Ellacor® is a non-surgical skin-tightening treatment that uses micro-coring technology to remove tiny columns of skin. This process stimulates natural collagen production and gradual tissue contraction, leading to visibly firmer, smoother skin over time—without large incisions or visible scars.

How ellacor® Micro-Coring Tightens Skin Without Surgery
Ellacor® Micro-Coring is the first procedure designed to remove small micro-cores of skin, allowing the surrounding tissue to contract and tighten naturally as it heals across both the face and body.
Unlike energy-based treatments that heat the skin, micro-coring works by reducing excess skin and stimulating collagen production, improving firmness and texture over time in areas like the jawline, neck, abdomen, and chest.
True Skin Removal
Unlike treatments that rely on heat or energy to tighten the skin, ellacor® Micro-Coring works by removing tiny micro-cores of excess skin using hollow needles. These microscopic cores are so small they heal naturally, allowing the surrounding skin to contract and tighten.
By directly reducing excess skin, the procedure helps improve visible laxity and texture in areas such as the like the jawline, chest, abdomen, and thighs.
Natural Collagen Stimulation
As the skin heals following treatment, the body activates its natural repair process, producing new collagen and elastin in the treated facial and body areas.
This gradual remodeling helps improve skin firmness, texture, and elasticity, with results that continue to develop over time as collagen builds.
Targeted Treatment Areas
Ellacor® Micro-Coring is the first procedure designed to remove micro-cores of skin with sub-millimeter precision across the face, neck, abdomen, and chest, addressing skin laxity with precision.
The result is a minimally invasive approach that tightens skin without surgical incisions, offering a refined alternative for areas like the face, abdomen, and chest.
Precision Skin Tightening for Face & Body
Using advanced micro-coring technology, ellacor® removes excess skin and stimulates collagen production to improve firmness and texture across the face and body, all through a minimally invasive approach.
Micro-coring Technology
Micro-coring® is state-of-the-art, minimally invasive technique that removes tiny columns of skin to stimulate natural tightening and collagen renewal, improving wrinkles and skin laxity without surgical excision or visible scarring.
Works With Your Skin
By removing thousands of microscopic cores rather than large sections of tissue, micro-coring supports the skin’s natural repair process, improving firmness and texture while preserving a natural, unoperated appearance.
Targeted Treatment
Ellacor® precisely treats areas where skin laxity is most visible, including the lower face, neck, abdomen, and chest, delivering controlled improvement without disrupting surrounding tissue.
Minimal Downtime
Because the procedure uses microscopic cores rather than surgical incisions, recovery is typically faster than traditional surgical skin tightening. Most patients can return to normal activities shortly after treatment while their skin continues to improve.

From Consultation to Smooth, Natural-looking Results
Consultation
At Lawrence Park Plastic Surgery, your ellacor® journey begins with a personalized consultation in our Toronto clinic. During this session, a member of our medical aesthetics team will assess your skin quality, degree of laxity, and aesthetic goals, and determine whether ellacor® micro-coring® is the right option for you. Your treatment plan is developed following clinical protocols established by Dr. Mathew Plant, ensuring appropriate patient selection, balanced tightening, and realistic expectations. You’ll receive clear guidance from the start—within a surgeon-led medical environment, not a sales-driven aesthetic setting.
Before Your Treatment
In preparation for your ellacor® treatment, our team will provide clear, easy-to-follow instructions to ensure you’re fully prepared. This may include guidance on skincare, medications, and what to expect in the days leading up to your appointment. The Lawrence Park Plastic Surgery team is always available to answer any questions, ensuring you feel confident, informed, and ready for your procedure.
Treatment
On the day of your procedure, your ellacor® treatment will be performed by one of our highly trained aesthetic professionals under medical oversight. The treatment area is carefully marked and numbed with local anesthesia to ensure comfort. Using the ellacor® device, tiny columns of skin are removed in a precise, controlled pattern to trigger natural collagen production and gradual tightening. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
Results
After your ellacor® treatment, you’ll notice gradual improvement in skin firmness and texture as collagen production increases over the following weeks. Initial redness and swelling are expected and typically resolve within several days, with micro-coring marks fading naturally over time. Final results continue to develop for up to three months, revealing smoother, firmer skin that looks natural, refreshed, and balanced—never tight or overdone.
