Aging skin often develops laxity, deeper folds, and excess tissue around the jawline and cheeks. While surgical facelifts were once the only option for addressing these concerns, modern dermatology now offers advanced alternatives.
Micro-Coring Skin Tightening using Cytrellis Ellacor is an advanced technology that physically removes tiny columns of excess skin to improve laxity and refine facial contours without surgery.
For patients seeking excess skin removal or a non-surgical jowl lift, Ellacor provides this science-driven Micro-Coring technology combined with Dr. Khuzama’s refined aesthetic expertise.
What is the Ellacor procedure?
Cytrellis Ellacor uses a patented Micro-Coring technology to physically remove tiny columns of skin called micro-cores using specially designed hollow needles. Unlike lasers that heat tissue or injectables that add volume, Ellacor removes skin tissue to tighten and smooth the treated area.
What can Ellacor treat?
Ellacor is specifically indicated for moderate to severe wrinkles in the mid and lower face. Dr. Khuzama uses it to address:
- Jowl laxity – a non-surgical jowl lift without incisions
- Nasolabial folds (smile and laugh lines)
- Cheek skin laxity and age-related volume redistribution
- Upper lip lines (perioral wrinkles)
- Chin wrinkles and submental skin laxity
- General mid-face skin thinning and textural irregularities
How does Ellacor Micro-Coring work?
The science behind Cytrellis Ellacor is elegantly simple yet powerfully effective:
- Step 1 Precision mapping: Your provider strategically maps the treatment zones across the mid and lower face, areas like jowls, cheeks, nasolabial folds, upper lip lines, and chin.
- Step 2 Local anesthesia: A topical or local anesthetic is applied to ensure your comfort throughout the session.
- Step 3 Micro-coring: The Ellacor device is pressed against the skin in a precise grid pattern. Its hollow needles penetrate and extract tiny micro-cores of excess skin without cutting, burning, or damaging surrounding tissue.
- Step 4 Natural healing: Because the cores are microscopic, the skin begins closing almost immediately. No stitches. Minimal downtime. And healing occurs naturally without visible scarring.
Who is an ideal candidate for Micro-Coring Skin Tightening?
You may be an ideal candidate for Ellacor Micro-Coring if you:
- Have moderate to severe wrinkles in the mid or lower face
- Are bothered by jowling, sagging cheeks, or perioral lines
- Want natural-looking, visible results without surgery
- Are looking for a non-surgical jowl lift alternative
- Have Fitzpatrick skin types I–IV
- Are aged 22 years or older
A consultation with Dr. Khuzama will determine whether Micro-Coring Skin Tightening is the best option for your skin goals.

Ellacor in expert hands: Dr. Khuzama Al Falah
Delivering exceptional Ellacor results demands more than device access; it requires surgical precision, deep anatomical knowledge, and genuine aesthetic artistry.
While many treatments rely on heat or energy, Ellacor offers a mechanical solution for skin removal. Dr. Khuzama’s dedicated fellowship in Laser and Cosmetic Dermatology means she understands exactly how skin responds to device-based treatments, including how to minimize side effects, optimize healing, and push results further than a generalist provider ever could.
Dr. Khuzama is recognized for her multi-modality philosophy, strategically pairing Ellacor Micro-Coring with dermal fillers, neuromodulators, and laser therapies to address skin laxity, volume loss, and texture simultaneously.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Ellacor micro coring cost?
The cost of Ellacor treatment varies depending on the treatment area and number of sessions required. A personalized consultation with Dr. Khuzama will determine the best plan and provide an accurate treatment estimate.
How long does Ellacor treatment last?
Results typically develop gradually as the skin heals and tightens. Many patients experience long-lasting improvements in skin laxity and texture that can last several years.
Is Ellacor better than Morpheus8?
Both treatments address aging skin but work differently. Morpheus8 uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen, while Cytrellis Ellacor physically removes excess skin through Micro-Coring Skin tightening, making it particularly effective for visible skin laxity.
What is micro coring with Ellacor?
Micro coring with Ellacor is a minimally invasive technique that removes microscopic columns of skin using hollow needles. This scarless skin removal process stimulates skin tightening and collagen remodeling while improving wrinkles and sagging skin.
