 2023. is anyone familiar with this? It was reported by doctor David HashemiI

Ive been seeing doctors comment that Ellacor can replace a lip lift - is this true? Cost aside, I had one lip lift and the recovery was hard - wasn't allowed to make expressions for 2 weeks which made me take off work, and i had a tight unnatural smile for months. I also wasn't allowed to do heavy weight training for 3 wks. I would love to know if there was an alternative!

I know it's not approved for the nose but I have some scarring on my nose from silicone. I saw an article that said At the 2019 meeting of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, Dr. Waibel and Roy G. Geronemus, MD, director of the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York, presented a small pilot study on the successful use of Ellacor for acne scars and striae. Dr. Waibel said that she and her colleagues in Miami have been using the device to treat skin laxity in several anatomical areas, including the neck, nose, inner thigh,

After 2 facelifts, I have crepy skin on my neck. I have had RF Micro needling but the crepy ness still remains. Do you think Ellacore would be a good choice to remedy this problem?

I am curious about the healing process for Ellacor and specifically if there is a reason it is performed on the lower 3rd of the face, rather than higher on the cheeks. Wouldn't higher on the cheek allow for less pull down on the ocular and cheek area, and allow for a higher lift for the lower sections as it heals? Is there a higher risk of complications in the cheek area? Thank you!

Hi doctors, Can Ellacor be safely done on East Asian skin? I know Asian skins are darker than white skinks and maybe thicker too. Will Ellacor cause scars and pigmentation on Asian skin?

Will Ellacor help improve the look of acne scars or make it worse? This scarring includes deep poc marks and is severely disfiguring. Will these scars preclude me from receiving Ellacor treatments? Thanks in advance for your advice.

What is the minimal area that needs to be treated to treat subtle marionette lines? Would the section sweeping up from the mouth corners to the cheekbone and down to the jawline be enough? Or do I have to start at the bottom of my nose effectively also covering nasolabial? The reason I ask is I am prone to slow healing and would prefer to go section by section. thank you.

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