Wishing you could turn back the clock without going under the knife? You are not alone — sagging skin, deep folds, and a tired-looking jawline are some of the most common concerns patients bring to us, and the good news is that you no longer need surgery to address them.
At Old Town Med Spa, the MD Brothers — Dr. Nael Gharbi and Dr. Shazel Gharbi — are among the top cosmetic providers in Chicago, with more than a decade of experience and thousands of aesthetic patients treated since 2015. Both are board-certified in Aesthetic Medicine and trained in the most advanced non-invasive and minimally invasive facial rejuvenation technologies available today.
What Is a Nonsurgical Facelift?
A nonsurgical facelift is a customized combination of minimally invasive treatments designed to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the face without scalpels, general anesthesia, or a long recovery. By using threads, radiofrequency, micro-coring, and other advanced technologies, your provider can restore youthful contours and stimulate your skin’s natural collagen production.
Benefits of a Nonsurgical Facelift
-
Visible lifting and tightening without surgery
-
Minimal downtime — most patients return to daily activities quickly
-
Natural-looking, gradual results as collagen rebuilds
-
Customizable to your unique facial anatomy and goals
-
Lower risk profile compared to traditional facelift surgery
Nonsurgical Facelift Treatments We Offer
Silhouette InstaLift
Silhouette InstaLift uses dissolvable sutures with tiny bidirectional cones to gently lift mid-face tissue and reposition sagging cheeks. It also stimulates collagen for longer-lasting volume and definition.
MINT™ Threads
MINT (Minimally Invasive Nonsurgical Thread) PDO threads are FDA-cleared barbed threads that physically lift loose skin along the jawline, cheeks, and neck while encouraging new collagen formation.
PDO NovaThreads
NovaThreads are absorbable PDO sutures used to subtly lift, smooth, and tighten the skin. They are an excellent option for patients with mild to moderate laxity who want refreshed contours without surgery.
Ellacor®
Ellacor is the first FDA-cleared micro-coring device, removing tiny columns of excess skin to reduce moderate-to-severe wrinkles — particularly around the lower face — without scarring or heat.
Renuvion
Renuvion combines helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to tighten lax skin on the face and neck. It delivers dramatic skin contraction in a single treatment with significantly less downtime than surgery.
FaceTite™
FaceTite uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis to melt unwanted fat and tighten skin from beneath the surface, sculpting the jawline, jowls, and neck for a more youthful profile.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Ideal candidates are healthy adults with mild to moderate skin laxity who want noticeable rejuvenation without surgery. During your consultation, Dr. Nael or Dr. Shazel will evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, and recommend the right combination of treatments — which may also include complementary facial treatments such as injectables, lasers, or advanced skin care.
What to Expect: Treatment and Recovery
Most nonsurgical facelift procedures are performed in-office using local anesthesia. You may experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness for a few days, but you can typically return to work and social activities quickly. Final results continue to improve over several weeks as collagen production ramps up.
