Micro-Coring Technology

Mechanical removal of microscopic skin cores with hollow needles.

Micro-Coring removes small columns of tissue instead of only puncturing the skin. The approach combines physical tissue removal with the skin’s healing response. It is distinct from conventional microneedling and from heat-based resurfacing.

How coring works

The hollow needle separates a tiny tissue core; suction supports removal and collection. This animation from the MICOR introduction video illustrates the mechanism, not a clinical result.

Patient selection and recovery

The physician assesses wrinkles, laxity, skin condition, medical history and goals. Treatment areas, parameters, sessions and aftercare must follow the current device instructions. Recovery and results vary; redness, swelling, bruising, bleeding, infection, pigment changes and scarring are possible. Active infection, poor wound healing and a tendency to keloids require particular evaluation.
