Answer Snippet
What reasons would fat be added just to the upper face? Can this still look natural?
Fat Transfer To The Face
Nov 13, 2023
Dear mumay1,It can absolutely look natural! Fat grafting to the face is one of my favorite procedures for natural revolumization. I’ve been performing this in my practice for over 20 years. After weight loss, or aging, skin appears loose and saggy due to volume loss in the area. Strategically adding fat back into the upper face will help lift the skin and reduce the “gaunt” appearance which happens after significant weight loss or aging. Additionally, revolumizing the upper face decre…
Am I a candidate for Ellacor or Facetite?
Facetite & Ellacor
Oct 11, 2023
Dear Moba81923, Based on the It is hard to tell if someone is a candidate without a physical examination. However, I can tell you that Ellacor is one of the only minimally invasive modalities for skin tightening that is safe on all skin types and for patients with melasma because it does not use heat. Most technologies for tightening the skin are energy based and use radiofrequency heat. This unfortunately is a contraindication for darker skin tones because of the risk of hyperpigmentation….
Can I get Ellacor if I once had shingles (herpes zoster)?
A History Of Shingles & Ellacor
Oct 11, 2023
Dear RealSelf Admin,Yes, it is completely safe to have Ellacor if you have a history of herpes simplex or herpes zoster (shingles). If you have an active outbreak in the treatment area, you would likely be advised to wait until it has passed. What you’re reading about is due to Ellacor, like all cosmetic treatments (even injectables), having the potential to aggravate the herpes simplex virus and cause an outbreak. At my practice, we preventatively prescribe Valtrex for our patients who h…
Is Ellacor like Plasma Pen? Will it lead me to have scabs on my face for a week?
Ellacor Is Not Similar to Plasma Pen
Oct 11, 2023
Dear Caring1876,
The mechanism in which the plasma pen works in comparison to Ellacor is completely different. Ellacor using micro-coring technology which basically extracts small columns on your skin, as your skin heals, there is a tightening effect. Every person responds differently to treatments and it is impossible to predict exactly how someone will heal from a treatment. It is very unlikely that you will not have scabs similar to those from the plasma pen. However, there will be tiny…
Fine lines and crepiness under eye area. Which treatment is most effective?
Undereye Rejuvenation
Aug 31, 2023
Dear HappyDaneSana,Thank you for providing a photo. There are quite a few procedures that you could try to help tighten the skin and improve the overall texture under your eyes. Which procedure is best depends on your lifestyle and the amount of downtime you are up for. The non-surgical treatment which would provide the greatest improvement would be a CO2 laser. However, this fully ablative laser does come with some downtime (7-10 days) and does tend to give your skin a pink hue for anywhere…
