Skin laxity in the lower face and neck is one of the most common concerns patients bring to aesthetic practices. While surgical facelifts have long been considered the gold standard, newer non-surgical technologies are changing the landscape.
Q&A with Dr. Weiss
Q: Dr. Weiss, can you explain how Ellacor works to improve skin laxity?
Dr. Weiss:
Typically, I remove about 7% of the skin in the treatment area, most often the lower face. This helps reduce excess skin and improve overall laxity.
Q: How does that compare to a traditional facelift?
Dr. Weiss:
With a facelift, you’re usually removing upwards of 20% of the skin. With Ellacor, my settings are typically around 7% per session. I often recommend doing the treatment twice, so after two sessions, we’ve effectively removed about 14% of the skin in that area.
Q: What about healing and scarring?
Dr. Weiss:
One of the biggest advantages is how quickly the skin heals. The micro-cores close up very fast and without scarring. Unlike a facelift, you won’t have visible scars, especially around the ears, which is a common concern with surgical procedures.
Q: Are you combining Ellacor with any other treatments?
Dr. Weiss:
Yes, I’ve been using exosomes alongside Ellacor, and I really like the results. It seems to enhance healing and improve overall outcomes.
Q: What kind of feedback are you hearing from patients?
Dr. Weiss:
Patients are extremely happy. It’s been very well received, especially by those who want noticeable improvement without undergoing surgery.
Q: Who is the ideal candidate for Ellacor?
Dr. Weiss:
If you’re looking for an alternative to surgery to address jowls or skin laxity in the lower face and neck, Ellacor is definitely something to consider.
A New Era in Non-Surgical Skin Tightening
Ellacor is quickly emerging as a powerful option for patients seeking meaningful skin tightening without the downtime or scarring associated with surgery. Removing small portions of excess skin in a controlled way offers a unique approach that bridges the gap between non-invasive treatments and traditional facelifts.
If you’re exploring ways to rejuvenate your appearance while avoiding surgery, Ellacor may be the solution you’ve been waiting for.
