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
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!
Absolutely elated with my experience at Northwestern Med Spa in River North! Natasha was incredibly professional, attentive, and truly listened to my concerns and goals. She took the time to explain every step of the process, making sure I understood exactly what to expect. The results are amazing—I look refreshed and natural, and the entire process was practically painless. Natasha was extremely patient when it came to answering questions and providing education! I couldn’t be happier with my decision to go to here. Highly recommend if you're looking for a place with someone who is skilled, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about her patients! I’ll definitely be back!
Absolutely incredible experience. Dr. Simon Moradian is one of the kindest and most professional doctors I have ever had the pleasure of working with. 8 weeks ago I underwent a breast reduction and I was of course terrified. I essentially offloaded a small newborn from my chestal region, and he was there every single step of the way. Now that I have been through this process, I cannot imagine having any other doctor. I am so grateful for whatever stars aligned to connect me with Dr. Moradian and his whole entire time. From the guidance over the phone when I first called to the insurance approval, and any time I have needed support or an appointment. He and the whole staff really come through for you. They are kind, patient, and have great bedside manner. They've gone above and beyond for me more than once. They should be the standard for any experience like this. Shout out to the entire team! I am still healing and have a ways to go but I feel so supported and cared for. Any fears I had were always assuaged by the professional and knowledgeable Dr. Moradian. I have a friend who also utilized this clinic for her reduction and she spoke highly of her experience with another doctor there. Grateful every day that my search led me here! Cannot recommend highly enough.
Dr. Moradian was phenomenal before, during, and after my procedure. Before the procedure, Dr.Moradian was able to answer all of my questions and alleviated my concerns. His care and attention to detail during the procedure had me feeling confident about the future of my results. After the surgery, he set me up with a successful post-op regimen as well as followed up with me to make sure everything was healing correctly. I am only 4 months out and I have my ideal stomach. The words I can write to express to joy I feel every time I look at the results in the mirror could fill a book. Thank you Dr. Moradian
