What Is Ellacor?

As a natural part of aging, our skin begins to lose its elasticity, causing wrinkles to appear all across the face. Now, thanks to the revolutionary Ellacor system with Micro-Coring® technology, Dr. Paul K. Holden can reduce the appearance of moderate to severe facial wrinkles on the cheeks, chin, and nasolabial folds. Through the use of tiny needles that remove "micro-cores" or tiny pieces of skin, Ellacor is a nonsurgical skin tightening alternative to a facelift, cosmetic injectables, and microneedling. To achieve a smoother, younger-looking complexion, we invite you to schedule a consult at Scottsdale Plastic Surgeons in Scottsdale, AZ today.

How Does Ellacor Work?

During your skin rejuvenation treatment with Ellacor, you will sit back in one of our private treatment rooms at our Scottsdale, AZ office. Dr. Holden will administer local anesthesia before the treatment begins to help keep you comfortable. He will then apply the micro-coring device to your treatment area. Ellacor works by using small needles to extract tiny pieces of skin, which stimulates the body's natural healing abilities. As a result, you should notice firmer skin and a reduction in wrinkles. Unlike other laser-based and radiofrequency treatments, Ellacor does not utilize any heat.

Rhinoplasty - Scottsdale, AZ - I couldn't be happier with my new nose.I hated my nose for as long as I can remember, when I looked in the mirror or at pictures of myself that's all I saw. The first time I met with Dr.Holden he pin pointed my exact issues with my nose with out my having to tell him. He was very kind and patient and answered all of my questions. While talking to him it was obvious he knew what he was talking about and was an expert in his field. I felt so comfortable and confident with him that I canceled my other consultes (with another surgon I used in the past) and scheduled by surgery for the next week. Dr.Holden also saw me at every one of my follow up appointments, not some nurse, which was very important to me and helped with my post surgery anxiety. With being 34 years old and a mother of 3 it was very important to me for my new nose to look natural. It does. I am thrilled when I look in the mirror and the people close to me have all remarked how wonderful it looks. While people that I haven't shared my surgery haven't noticed or at least not enough to say "oh my gosh you got a nose job!" I still look like me. :)

Dr Holden is Amazing. Definitely Book a Consultation. - Dr Holden preformed my rhinoplasty and is now one of my favorite people. He is truly a caring, compassionate and extremely talented physician. I have medical background and within minutes of meeting Dr Holden, could tell how incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable he is. The day of my surgery I was very nervous and he literally held my hand and talked everything through with me. My nose has turned out so beautifully and I will definitely post pictures when my swelling subsides a bit. I could not be happier!

If you are looking for the best, look no further!  I came upon Dr. Paul Holden by word of mouth from a past patient.  The idea of finding a facial plastic surgeon through an online search alone was daunting and I am incredibly grateful for this referral.  I give Dr. Paul Holden and his staff a 10/10 (and I am a tough critic!).  Everyone in the office and operating room was supportive, available to answer any and all questions, put my mind at ease and made me feel confident in my decision to move forward with an elective surgery.  Might I add, I did my consultation via phone and did not meet Dr. Holden until the day of surgery. The downtime involved as compared the  result that I received made it completely worthwhile.  I am just two weeks post-op and could not possibly be any happier with the entire experience.  I had an in person consultation with another surgeon who told me to come see him in 10 years for the procedure.  Why would I want to spend my 40’s not looking the best I could?  Dr. Holden is kind, intelligent, personable and a very talented surgeon.  He is well respected and admired by his staff.  A testament to the type of person Dr. Holden is:Three days after my surgery my five year old son had an accident and required stitches on his face and inside his mouth.  I went out on a limb and called the office to see if he could stitch he him up rather than going to the ER.  One hour later I was in his office getting my little guy all fixed up.  He was booked with back to back appointments yet he spent nearly an hour stitching my son’s face up perfectly. Two weeks later he has only a light pink scar.  I can’t imagine what the result may have been had I gone to the emergency room.

How long do results from Ellacor last?
