What is ELLACOR?
Ellacor is a groundbreaking aesthetic treatment that uses micro-coring™ technology to firm the skin and lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. As you get older or experience changes in your physique (such as with weight loss), you may experience loose, droopy skin as a result of lost volume. While other skin tightening treatments involve surgery or thermal energy, the Ellacor system uses hollow needles to extract “micro-cores” of excess skin, triggering your body’s collagen and elastin production at the same time for a naturally firmer, smoother result. Mariano Busso, MD, PA is proud to offer Ellacor as a gentler anti-aging solution for Miami, FL patients who want tighter, younger-looking skin without the risk of scarring. To learn more about this game-changing procedure, reach out to our facility to schedule your Ellacor consultation with our acclaimed dermatologist, Dr. Mariano Busso.

How does ELLACOR work?
Ellacor treatments at our Miami, FL office usually take less than 30 minutes per session, making them easy to fit into your day. During your appointment, our staff will prepare your skin for the procedure as you lie back in one of our comfortable treatment rooms. We will also administer local anesthesia to reduce any sensation from the treatment. Ellacor works by using a series of small, hollow needles to take out tiny “cores” of excess skin. As these cores are taken out, the body’s natural healing process is triggered, improving the skin’s texture, tone, and tightness over time. The needles can be adjusted to different depths, giving you options to customize your treatment for optimal results.
After your session, you may have some temporary redness or sensitivity, but there should be no scarring. For the best results, we recommend at least three Ellacor treatments at Mariano Busso, MD, PA, spacing them out 30 days apart.
