Remove Aging Skin Without Surgery!

/in , /by
Introducing Ellacor® – the first and only FDA-approved fractional micro-coring device that removes excess skin to improve skin laxity! A small gauge needling device is used to create tiny punches in the skin that remove small columns of tissues. The Ellacor device helps to tighten and diminish the appearance of wrinkles and the treated area without surgery. After the skin is removed, the microscopic cores of sagging skin will heal without evidence of incisions or scarring as the skin begins to re-align and close the cores. During the body’s natural healing process, collagen production increases to help smooth and correct laxity, producing natural-looking results.

The treatment typically takes about 30 minutes or less (a series of three procedures spaced approximately 30 days apart is recommended). Numbing cream is applied to the treatment area 1 hour prior to the appointment time to make the treatment more comfortable. Studies have been shown to remove 8% of excess skin from treated areas. Results of lifting are noticeable within 2-3 weeks and with full results 3-6 months after final treatment.

Important Info About Fillers & Vaccine

/in , /by

Current ASDS guidance regarding dermal fillers and the vaccine are as follows:

  • Dermal filler inflammatory events very seldom occur with both hyaluronic acid and non-hyaluronic acid fillers.
  • Evidence suggests these reactions can be immunologically triggered by viral and bacterial illness, vaccinations (i.e., influenza vaccine) and dental procedures.
  • These rare adverse events are temporary and respond to treatments. 
  • Patients already treated with dermal fillers should not be discouraged or precluded from receiving vaccines of any kind. Patients who have had vaccines should not be precluded from receiving dermal fillers in the future.

Patients can get their filler two weeks before their vaccine.  We are recommending patients wait two weeks after their second vaccination.

Please call us with any questions and remember a history of prior dermal fillers does NOT prevent one from being vaccinated.
