Ellacor Body Skin Tightening in Scottsdale
A nonsurgical approach to loose, crepey skin
Loose or crepey skin on the body can develop with age, weight loss, pregnancy, or changes in skin quality over time. Ellacor Body uses micro-coring technology to remove tiny columns of skin without surgery, creating controlled skin removal while preserving the surrounding tissue.
At my Scottsdale practice, I personally perform Ellacor Body treatments for my patients from Paradise Valley and throughout the Phoenix area. Each treatment plan is tailored to your skin quality, the areas you want to address, and your goals for improving loose, crepey skin.
Loose, thin, or crepey skin
Skin that hasn't responded adequately to skincare or less intensive treatments
Prefer to avoid surgery
Looking for meaningful improvement without surgical excision
Is Ellacor Body Right For You?
Skin laxity after weight loss
Mild to moderate laxity after changes in weight or body composition
Realistic treatment goals
Seeking improvement rather than surgical-level removal of excess skin
When Ellacor may not be enough
Significant excess or hanging skin may be better addressed surgically. Dr. Jeffy will tell you when another approach is more likely to achieve your goals.
How Ellacor Body Works
Ellacor uses hollow microcoring needles to remove microscopic columns of skin in a controlled pattern. Unlike treatments that rely primarily on heat to stimulate collagen, Ellacor physically removes a small percentage of skin during treatment.
01 — MICROCORES ARE CREATED
Tiny columns of skin are precisely removed without surgical incisions.
02 — THE SKIN HEALS
The microcores close as the surrounding tissue begins its natural healing and remodeling process.
03 — SKIN REMODELS
New collagen formation and controlled skin removal lead to progressive improvement in skin quality and laxity.

About Ellacor Body Skin Tightening
-
Ellacor® Body uses micro-coring technology to physically remove tiny columns of skin. Unlike lasers, radiofrequency, or ultrasound treatments, it does not rely on heat to treat the skin.
During your consultation, I’ll assess whether Ellacor, CO₂ laser resurfacing, or another approach best fits your skin concerns, recovery preferences, and goals.
-
Ellacor® Body can be used to address loose, crepey skin in selected areas, including:
Abdomen
Upper arms
Thighs
Around the knees
Buttocks
I evaluate your skin quality, degree of laxity, and treatment goals to determine which areas are appropriate for treatment and whether Ellacor is the best option for you.
-
Initial healing typically takes 3–5 days, followed by redness or changes in skin pigmentation that may remain visible for several weeks. Recovery varies depending on the area treated and your individual healing response.
I’ll provide personalized aftercare instructions and explain what to expect before treatment.
-
Results develop gradually as the treated skin heals and remodels. Improvement may become noticeable within several weeks and continue over the following months. The timeline and degree of improvement vary by treatment area and individual response.
We’ll assess your progress at follow-up visits and discuss whether additional treatment would be helpful.
A series of treatments may be recommended for optimal results.
-
Ellacor® Body is intended to improve the appearance of loose, crepey skin in selected treatment areas. The degree of improvement varies with your skin quality, the amount of laxity, and the area treated. Multiple sessions may be recommended.
The goal is improvement rather than surgical-level removal of excess skin. During your consultation, I’ll explain what is realistic for your body and whether another treatment would better meet your goals.
-
Ellacor Body may be an option for selected areas of mild to moderate skin laxity, but it does not provide the same degree of skin removal as surgery. Significant loose or hanging skin may be better addressed with a surgical procedure.
During your consultation, I’ll explain whether Ellacor is appropriate or whether a surgical consultation would better support your goals.
-
Ellacor Body starts at $4,000 for an initial treatment of one body area. Pricing depends on the size and number of areas treated. You’ll receive a personalized quote before treatment.
-
As a board-certified dermatologist, I personally perform every Ellacor treatment at my Scottsdale practice, serving patients from Paradise Valley and throughout the Phoenix area. I evaluate your skin, explain what Ellacor can realistically achieve, and tailor your treatment plan to your goals. You’ll work directly with me throughout treatment and follow-up care.
