Jury Still Out!

I started my journey and came across Ellacor middle of 2022. I had 3 consultations, 2 being in California and one in Miami. The one in Miami was my deciding factor, as, like one reviewer stated, they are a dermatology office and not a plastic surgeons office, therefore less expensive. One in California wanted $5,000 the other $3500 and Miami was less and on Dr was part of the team of providers for the testing/reviewing of Ellacor. The cost of flying there and the treatment was half of the cheaper in California. I have tried a lot of procedures, Ultherapy~2 times, don't waste your money ladies, and other laser treatments. I won't do the fillers in my checks or lips or a facelift. I don't like the look of fillers, and I'm just not ready for a facelift, maybe never.
I had my treatment on a Thursday and flew home the same day. Procedure itself was painless, because of the numbing and lidocaine that was done before hand....OUCH is all I can say about the lidocaine, but after that, all has been quite a breeze. I have had no pain, but a lot of swelling and of course the redness, and dryness of my skin. My suggestion is sleep propped up, as it will help with swelling and keep moisturized. The jury is still out on if this procedure has done what I am looking for, but it has only been a few days. I will update in a few days. As for the provider, they have been great with answering questions and following up on how I am doing!

I am still unsure of this procedure, I can see some difference but barley. I will be getting another session done next month and hopefully I will be satisfied. I do have to say, my healing process was a breeze!

This is "current", well after 6 months of getting my second treatment. Something funky happened around the upper corners of my mouth, not sure what happened. I've tried multiple things and have yet to come across anything to help lower face. I thought for sure Ellacor was it, it wasn't. Next thing I will try is deep chemical peel, and lower facelift.

Your profiles are very youthful. Without seeing a before picture it’s hard to tell whether you got a result or not. You are very attractive. I had a facelift 21 yrs ago and gave never regretted it. Now I’m looking at ellacor for maintenance.

I see a big difference from your before photos. This is a nonsurgical treatment for skin tightening and not a facelift.

This is a huge difference! Wow! Your mouth looks so much younger- not sure what the weird thing is that you mentioned happening, we all know our own bodies best tho!

I also agree... I see a significant improvement from the before photos to 10 months post procedure. I have heard that some people need more than one treatment and for the $1750 you paid, I think you got a really good price for the procedure for your investment. As another poster mentioned, it isn't a facelift but nonsurgical tightening. Nothing will get the results of a facelift except a facelift. Maybe speak with your provider about a second treatment or look into an erbium or ultrapulse laser treatment for improving the remaining wrinkles/skin texture. Then consider using retinol long term (after you have healed) and don't forget your sunscreen! Retinol and sunscreen are a must-have in anyone's preventative treatment plan.
Thanks for sharing your experience. And thanks for those post-op tips!
Excited to hear how you feel about your results after the swelling and redness goes down!
