What Are Nonsurgical Face Procedures?
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.
How Are Nonsurgical Face Treatments Performed?
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.

Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Moradian performed an incredible job! He’s one of the sweetest and compassionate doctors/surgeons I’ve ever encountered. He made me feel incredibly comfortable and relieved, putting all my anxieties to rest. I underwent a transaxillary breast augmentation, and I’m thrilled with the results. All of my friends and family are blown away by my outcome. I have a new sense of confidence that has changed my life. While I was in my recovery room, Dr. Moradian not only took care of me but also spoke to my family and answered all their questions. He exudes a sense of safety and ensures that you receive the best possible outcomes. He took the time to personally check up on me and kindly encouraged me to reach out to him. Dr. Moradian genuinely cares about your concerns and takes the time to explain everything in detail. I am so fortunate to have found him!
Simon was phenomenal. I decided at age 16 to gauge my ears and stretched them far beyond the point of them closing on their own. I am getting married and wanted to be able to wear regular earrings for the first time in 20 years. Simon came to rescue after I was quoted waaaaay too much from another surgeon that basically wanted to cut my ears that day without letting them heal on their own and told me he could inject them with filler after they healed (like, WHAT?) Simon was so thorough and patient during our consultation and even more so during the actual procedure. He let my ears close naturally for a while to avoid removing too much tissue so they would look normal and healthy after they healed. EVERYONE is shocked (including me) that they look so good. You would never know that I had enormous holes in my ears for 20 years. 10/10 recommend for any procedure.
Dr. Schierle and his team are THE BEST!! I got breast augmentation on January 9th. It’s Perfect! Love my new look! I feel more confidence now than before. Thank you again for your best work.
Had DCF rhinoplasty with Dr. Schierle, Dr. Moradian, and Monica in Dec of 2024. Definitely THE best experience I had ! The consultation was personalized, you could tell they are some of the best surgeons in the game. I never had any surgeries, so I was very nervous. But they made the process so smooth. I loved the results so much. They kept my natural beauty and elevated the new nose to complement my face better. Even some of my close friends wanted to book a consultation with them after seeing my new nose! 100000/10 recommend!
Amazing experience with Robyn for all of my injection and skincare needs! The staff is amazing and highly skilled. The entire staff is super welcoming and warm. I always recommend to my friends and family!
