The aesthetic community is abuzz with excitement about an innovative technology that tightens skin and improves skin laxity, all without the need for surgery! Does it seem too good to be true? Micro-coring, as the name suggests, uses a small hollow needle to remove tiny full-thickness cores of tissue. Then, as the skin heals, it tightens up, kind of like shrink-wrapping the skin.
