In this video, Dr. David Rapaport, board-certified plastic surgeon with over 30 years of experience and founder and medical director of Aethos New York, explains how Ellacor works — and which patients may benefit most from this newer approach to skin tightening and lower face rejuvenation.
Dr. Rapaport discusses how Ellacor differs from traditional lasers and energy-based treatments by using micro-coring technology to physically remove tiny columns of skin without creating visible linear scars. The goal is to improve skin laxity, wrinkling, and texture, particularly in the lower face and jawline.
In this discussion, he explains:
* What Ellacor micro-coring actually is
* How the treatment improves mild-to-moderate skin laxity
* Why it can help refine the lower face, jawline, and wrinkles
* Which patients are good candidates — especially those who are not yet ready or interested in surgery
* Why realistic expectations are important when choosing minimally invasive treatments
Dr. Rapaport emphasizes that while Ellacor can create meaningful improvement in the right patient, it is not a replacement for a surgical facelift in cases of significant jowling or neck laxity. Instead, it occupies an important middle ground between skincare and surgery.
This video provides a clear, honest explanation of where Ellacor fits in modern facial rejuvenation — and who is most likely to benefit from it.
