skin deep

by Dr. Rebecca Fitzgerald

Q: What do you recommend for the sagging that’s going on around my mouth and jaw?

A: I hope you know how thrilled we are whenever we can offer innovative options that achieve the kind of results made for before and after photos. The Ellacor System is firmly in that category.

Ellacor relies on neither surgery nor thermal energy to remove excess skin. Yet it does actually remove excess skin. Here’s how this state-of the-art technology works: hollow needles remove micro circles of skin which immediately close to tighten the area addressed with no potential for scarring.

The ouch factor and downtime are less than one would imagine for these results. Depending on your level of treatment, you can opt for topical or injected anesthetic to maintain your comfort. Patients are averaging three days to a week of downtime form social activities, and most elect for three treatments about 30 days apart.

Contact our office for a consultation and let’s welcome back your beautiful cheeks, mouth area, and jawline.
