Ellacor: How Candela's Micro-Coring Technology Works and What FDA Approval Means for Your Practice
Ellacor is Candela's fractional skin-removal device using radiofrequency-powered micro-coring to ablate tissue columns. Here's what you need to know about mechanism, clearance, and clinical positioning.
Ellacor is Candela's fractional ablative device that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to create precise, millimeter-scale columns of tissue removal—a mechanism called micro-coring. Unlike traditional fractional CO₂ or erbium lasers that vaporize tissue across a treatment zone, Ellacor uses RF-heated electrodes to core out discrete cylindrical volumes of skin, leaving untreated islands of epidermis and dermis between ablated columns. This fractional pattern accelerates re-epithelialization while delivering ablative depth and precision.
