Ellacor Micro-Coring for Wound Care
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial explores how different skin care products aid recovery after using Ellacor® Micro-coring®, a treatment for moderate to severe facial wrinkles. Participants will follow one of five skin care routines, each using a combination of products like creams and bandages, to determine which is most effective. Ideal candidates have noticeable wrinkles on their mid and lower face and have not undergone recent facial surgeries or treatments. As an unphased trial, this study allows participants to contribute to innovative skin care research and identify the most effective post-treatment routine.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but you cannot participate if you are on high doses of blood thinners or certain other treatments like chemotherapy or high-dose corticosteroids. It's best to discuss your specific medications with the trial team.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research has shown that the Ellacor Micro-Coring procedure is safe when used correctly. Studies have found it is well-tolerated on skin at levels up to 10% density and a depth of up to 4mm. This indicates that, when applied properly, the procedure is unlikely to cause harm. However, it should not be used on skin with conditions like tumors or keloids, as it may not be safe in those cases.
For the specific post-care products tested with Ellacor, direct safety data is not available. However, the trial's "Not Applicable" phase suggests these skincare products are likely considered low-risk, as they focus on recovery after the main procedure rather than introducing new, untested treatments.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the Ellacor® Micro-coring® technique for wound care because it offers a novel approach to skin regeneration. Unlike traditional wound care treatments that often rely on topical applications to promote healing, this technique physically removes tiny columns of skin to stimulate natural healing processes. This method could potentially lead to faster recovery times and improved skin texture as the skin regenerates. Additionally, combining this innovative technique with products like Regenerating Skin Nectar or Ariessence PDGF solution might enhance the healing process, offering new hope for more effective wound care.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for wound care?
Research shows that Ellacor Micro-coring can enhance skin appearance. One study found that 91% of participants experienced improvement in moderate to severe wrinkles within six months. This method uses tiny needles to remove small bits of skin, tightening and smoothing the skin. Many notice changes after just one treatment, and their skin feels refreshed and rejuvenated after several sessions. These findings suggest that Ellacor Micro-coring effectively improves skin texture and reduces wrinkles.
In this trial, participants will receive various post-procedure treatments to assess their effectiveness in wound care. These treatments include Regenerating Skin Nectar with Tegaderm, Ariessence PDGF solution with Kerra+ Recovery Cream and Tegaderm, Tegaderm only, Kerra+ Recovery Cream with Tegaderm, and Ariessence PDGF solution with Alastin and Tegaderm.36789Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

Treatment groups
Active Control
Alastin to be applied post procedure followed up Tegaderm. Tegaderm will be left on for 12 hours. Alastin will be applied twice daily for the duration of the study
Patients will receive PDGF immediately post procedure followed by Kerra+ followed by Tegaderm. The Tegaderm will be removed after 12 hours and the Kerra+ will continue to be applied twice daily for the duration of the study
Patient will only receive Tegaderm for post-care
Patients will receive Kerra+ post procedure followed by Tegaderm. The Tegaderm is removed after 12 hours. Kerra+ will be applied twice daily for the duration of the study.
Patients will receive PDGF immediately post procedure followed by Alastin followed by Tegaderm. The Tegaderm will be removed after 12 hours and the Alastin will continue to be applied twice daily for the duration of the study
