Nonsurgical Face Procedures in Chicago, IL

Plastic surgery can be an effective way to achieve a younger, refreshed appearance, but it isn't the only anti-aging option we offer at Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery. For those who are interested in lasting facial rejuvenation without surgery, our Chicago, IL offices provide a number of minimally invasive treatments, each one designed to target wrinkles and sagging around the face and neck. Our nonsurgical face procedures include:

  • Ellacor®: This revolutionary micro-coring™ treatment provides firmer skin and a reduced appearance of lines and wrinkles by using needles to extract micro-cores of skin. Not only can Ellacor help eliminate excess skin that leads to sagging, but it also promotes collagen growth to provide lasting results with no scarring.
  • MyEllevate®: This technology targets the neck and lower jaw, smoothing away signs of aging with its ICLED® permanent suture system. MyEllevate can achieve similar results as a surgical neck lift but without the scarring and recovery time that come with it.
  • FaceTite: You may have heard of BodyTite, a form of radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL) that tightens skin while melting away leftover fat. FaceTite works the same way, targeting sagging skin and facial fat for a leaner, contoured look.

In addition to these innovative facial rejuvenation treatments, Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery is also excited to offer wrinkle relaxers, dermal fillers, and other popular nonsurgical options to complement your results. Reach out to our practice today to learn more about each of our treatments, and start building your personalized program today.

The finer details of your face treatment at our Chicago, IL office will depend on which method we select during your private consultation, but the overall experience is similar for all FaceTite, Ellacor, and MyEllevate. First, we'll numb your skin using a local anesthetic and/or a nerve blocker. For Ellacor treatments, we pass the handpiece over your skin as it creates channels and removes tiny pieces of tissue to promote healing. FaceTite procedures involve gently inserting a probe under the skin where it will emit RF energy to liquefy fat and stimulate regrowth. MyEllevate treatments are performed with a special pen to create small punctures in the neck and chin, which are stitched together to lift the skin. Thanks to the anesthetic, you should feel little to no discomfort — only a bit of pressure or tugging.

Depending on your desired look, we can pair your nonsurgical facial procedure with some of our other cosmetic treatments for a more thorough transformation. During your consultation, we'll discuss some of these other options, which may include dermal fillers, wrinkle relaxers, chin liposuction, and more.

At Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery, we understand that not everyone is ready to go under the knife to achieve their aesthetic goals. Nonsurgical face enhancement at our Chicago, IL offices can provide a variety of benefits for men and women, including:

  • Little to no downtime after your procedure
  • Scarring is minimal and discreet
  • Removes unwanted fat for a leaner appearance
  • Contours the face and jaw to create a more striking profile
  • Reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging
  • Corrects sagging caused by age and weight loss

When my daughter broke her nose in a high school sports accident, she was referred to a local ENT for surgery immediately. I wanted to make sure a plastic surgeon performed the surgery and spent hours trying to find a surgeon who would treat her. I knew that this was a very time sensitive injury that needed to be treated ASAP. Barb on Dr. Moradian’s team scheduled a consult with him very quickly and patiently answered all of the (many) questions I had. I was absolutely amazed that Dr. Moradian was able to schedule surgery the day following our consult. My daughter’s prom was one week after her surgery and Dr. Moradian was determined that she would be able to go and look like herself. No one could tell, one week later, than she had surgery, and she had a wonderful time!Dr. Moradian and everyone on his team were friendly, caring and empathic. They made us feel confident and comfortable with the procedure. I was also impressed with the follow-up check-ins and responsiveness when we’ve had questions after the procedure. He’s been very responsive and helpful. I feel like we hit the jackpot and couldn’t have found a better surgeon! Thank you, Dr. Moradian, for everything!

Dr. Fine, his team, and all the staff at NSPS are just the best! Having to go thru a crap situation (mastectomy) I trust his process and feel at ease at every appointment/procedure. I am so thankful to be going through this with them and highly recommend. I will actually miss going to NSPS when the reconstruction process is fully complete.

I went to Dr. Schierle to address my gynecomastia - which had been a lifelong issue that suddenly gone from being a purely cosmetic flaw to a much bigger overall health issue for me over the course of a year or so. The first green flag for me was this office was the first plastic surgery practice that was willing to listen to my concerns and try billing my insurance for the surgery (coverage for the procedure was approved).Dr. Schierle himself made the entire process as positive as possible. I felt that he truly listened to me, asked thoughtful questions about my goals for the surgery, was frank and open about every aspect of my procedure and what I could realistically expect, and never once made me feel judged or uncomfortable.The team and office staff have been incredible to work with. I’ve always been able to reach someone if I had a question or concern during recovery. I never have a problem getting into the office when I’ve needed to.I knew that I had made the best decision in choosing a surgeon during my second post-surgery checkup, when Dr. Schierle recommended I hold off on any scar revision treatments for at least a year. To me, this just demonstrated further that he is actually invested in his patients’ success and not just out to milk people for as much money as he can.I’m really grateful to Dr. Schierle and his team for making what was an incredibly stressful and scary ordeal into a much more manageable process. Can’t recommend them enough.

Dr Fine was realistic when discussing cosmetic results. He was straightforward and provided several options. He also was honest with what he thought was the best way to proceed and very clear on what not to expect.

I will continually recommend and refer my friends and family to Northwestern Plastics. I underwent a breast augmentation yesterday and feel great! My pre-operative experience was nothing but detailed, understood, and all my concerns and questions were answered by Dr. Moradian and his amazing PA, Monika. I will speak highly of the faculty because you are always warmly greeted by the front desk and Kendall makes your logistical arrangements seamless!During the day of my procedure, I felt ZERO anxiety and the experience was very pleasant and passionate from all the nurses and the anesthesiologist. Prior to going into the OR, Dr. Moradian came into the room to greet me and mark me up - this was indicative of how passionate he was because he asked me if I had any last minute questions and concerns. Another small but impactful statement he said was “I’ve studied your aesthetic wants/inspirational pictures of what you would want and know exactly what to do”. This shows me compassion, the drive to make me feel heard, to how much thought and detail he has put into this artistry.Overall, I am extremely happy and when I am healed - I will update my pictures! I am excited for my recovery journey. They are perfect already.
