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.

Nonsurgical Face Procedures Reviews
I cannot say enough incredible things about Dr. Simon Moradian.I had been considering chin liposuction for at least five years, but I was honestly very scared to go through with the procedure. When I finally decided to schedule a consultation, Dr. Moradian was able to see me almost immediately—within a week—which already made a huge difference.From the moment I met him, I felt completely at ease. Even though he is clearly a very busy doctor, he never once made me feel rushed. He sat down with me, listened to all of my concerns (even the ones that felt a little irrational), and took the time to acknowledge my fears without ever making me feel silly or dismissed. He explained everything thoroughly and made sure I understood exactly what to expect.Communication was outstanding—not just from Dr. Moradian, but from his entire office. Anytime I had a question, I received a response right away. That level of attentiveness made the whole experience so much less stressful.On the day of my procedure, he went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. He allowed my friend to be present, and they talked with me throughout the process, which helped calm my nerves so much. His kindness and compassion truly stood out, and it’s obvious that he genuinely cares about his patients and wants the best for them.And most importantly—the results. I am beyond happy with my chin liposuction. The outcome exceeded my expectations, and it has helped me feel so much more confident and comfortable in my own skin—something I’ve struggled with for years.What really blew me away was that after the procedure, Dr. Moradian personally called my cell phone to check on me. That level of care is so rare and speaks volumes about the kind of doctor he is.I would absolutely recommend this procedure to anyone considering it, but more importantly, I would recommend Dr. Simon Moradian. He is incredibly skilled, knowledgeable, intentional, and deeply compassionate. You can tell he is truly passionate about helping people—and just as excited about your results as you are.I feel so grateful to have found him and feel like I only trust him with my face moving forward!
Dr. Simon Moradian is amazing! I had been considering chin liposuction for several years, but I am so happy that I finally went in for a consultation. Dr. Moradian and his team made me feel completely at ease, and they very professionally and kindly answered all my questions. I left the consultation ready to book the procedure. The procedure itself was a breeze, it took maybe an hour and half and we talked and listened to music the entire time. I left with minimal bruising and clear results day 1. The results just keep getting better, thank you Dr. Moradian!

Nonsurgical Face Procedures FAQ
How long do nonsurgical face procedures last?
Results vary depending on the treatment, with some lasting several months and others providing improvements that can continue for years with proper maintenance. Your provider can discuss expected longevity and recommend a treatment schedule that helps maintain your results.
Can nonsurgical face procedures replace a facelift?
While nonsurgical anti-aging treatments can create noticeable improvements, they cannot duplicate the results of a surgical facelift for significant skin laxity or advanced aging. They are often an excellent choice for individuals seeking subtle, natural-looking enhancement with minimal recovery.
How do I choose the right nonsurgical facial treatment?
The ideal treatment depends on your skin concerns, facial anatomy, aesthetic goals, and desired recovery time. Our team at Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery creates personalized treatment plans to help patients in Chicago, IL achieve natural-looking facial rejuvenation.
