How ellacor® Micro-Coring® Tightens Skin Without Surgery

Ellacor® micro-coring is a next-generation skin-tightening treatment designed to visibly firm and smooth loose skin without surgery, large incisions, or visible scars. By actually removing tiny columns of skin, ellacor® instantly reduces the amount of loose skin that is present. It then triggers the body’s natural healing response—stimulating collagen production and gradual tissue contraction over time. Unlike energy-based devices that rely on heat alone, ellacor® physically removes excess skin in a precise, controlled pattern, allowing for real tightening with a natural-looking result.

At Lawrence Park Plastic Surgery, our aesthetic team delivers each ellacor® treatment following protocols established by Dr. Mathew Plant, with a focus on:

  • True Skin Removal – Removes micro-cores of skin to promote visible firming and contraction.
  • Natural Collagen Stimulation – Encourages the body’s own collagen production for gradual, long-lasting improvement.
  • Scar-Minimizing Precision – Uses ultra-small micro-cores that heal naturally without stitches or visible scarring.
  • Custom-Tailored Treatment Plans – Adjusts depth, density, and treatment area based on your anatomy and skin quality.
  • Balanced, Natural Results – Tightens and refines skin without creating an overdone or surgical appearance.

With expert planning, medical oversight, and careful technique, Lawrence Park Plastic Surgery ensures that your ellacor® results look natural, refined, and aligned with your long-term aesthetic goals.

From Consultation to Smooth, Natural-looking Results

Consultation

At Lawrence Park Plastic Surgery, your ellacor® journey begins with a personalized consultation in our Toronto clinic. During this session, a member of our medical aesthetics team will assess your skin quality, degree of laxity, and aesthetic goals, and determine whether ellacor® micro-coring® is the right option for you. Your treatment plan is developed following clinical protocols established by Dr. Mathew Plant, ensuring appropriate patient selection, balanced tightening, and realistic expectations. You’ll receive clear guidance from the start—within a surgeon-led medical environment, not a sales-driven aesthetic setting.

Before Your Treatment

In preparation for your ellacor® treatment, our team will provide clear, easy-to-follow instructions to ensure you’re fully prepared. This may include guidance on skincare, medications, and what to expect in the days leading up to your appointment. The Lawrence Park Plastic Surgery team is always available to answer any questions, ensuring you feel confident, informed, and ready for your procedure.

Treatment

On the day of your procedure, your ellacor® treatment will be performed by one of our highly trained aesthetic professionals under medical oversight. The treatment area is carefully marked and numbed with local anesthesia to ensure comfort. Using the ellacor® device, tiny columns of skin are removed in a precise, controlled pattern to trigger natural collagen production and gradual tightening. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

Results

After your ellacor® treatment, you’ll notice gradual improvement in skin firmness and texture as collagen production increases over the following weeks. Initial redness and swelling are expected and typically resolve within several days, with micro-coring marks fading naturally over time. Final results continue to develop for up to three months, revealing smoother, firmer skin that looks natural, refreshed, and balanced—never tight or overdone.

My experience with Dr. Plant and his staff has been outstanding from start to finish. I attended three consultations before choosing a surgeon, and although Dr. Plant was the only one who required a consultation fee, it was well worth it. From the moment I entered the office, I felt comfortable and confident in my decision. The staff are welcoming and friendly—never intimidating, which is rare in a plastic surgery practice. Dr. Plant stood out by offering a surgical approach that minimized scarring and downtime, something no other surgeon proposed. Having spent my career in the medical field working closely with specialist physicians, I found Dr. Plant to be exceptionally personable, attentive, and thorough. He listened carefully, answered all my questions, and addressed considerations I hadn’t even thought of. I am now six weeks post-op and extremely pleased with my results. I highly recommend Dr. Plant and his practice for any type of surgery.

Starting from the consultation, Dr. Plant exceeded all of my expectations. He truly listened to my concerns and made me feel heard, respected, and completely at ease. I felt supported and informed every step of the way. On the day of the procedure, the experience was both professional and personal. I wasn’t scared at all! Dr. Plant and his incredible staff created such a calming environment. Everyone was so kind, supportive, and attentive, and I felt completely taken care of from the moment I arrived. I’m 3 weeks into recovery, and everything has gone so smoothly. I’m absolutely thrilled with the results already! I know making a decision like this can be intimidating, but Dr. Plant helped me feel confident, comfortable, and completely safe in my choice. This experience has been life changing!

I was truly amazed by Dr. Matthew Plant. He is the first doctor who actually gave me a real diagnosis . I’ve struggled with this issue my entire life, and despite undergoing multiple surgeries, no one had ever truly identified the root cause — until now. This was my third surgery, and Dr. Plant was able to correct something that others couldn’t. Not only is he a highly skilled and talented surgeon, but he is also a genuinely compassionate human being. He took the time to listen to me, to answer all my questions, and more importantly, he made me feel seen and understood. I had carried a lot of shame and felt "broken," but he reframed my situation — he treated me like an interesting challenge, and that changed everything for me. The experience as a whole was exceptional — from the elegance of his beautiful Toronto office to the warmth and professionalism of his team. Marianne, Daniela, and Alex were outstanding — always available, day or night. We even booked the surgery on a Saturday afternoon, and I had questions on a Sunday night that were answered without hesitation. They were consistently kind, attentive, and supportive throughout the entire process. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Plant and his incredible team. Even in a vulnerable and difficult situation, they manage to make you feel like you truly matter. That kind of care is rare — and deeply appreciated.

After waiting over 20 years for this kind of surgery (TT,Lipo, MR) I finally chose Dr. Mathew Plant — and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. Not only is his work meticulous, but what impressed me the most is that Dr. Plant is even more particular and detail-oriented than any patient could hope for. His high standards gave me so much confidence, and it truly shows in my results. He may not say much, but his work speaks louder than words. His entire team — from the kind and supportive nurses to the office staff who are always quick to respond — made the whole experience even more comforting. They treat patients like family, and I felt cared for every step of the way. Thank you, Dr. Plant, for your perfectionism, your quiet confidence, and for delivering results beyond what I ever imagined.

Best Surgery I’ve Ever Had! My experience with Dr Plant was amazing, absolutely Night and Day different versus my previous surgical experience. I cannot even begin to explain how satisfied I am with my results! I had been telling Dr Plant that my scar and muscles on my left side from my previous surgery had left me with discomfort and ww discussed every issue in detail, and he addressed them with different techniques/parts of his procedure to support my implant; now my breasts are perfect! I couldn’t be happier! Cannot wait to see him again for any work.

My experience was overall amazing here. Prior to finding Dr. Plant, I did 5 other consults with plastic surgeons. None of my friends had used him, so I truly went with him based on instinct and a good vibe. I am a very, very anxious and neurotic person, and I really don't think I could have picked a better surgeon. Why I picked him: I lost about 75lbs, and my chest looked horrific. Super thin crepey skin, very deflated, rocks-in-socks, sort of aesthetic. I went from a G cup to a small B. For me, I was drawn to someone who had lots of experience in "mommy makeover" surgeries. I don't have children, but my chest looked like I breastfed a litter of them. I figured if he is comfortable working on difficult post-baby bodies, that mine would be similar to work on. I am fairly scrawny, about 100 lbs on a 5'5 frame. I went into my consult with no set size in mind, but I did have a general description. I'm pretty sure I described it as "adult actress shape, but not so big that I need custom bras." I knew I would likely need a lift and the internal bra (galaflex), based on recommendations from prior consults. He agreed with this, but took the time to explain exactly why I needed them, instead of blindly telling me it was a necessity. He helped me pick a size that perfectly matched my goals. I never felt pressured to choose a certain size or shape. He had me try on similar sizes multiple times to compare subtle differences. My pre-op consult was insanely thorough. He's super easy to talk to and interact with. The staff are phenomenal and so so easy to talk to and engage with. My surgery was totally unremarkable, in the best way possible. No issues, all went smoothly, amazing staff follow up. I got a super minor infection from reacting to the dissolvable sutures, and the practice handled it immediately. It healed flawlessly with no scar. The scars from the surgery itself are impeccable. While I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Plant, it was honestly his staff that sold me on the practice, specifically Daniella. Every staff that I interacted with was amazing, but it was her who I was in the most communication with. She was the deciding factor in me getting the surgery, because she is truly that good at her job. Thank you guys, I appreciate y'all so much!

Skin Tightening with ellacor® Micro-Coring® : Your Questions, Answered

View All
What is ellacor® skin tightening?

Ellacor® is a non-surgical skin-tightening treatment that uses micro-coring technology to remove tiny columns of skin. This process stimulates natural collagen production and gradual tissue contraction, leading to visibly firmer, smoother skin over time—without large incisions or visible scars.

Is ellacor® skin tightening available for men?

Yes, ellacor® skin tightening is available for men. Treatments are customized to address areas like the jawline, neck, and face while preserving natural, masculine contours. At Lawrence Park Plastic Surgery, our team focuses on balance and proportion to deliver subtle, natural-looking results.

Am I a good candidate for ellacor®?

Ellacor® is ideal for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who want noticeable tightening without surgery. It’s well-suited for individuals in good health who prefer a non-surgical option with gradual, natural-looking results. During your consultation, our team will assess your skin quality and goals to determine whether ellacor® is right for you.

What does an ellacor® treatment feel like?

Ellacor® is performed under local anesthesia, and most patients describe the experience as very tolerable. You may feel pressure or mild pulling sensations during treatment. Afterward, some tightness, redness, and swelling are expected but typically resolve within several days.

How effective is ellacor® for skin tightening?

Ellacor® delivers visible tightening by physically removing tiny columns of skin and stimulating collagen production. Many patients see noticeable improvement in firmness, texture, and skin quality, especially in areas like the lower face, jawline, and neck.

"When will I see results from ellacor®?

Some improvement may be visible once initial swelling resolves, but results develop gradually over several weeks. Collagen production continues for up to three months, with final results becoming more apparent as the skin tightens and smooths over time.

What is recovery like after ellacor®?

Most patients experience redness, swelling, and mild bruising for several days following treatment. Tiny scabs may form at the micro-coring sites and typically resolve within 7–10 days. Most patients return to work within 5–10 days, depending on the treatment area and comfort level.

How long do ellacor® results last?

Ellacor® results are long-lasting, but natural aging continues. Many patients enjoy their results for several years and may choose maintenance treatments over time to preserve skin firmness and tone.

Is ellacor® safe?

Yes, ellacor® is FDA-cleared and considered safe when performed by trained medical professionals in a properly supervised clinical environment. At Lawrence Park Plastic Surgery, treatments are delivered by experienced aesthetic professionals following protocols established by Dr. Mathew Plant, with medical oversight to ensure safety and consistent results.

Will ellacor® make me look tight or unnatural?

No. ellacor® is designed to deliver gradual, natural-looking tightening. At Lawrence Park Plastic Surgery, treatments are carefully planned to preserve facial balance and natural expression, so results look refreshed and refined—not tight or overdone.”

How much does ellacor® skin tightening cost?

The cost of ellacor® varies based on the treatment area (such as the lower face, neck, or both), the extent of skin laxity, and the number of sessions needed. During your consultation, our team will provide a personalized treatment plan and transparent pricing based on your goals.

Can ellacor® be combined with other treatments?

Yes, ellacor® can be combined with other non-surgical or surgical treatments to enhance overall facial rejuvenation results. During your consultation, Dr. Plant’s team will recommend a customized plan that may include complementary procedures based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals.
