Say YES to Ellacor! Totally Worth It for Lower Face Area!

Ellacor is a fairly new technology that treats wrinkles and sagging skin (so sad!) on the lower face. I decided to try it based on a recommendation from Dr. Kranendonk at Skye Dermatology in Jupiter, Florida. I am so glad I did!!! I had my treatment on a Thursday afternoon - it took about an hour (including numbing time) and was mildly uncomfortable overall. I left the office with some swelling and red "stamps" on the treated area - lower face and chin. I was worried about missing too much work so I stayed home Friday and planned to go back on Monday. Because Ellacor is not a "heat" based treatment, I had no pain or discomfort over the weekend. I sent Dr. K photos every morning so she could see how I was healing. By Monday, I was able to wear makeup and go to work!! I still had some redness and visible stamps on my face, along with bruising from the numbing process, but with a white mineral sunscreen followed by a tinted BB cream I was able to conceal any discoloration. I took these UNTOUCHED before and after "selfie" photos to witness any improvement for myself. The "before" photos were taken on the day of treatment and the "after" photos were taken at the 6 month mark. You can see I have a lift in my upper lip and the skin around my mouth appears tighter with less sagging (YAY!). Note that this was after only one treatment! I am very happy with the entire process - from treatment, to healing time, to the results. I would highly recommend this treatment to anyone looking to firm up their lower face area.
