Can you really remove skin without surgery? In this episode, Brittany and Taylor sit down with nationally renowned trainer and “Ellacor Queen” Shani Caviness, PA-C to break down Ellacor Micro-Coring—the FDA-cleared treatment that’s changing the conversation around skin tightening. Learn how Ellacor removes microscopic cores of skin to improve wrinkles, sagging skin, crepey texture, and early jowling without a traditional facelift. Shani shares how she became one of the country’s leading Ellacor educators, who makes the best candidate, what recovery is really like, how she combines Ellacor with treatments like Sculptra and CO2 laser, and whether the procedure truly lives up to the hype. Thanks for watching and be sure to follow for new episodes every Tuesday!
