A cutting-edge wrinkle-reducing and skin-tightening treatment.

RL Center for Cosmetic Surgery and Medspa is proud to offer Ellacor Technology, a cutting-edge wrinkle-reducing, and skin-tightening treatment.

Time causes skin laxity and less collagen production, increasing the emergence of aging skin. As a result, subtle lines and wrinkles around the mouth and nose become more pronounced with age. And the deeper the lines, the harder it is to eliminate them.

This minimally invasive procedure creates a new category of cosmetic devices, employing fractional micro-coring technology to remove excess skin related to aging. In addition, it involves no incisions, sutures, or scarring.

Treatment overview

How Ellacor Works?

While other medical spa treatments utilize thermal energy or radiofrequency to prompt skin cell renewal, the Ellacor system’s micro-coring technology goes further. During a single Ellacor session, the system removes thousands of your skin’s micro-cores, encouraging your body to produce healthier tissue. In addition, the needles in the device are less than 0.5mm wide, significantly limiting the risk of scarring.

The groundbreaking technology employs uniquely designed hollow needles to remove micro-cores with precision. There is no heat, so there is no risk of thermal injuries. Once we complete the treatment, your body’s natural healing response will engage by realigning to close the cores. The outcome is enhanced skin scaffolding and natural-appearing benefits without scarring.

    I couldn't be happier with the results of my mommy makeover, and I owe it all to Dr. Lu and his amazing staff! From the moment I walked into the office, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. Dr. Lu took the time to listen to all of my concerns and desires, explaining the entire process in detail and making me feel completely at ease. The staff was always friendly, supportive, and available to answer any questions throughout the journey. The surgery itself went smoothly, and the results exceeded my expectations! My body feels like it's regained its youthful shape, and I finally have the confidence I’ve been longing for. What impresses me most is how consistent Dr. Lu's results are. I’ve seen his work on other patients, and every time, the outcomes are nothing short of incredible. He is truly a master of his craft, and it’s clear that he delivers beautiful, natural-looking results every single time. I can’t thank Dr. Lu enough for his expertise, skill, and care. If you’re considering a mommy makeover, I highly recommend Dr. Lu and his team – they truly changed my life for the better!
