Ellacor Micro-Coring in Severna Park, MD | Skinlogic
Ellacor is an FDA-approved, micro-coring treatment that removes excess, aging skin to reduce the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles without surgery. At Skinlogic in Severna Park, MD, we are excited to introduce Ellacor Micro-Coring, the first and only micro-coring device of its kind, to our prestigious line of skin treatments. Unlike traditional resurfacing treatments that simply stimulate the skin, Ellacor uses ultra-fine hollow needles to gently remove microscopic cores of lax, damaged skin from the mid to lower face, prompting the body’s natural healing response to leave skin firmer, smoother, and more youthful in appearance. This innovative in-office procedure offers real, visible results for moderate to severe wrinkles and sagging skin, without the downtime or risk associated with surgical treatments. At Skinlogic, we understand that every client’s skin is unique, and we are committed to providing personalized care to help you experience your aesthetic goals.

What Is Ellacor Micro-Coring?
Ellacor is the first and only FDA-approved micro-coring device offering a fundamentally different approach to skin rejuvenation than lasers or microneedling. Rather than simply heating or puncturing the skin to stimulate a healing response, Ellacor’s micro-coring technology uses a series of ultra-fine, hollow needles to gently and precisely remove tiny cores of excess, lax skin from the treatment area. Each core is smaller than half a millimeter in diameter, extending through the full thickness of the skin, yet small enough to heal without any visible scarring.
As these micro-cores are removed, the surrounding skin is left unharmed, which helps the treated area heal faster and encourages your body’s own natural production of collagen and elastin. The result is skin that appears noticeably firmer, smoother, and tighter over the following weeks and months.
Every Ellacor treatment is also fully customizable. Your provider can adjust both the depth and percentage of skin removed based on your unique skin thickness, treatment area, and aesthetic goals, allowing for a personalized approach. Most treatments are completed in about 30 minutes, making Ellacor a convenient in-office option for clients seeking real results without the downtime of surgery.
What Are the Benefits of Ellacor?
Ellacor offers a unique middle ground between minimally invasive treatments and surgical procedures, giving clients meaningful, visible improvement without the risk and recovery time associated with surgery. Some of the key benefits include:
- Real skin removal, not just stimulation
- No visible scarring
- Minimal downtime
- Customizable to your skin
- Long-lasting results
- Improved skin texture
- Reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Smoother, more even-looking skin
- Improved appearance of scarring
- A more lifted, refreshed look in the mid to lower face
Who Is a Good Candidate for Ellacor Micro-Coring?
Ellacor is FDA-cleared to treat moderate to severe wrinkles and skin laxity in the mid to lower face, making it a great option for adults who want meaningful, visible improvement without undergoing surgery. You may be a good candidate for Ellacor if you:
- Have moderate to severe wrinkles or sagging around your cheeks, mouth, or lower face
- Are looking for a non-surgical alternative to a facelift or other surgical skin removal
- Have not achieved the results you want from milder treatments, like microneedling or laser resurfacing
- Are in good general health and have realistic expectations about your results
- Are looking for treatment with minimal downtime
Because Ellacor works by removing skin, it is not appropriate for everyone. During your consultation, your provider will review your health history to help determine if Ellacor is right for you. Ellacor is generally not recommended for those who:
- Are pregnant or nursing
- Have open wounds, sores, or irritated skin in the desired treatment area
- Have certain dermatological or autoimmune conditions
- Have a bleeding disorder or are actively taking blood-thinning medications
- Have active skin or systemic infections
The best way to find out if Ellacor is right for you is through a personalized consultation where one of our skin specialists can evaluate your skin and goals in detail.
How Does Ellacor Micro-Coring Work?
Ellacor’s micro-coring technology works differently from other skin rejuvenation treatments. Rather than using heat or light to stimulate the skin, Ellacor uses a handheld device with ultra-fine needles to gently and precisely remove tiny cores of excess skin, similar in scale to the needles used to draw blood.
Before your session begins, your Skinlogic specialists will cleanse the treatment area and apply a numbing agent to help ensure your comfort through the procedure. Once you’re comfortable, your provider will glide the Ellacor handpiece across the treatment area in a precise pattern. As the device moves, it removes hundreds of microscopic cores of skin, each smaller than half a millimeter in diameter, while gentle suction helps stabilize the skin and collect the removed tissue. Your provider can customize the depth and amount of skin removed based on your unique skin thickness and treatment goals, allowing for a personalized approach with every session.
Additionally, because each micro-core is so small, the surrounding healthy skin helps the treated area heal quickly, often beginning to close before you leave your appointment. In the days that follow, your body’s natural healing response kicks in, building new collagen and elastin to support firmer, smoother-looking skin. Your results will continue to develop over the following weeks and months as your skin heals and rebuilds from within.
How Many Ellacor Micro-Coring Sessions Will I Need?
Most clients achieve their best Ellacor results with a series of 2 to 3 treatments, spaced approximately 30 days apart. This staged approach allows your skin time to heal and rebuild collagen between sessions, so each treatment builds on the results of the last.
That being said, the right number of sessions for you will depend on your unique skin concerns, the severity of your wrinkles or laxity, and your personal aesthetic goals. Some clients with milder concerns may see the improvement they’re looking for after a single session, while those with more significant sagging or deeper wrinkles often benefit from the full recommended series.
Your results continue to develop over time as your body produces new collagen and elastin, with most clients seeing their fullest results emerge over the 3 to 6 months following treatment. During your consultation, your Skinlogic provider will evaluate your skin and discuss your goals to build a personalized treatment plan, including how many sessions are likely to get you the results you want.
What Can You Expect During an Ellacor Micro-Coring Treatment at Skinlogic?
When you visit us for your Ellacor Micro-Coring sessions, you’ll meet with a member of our licensed medical aesthetic team and begin with a conversation between you and one of our skilled team members to discuss your medical history, skincare concerns, budget, and goals. During this consultation, we will review your skin’s laxity and thickness to customize your Ellacor session, including the depth and percentage of skin removed, to ensure that you get the most from your treatment.
Once your treatment plan is set, your provider will cleanse the treatment area and apply a numbing agent to help keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. When you’re ready, your provider will glide the Ellacor handpiece across the treatment area in a precise, customized pattern, gently removing microscopic cores of lax, aging skin while leaving the surrounding tissue undisturbed. Most sessions are completed in about 30 minutes, and many clients are comfortable returning to their regular routine shortly after.
To help further encourage the longevity of your results, we also offer a customized skincare regimen that includes samples to take home and trial. For clients whose skin may benefit from a series of treatments, or those who want to maintain their results over time, we also offer comprehensive treatment plans with sessions scheduled across the year.

Ellacor FAQs
Do you want to learn more about Ellacor at Skinlogic? Read our FAQs and complete our online form to meet the team today.
Most clients tolerate Ellacor Micro-Coring very well. Before treatment, a numbing agent is applied to the treatment area to help minimize any discomfort. In clinical trials, most patients rated their post-procedure discomfort as mild, comparable to the sensation of a light scratch or pinpoint pressure. Any tenderness after your session typically resolves within a few days.
One of the biggest advantages of Ellacor Micro-Coring is its minimal downtime compared to surgical alternatives. Because the micro-cores are so small, many begin to close before you even leave your appointment. Most clients can expect some redness, mild swelling, or pinpoint marks at the treatment site for several days, with many returning to their normal routine within a few days and full healing typically occurring within about a week.
Because Ellacor works by removing excess skin and stimulating your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, results are notably long-lasting. While individual results will vary, many clients enjoy firmer, smoother skin for a year or more following their treatment series. Maintaining a good skincare routine, sun protection, and periodic maintenance treatments can help extend and preserve your results over time.
Ellacor Micro-Coring and a surgical facelift both address sagging skin, but they take very different approaches. A facelift is a surgical procedure that involves incisions, anesthesia, and a lengthy recovery period. Ellacor, on the other hand, is a non-surgical, in-office treatment that removes microscopic cores of skin without incisions, stitches, or significant downtime. While a facelift may offer more dramatic results for severe sagging, Ellacor is an excellent option for clients seeking meaningful, visible skin tightening without the risks and recovery associated with surgery.
Ellacor is FDA-cleared to treat moderate to severe wrinkles in adults with Fitzpatrick Skin Types I to IV. Because darker skin types may respond differently to aesthetic treatments, additional clinical research is needed before Ellacor can be confidently recommended for Fitzpatrick Skin Types V and VI. During your consultation, your Skinlogic provider will evaluate your skin type and history to determine whether Ellacor is a safe and appropriate option for you.
