Arm tightening with PDO Thread Lift at Old Town Medspa in Chicago, IL can help you get the cosmetic lift without an invasive surgical procedure. Learn more during a consultation with our team! PDO Thread Lift, or the feather lift, is a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure to lift the sagging skin and restore a more youthful appearance. The procedure helps in contouring and rejuvenating your body with little downtime or any visible side effects. The procedure involves insertion of fine surgical sutures through absorbable polydioxanone thread into the soft skin tissue to support and lift sagging skin. PDO Thread lift is an appealing alternative to detailed cosmetic surgery for maintaining a subtle natural appearance. What is PDO Thread Lift Procedure? PDO Thread lift is a more convenient procedure to help people alleviate early signs of aging. The procedure takes about one to two hours. A member of our team inserts a very thin thread through a tiny incision at the targeted area of the skin. The thread eventually attaches itself to the deeper skin tissue. The thread is gently pulled to lift and smooth the skin. As a result, treated areas are slightly raised, eliminating sagging and providing a rejuvenated look. Benefits Of Non-Surgical Arm Tightening PDO Thread Lift can strengthen your body contour, reducing visible sagging. You should be able to see a noticeable difference in the appearance of your arms after this non-surgical arm tightening procedure with minimal scarring and downtime, and without the need for anesthesia. The procedure promotes the formation of fibrous tissue and collagen beneath the skin in the surrounding tissue, resulting in eventual skin tightening. What to Expect During the Treatment? Non-surgical arm tightening is performed as an outpatient procedure. For your comfort, a local anesthetic may be applied. After the procedure, the threads hide beneath the skin leaving invisible scarring. Your body heals naturally as the threads dissolve. The procedure can also be combined with other therapies, like injectables and laser skin treatment, to get a completely rejuvenated look. Visible results may last from six months to a year. Results will vary for each person, but a series of treatments or follow-up treatments may help you achieve and maintain your results. Am I A Candidate For The Treatment? Arm tightening helps in skin rejuvenation, skin lifting, increasing volume, and smoothing wrinkles. While most people frustrated with excess sagging skin may be able to benefit from this procedure, a consultation with our team in Chicago will help ensure this is the best treatment option for you and your goals.

• Coolsculpting

  Nothing is more irksome than stubborn pockets of body fat. Sometimes, no matter how much you work out or how healthy your diet, nothing seems able to conquer those persistent little deposits. This is where CoolSculpting comes in. Here at Old Town Med Spa, we are proud to offer this non-invasive body sculpting treatment and encourage you to learn how it may be able to help you. What is CoolSculpting? This is a body contouring treatment famous for eliminating exercise-resistant fat pockets without any kind of surgical or invasive measure. This celebrated procedure received approval from the FDA for cosmetic use in 2012 and has since become a household name. Its name comes from how it works, employing cold temperatures in a process known as “fat freezing,” or cryolipolysis. How Does It Work? Your CoolSculpting session will take place in our office. During the process, a qualified professional will move a special handheld applicator over the specified areas, sending controlled coolness through them while you rest. When the lower temperatures are applied to the local fat deposits, they effectively freeze and are absorbed by the body’s lymphatic system. You can have CoolSculpting applied to various regions: Abdomen Love handles Back Bra area Arms Banana roll (under buttocks) The duration of your CoolSculpting Chicago treatment depends on the area or areas you have treated, but it can be done on your lunch break. This process is comfortable and lets you rest; many of our patients go on their phones, take a nap, watch TV, or read. When you are done, there is no downtime; you can return to your regular routine directly after the session and wait for your results, which should emerge in anywhere from a couple of weeks to three months. Results are known to be long-lasting, with the fat cells permanently eliminated. Healthy eating and regular exercise can help maintain optimal results. Am I a Good Candidate? If you are reasonably close to your ideal weight, have exercise-resistant deposits of fat, and lead a healthy life, you are a superb candidate for CoolSculpting. It is important to maintain realistic expectations for this procedure; it is not a weight loss avenue but as a method of quashing residual pockets of fat. The best way to determine your CoolSculpting eligibility is to set up a consultation at our office. Incorrigible fat pockets can be frustrating, but CoolSculpting can help turn things around. To learn more about what this celebrated body sculpting option can do for you, reach out to make an appointment with Old Town Med Spa. At our offices in Chicago, we will be pleased to explain this option in greater detail, answer any of your questions, and help you achieve the aesthetic you desire.

• Brazilian Butt Lift

  Do you wish your butt was fuller? Are you self-conscious every time you go out wearing a bathing suit or shorts? If so, a Brazilian butt lift may be the answer for you. Using this innovative procedure, Drs. Nael Gharbi and Shazel Gharbi of Old Town Med Spa in Chicago, IL could transform the look and feel of your posterior and make it much more attractive overall. If you’re ready to feel confident and proud of your curves, contact us today to schedule a consultation and get started! What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift? A Brazilian butt lift removes excess fat from the body in order to use it to enhance the buttocks. For example, our surgeon may use fat from your waistline to increase the overall shape and volume of your backside. How Does It Work? The great thing about a Brazilian butt lift is that it takes care of two problems at once. First, you get to remove excess fat from an area where there is excess, and you can make your butt bigger and more attractive in the process. The procedure works in a series of key steps. After the patient has been made comfortable, fat can be skillfully removed from the preselected area(s). From there, the fat is purified before it is injected into various parts of the buttocks. Our surgeon can smooth out the area to ensure that there are no bulges or bumps that will affect the overall shape. Is It Safe? As long as the surgeon is well-trained in this procedure, it’s no riskier than any other kind of surgery. The reason you want a skilled doctor is to make sure that the fat is injected correctly. Overall, a Brazilian butt lift is very safe, and it can be an excellent way to reshape the curves of your body. Since you’re using your own fat, it’s a great option for those looking for natural-looking results. What Is the Recovery Process? As with any surgery, you will have to take time to heal and recover from the procedure. Usually, you will want to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks for a set amount of time afterward. What Results Can I Expect? Results vary from patient to patient based on a number of factors, such as the desired level of enhancement. However, generally speaking, the procedure results in buttocks that look shapelier and better overall while providing the added benefit of a slimmer appearance in the area where the fat was removed. Learn More Information If you’re ready to love your curves, talk to our team at Old Town Med Spa in Chicago, IL to find out if a Brazilian butt lift is right for you.

• Knee Tightening

  We all experience aging in different ways, but almost all of us have one thing in common: the signs our bodies show as we age are often unpleasant, and we wish we could turn back the clock. Certain aging remedies are fairly commonly known, such as facelifts and tummy tucks. But what about other odd problem spots, like the knees? It may come as a surprise that non-surgical knee tightening is an option for this awkward trouble spot! Learn more about this treatment during a consultation with our team at Old Town Medspa in Chicago, IL. Why Are The Knees Such A Trouble Spot? No matter how much you keep yourself toned and in shape, certain areas are prone to sagging skin that defies any attempt through exercise and healthy living to keep it at bay. While there are a plethora of non-invasive treatments for facial wrinkles, classically the knees have been a different story. This is because they are essentially one of the body’s major joints. They bend and contract constantly and consistently throughout the day. That kind of constant motion means the skin around the knees remains resistant to most creams and moisturizers when it comes to preventing sagging and wrinkles. There’s simply too much skin around the joint to be able to get rid of it with home remedies. Fortunately, surgery isn’t the only option. Non-surgical knee tightening is available through the use of threading, a minimally invasive treatment choice. What Is Non-Surgical Knee Tightening? Non-surgical knee tightening is a treatment that can be used on the knees to promote collagen growth and reduce the appearance of sagging skin. Collagen is an essential component that helps provide your skin with structure, but your body naturally produces less over time. What Materials Are Used? Non-surgical knee tightening is performed using tiny threads that are inserted under the skin to hold it in place and assist the body’s own mechanisms in tightening the surrounding area. The threads are made of materials such as polydioxanone, which is absorbed into the body within six months. How Does It Work? The threads used in non-surgical knee tightening are inserted under the skin under local anesthesia. The thread forms a mesh below the skin’s surface, which serves as a framework to reshape the skin, producing immediately noticeable results. As the threads are absorbed over the next few months, they stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen, which allows the body to reduce the appearance of sagging skin and restore your knees to a smooth, youthful appearance. Non-surgical knee tightening is a relatively painless outpatient procedure with no set downtime. It is important to have realistic goals and expectations for treatment as well as remember results will vary for each person. A consultation with our team can help ensure this is a good treatment option for you. Schedule Your Consultation Today Interested in learning more about the benefits of knee tightening?

• Neck Lift

  For many reasons including aging and significant weight loss, people find themselves with sagging skin around the jowls, chin, and neck. At Old Town Medspa in Chicago, IL, we want you to look and feel your best. Contact us if you would like to learn more about your candidacy for a neck lift or neck tightening. Neck Lift vs. Neck Tightening: What’s the Difference? A neck lift is a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure known formally as a platysmaplasty, and it involves removing excess skin and fat to smooth and slim the profile of your neck. Neck tightening treatments often use injectable treatment options that can enhance the appearance of the neck without the commitment of a surgical procedure. Sculptra Sculptra® is a popular non-invasive injectable treatment used to fill volume loss. This FDA-approved dermal filler is comprised of poly-L-lactic acid, which is a biocompatible substance that your body naturally absorbs. This unique filler stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, helping to create a fuller, smoother appearance. BOTOX Known as the Nefertiti Lift, using BOTOX® to lift and tighten your neck is a popular, non-invasive, rejuvenating anti-aging treatment method. BOTOX is a neuromodulator, meaning it alters the way nerve signals and muscles interact with each other. When injected, BOTOX prevents nerve signals from reaching muscles, preventing muscles from contracting and creating a smoother, more relaxed appearance. Ultherapy Ultherapy® is a treatment method used to tighten loose skin by utilizing ultrasound technology. The energy from the ultrasound stimulates your body’s natural collagen production process. Collagen is essential for providing your skin with structure for a smoother appearance, but production naturally decreases as you age. The production of collagen creates more gradual results, but they can create a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance. Am I a Good Candidate? Most people unhappy with the appearance of loose skin on their neck may be able to benefit from a non-surgical neck lift or neck tightening treatment option. However, it is important to have realistic goals and expectations for this treatment method. The results may be more subtle than a surgical procedure, and results are semi-permanent. A consultation with our team can help ensure this is the best treatment option for you and your goals. The best results may require a regular series of treatments to achieve and maintain. Our team can help you develop the best treatment plan for you.

• Lip Augmentation

  If you are unhappy, embarrassed or self-conscious by the way your lips look or if you feel that the appearance of your lips is distorting your self-image, lip augmentation may help you regain the natural-looking, plump lips you used to have. Old Town Medspa has the tools and expertise needed to have your lips looking the way you want them to. Learn more during your consultation with our team in Chicago! How Can I Go About Getting A Lip Augmentation? Lip augmentation can be achieved both through surgical (lip implant) and non-surgical (dermal fillers) cosmetic procedures. If you are not ready to commit to a permanent effect, lip injections with minimally invasive dermal fillers can provide semi-permanent results. Dermal filler can be injected into the lips to increase fullness, smooth lines and wrinkles, and correct any drooping of the corners of the mouth. Lip injections are safe, quick, and require no downtime. Many individuals receive lip fillers during their lunch hour and can immediately return to work after their procedure. What Sort Of Fillers Are Used? Various dermal fillers can be used in a lip augmentation. These hyaluronic acid fillers include JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, and Belotero®. Another option is through fat transfer using your own harvested fat from another area of your body. You must be aware that the result of lip enhancement done with fillers is temporary, and results will typically last from 6 to 9 months. You can maintain a full-lipped look through periodic “touch up” treatments. What About More Permanent Solutions? Permanent lip implants are made of a soft, solid silicone elastomer using an injection molding process to attain a very natural appearance. The surface is smooth and non-porous, and cannot rupture or deflate over time. Lip implants are available in a variety of sizes to achieve the precise results you are hoping to get. These implants are patented, FDA-approved, and have undergone extensive clinical testing to ensure its safety and efficacy. This procedure can be performed under local anesthesia. And, although permanent, the implant may be easily removed or switched out for another size. Normal activity may be resumed the day after the procedure. We understand how to attain stunning results from a Lip Augmentation Chicago safely and naturally. Health is key at Old Town Medspa in Chicago, IL.

• Liposuction

  Liposuction, also known as “lipo,” is a common and popular treatment for those that are unhappy with certain areas of stubborn fat cells and deposits. Learn more about this treatment during a consultation with our team at Old Town Medspa in Chicago, IL! What Is Liposuction? Liposuction is a minimally invasive treatment for areas of stubborn fat builds up on your body. This extra fat is removed through a small tube called a cannula. It is specifically targeted and suctioned from the body through this tube with safe, effective, and slimming results. This treatment is done most commonly using a tumescent technique with the help of ultrasound imaging or laser energy. It is most generally performed as an outpatient treatment using local anesthesia. Tiny incisions are made, the tube is inserted, and the fat is suctioned out. Who Is A Candidate? Not everyone is a good fit for liposuction. To qualify as a good candidate, it is recommended that you are in good overall health and have a healthy lifestyle. It is also important to have realistic expectations of this treatment. Liposuction is meant to be used as a way to help with fat deposits unresponsive to diet, exercise, and other natural weight loss methods. This is not meant for major weight loss, nor can it take the place of diet and exercise. Which Areas Can Be Treated? Liposuction can be done on many areas of the body, including but not limited to the following: Thighs Hips and buttocks Upper arms Back Abdomen and waist Chest area Inner knee Calves and ankles Cheeks, chin, and neck What Results Can I Expect? Most patients see immediate results that make them appear slimmer and more contoured. However, each patient will have different goals. These goals will be discussed at length during a consultation, and a process or timeline will be established according to those goals. For some, one treatment is all that is needed to achieve their goals. For others, one or more treatments may be necessary. The results of any treatment can be permanent; however, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Without diet and proper exercise, your body will likely fall into the state it was before your treatments. These treatments do not improve skin tone or firmness. As your body ages, you are likely to see a natural loss in firmness. If you think you are a good candidate for liposuction and would like to consider the possibilities of a slimmer, more contoured you, contact us today at Old Town Medspa in Chicago, IL for an initial consultation today.

• Non-surgical Butt Lift

  Looking for a non-surgical butt lift to achieve a perky behind without the hundreds of squats or the pains of surgery? Old Town Medspa of Chicago has a solution for you! We are now offering a subtle, non-invasive treatment to help you have the butt you have always wanted.

A non-surgical butt lift using Sculptra and RADIESSE is a fantastic way to improve the shape and lift of your buttocks while providing a modest increase in fullness. This is all achieved without the adverse effects of a surgical procedure. These fillers can also help fix other irregularities in the buttock and thigh region, such as dimpling. It is an ideal treatment for patients that do not want surgery or do not have enough fat to be harvested through liposuction. This type of non-surgical butt lift cannot achieve the same dramatic results that butt implants or fat grafting can. However, it is the perfect treatment for a patient looking for a subtle lift and a modest increase in fullness. When Can I Expect to Notice Results? Both Sculptra and RADIESSE take some time in gradually correcting volume loss. While you may experience some minor swelling following treatment, this should gradually reduce shortly after the treatment. The number of treatments required varies from patient to patient. A series of treatments, typically spread 3-6 weeks apart, may help you achieve your desired look.

Also known as a feather lift surgery, the non-surgical tummy tuck with PDO threads is a convenient, less-invasive alternative to a traditional tummy tuck. How Can A Non-Surgical Tummy Tuck with PDO Threads Help You? As our abdominal wall weakens and our skin loses elasticity, our skin can start to sag. An innovative treatment that uses polydioxanone (PDO) absorbable threads can be used to lift and smooth loose skin. PDO sutures are generally used in cardiothoracic surgeries and are one of the safest materials to be implanted in the body because they do not leave any scarring. In this procedure, the threads are inserted into the treatment sites using a small hollow needle, without the need for surgery. The threads attach to the deeper layer of skin tissues. Your body will naturally begin to dissolve the thread. Full results should be visible in about four to six months and may last for over a year. Results will vary for each person. How Do You Know If You Are A Good Candidate For This Procedure? If you are considering a tummy tuck with PDO threads, you may be a candidate if: You are looking for a subtle change.

• Vaser-Assisted Liposuction

  Are you unhappy with the appearance of stubborn bulge that is resistant to diet and exercise? Have you recently lost weight, but can’t seem to shed the last few pounds of stubborn fat? Here at Old Town Med Spa it is our goal to help each of our patients achieve their weight loss goals and become the best version of themselves. We strive to offer our patients the latest and most innovative treatments to help them look and feel radiantly beautiful from the inside out. That is why, we are proud to now offer Vaser-assisted Liposuction for helping patients achieve the smooth and toned body contour they desire, all year round. What is Vaser-Assisted Liposuction? Vaser-assisted Liposuction, also known as LipoSelection, is an alternative advancement to traditional liposuction technology. It utilizes an ultrasonic liposuction method, which effectively and gently eliminates stubborn fat cells from beneath the skin- to help patients achieve a smooth and natural body contour. Vaser ultrasonic liposuction technology is FDA-approved for a more gentle method to traditional liposuction. This innovative technology uses specialized sound waves, as opposed to manual movements, to gently loosen and liquefy fat beneath the skin, before eliminating the fat cells from the targeted treatment area. This cutting-edge liposuction remedy offers more control during treatments, and provides a more contoured appearance. How Does it Work? During Vaser liposuction, a tumescent liquid, or saline solution, combined with anesthetics, is first lightly injected into the targeted treatment area. The Vaser liposuction technique then uses ultrasound high-frequency vibrations in order to breakdown and separate the fat cells beneath the skin. Vaser ultrasonic probes are inserted into the fatty tissue, and work to gently break down the cells. The vibration is effective at gently loosening and liquefying fat, ultimately emulsifying the liquid that has been delivered to the targeted area. Once the fat cell breakdown process is activated, a small cannula is then used to gently suck the fat cells from beneath the tissue. The Vaser Liposuction method is successful at not only targeting stubborn fat more effectively, but also protects and preserves the surrounding tissue within the treatment area. This advanced liposuction process ultimately provides patients with a smoother and more natural result for a slimmer and contoured body shape. Treatment Areas Treatable areas of the body that are well suited for vaser liposuction include: Thighs Abdomen Love handles Arms Chest Neck Chin And more! With this innovative and advanced fat-eliminating remedy, you can finally diminish stubborn bulge without the need for excessive dieting and exercise.

• Jaw & Chin Augmentation

  Jaw and chin augmentation, also known as genioplasty, improves the contours of the chin, neck, and jawline. Typically, surgery involves placement of an implant around a patient’s existing chin bone to augment the size and shape of the chin and achieve a more naturally attractive balance between facial features. To learn more about jaw and chin augmentation, contact Old Town Medspa in Chicago and schedule your consultation. What Does A Chin Implant Look Like? Chin implants are small, solid devices made from a biocompatible material, usually silicone, which has been molded to fit around a patient’s chin bone. Chin implants vary in size and contour; our team will help you choose an implant that will achieve your desired degree of enhancement and provide the most natural-looking result. When inserted, chin implants feel very similar to a natural chin bone, and when performed by a qualified cosmetic surgeon, it is usually impossible to tell that a patient has had chin augmentation. How Is Jaw And Chin Augmentation Surgery Performed? Chin implant surgery is usually an outpatient procedure, performed using general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. A small incision is made either underneath the chin or inside the mouth. Through this incision, the cosmetic surgeon creates space for the chin implant and fits it around the chin bone. Chin implant surgery alone typically takes less than an hour to perform. However, if you are having additional procedures, operating time will increase accordingly. Following surgery, the incision is closed with sutures, and the chin may be bandaged. What Are Results Like? Chin implants are very strong, durable medical devices and are intended to be permanent. While the aging process will affect your facial appearance in other ways, your enhanced chin contour should not change. Results will vary for each person. It is important to have realistic goals and expectations for treatment. Most chin augmentation patients experience relatively little downtime and are back to desk work and most other daily activities within seven days after surgery. Discomfort is typically minimal and easily controlled with pain medication or cold compresses. It is important to follow our team’s specific instructions during recovery to ensure you heal well and your results look great as soon as possible. They will provide you with all the pre and post-care information you need. Who Is A Good Candidate For Jaw and Chin Augmentation? Most people looking to enhance their natural beauty and create a more balanced appearance may be able to benefit from this procedure. Potential candidates should be in good health and have normal teeth and jaw function, along with realistic goals and expectations can benefit from jaw and chin augmentation. A consultation with our team can help ensure this is the best treatment option for you and your goals. Contact us today at Old Town Medspa in Chicago to find out how chin and jaw augmentation can rejuvenate their facial structure by restoring contour to the chin.

• Facial Fat Grafting

  Volume loss in the face comes with aging. Over time, we lose healthy fat in the face, causing sagging skin and sunken features. Would you like to achieve a naturally youthful appearance, but don’t want to use cosmetic injections or undergo invasive surgery? We can help refresh and rejuvenate your appearance with facial fat grafting at Old Town Med Spa in Chicago, IL. Our cosmetic procedure can fill sunken areas and improve your facial contours. Refresh and Rejuvenate Your Appearance With Facial Fat Grafting What Is Facial Fat Grafting? Facial fat grafting is an innovative cosmetic procedure that helps you achieve supple skin and youthful facial contours. This procedure is an excellent alternative to dermal fillers and surgical facelifts. Fat grafting involves the removal of fat in problem areas and strategically injecting it in areas of the face with volume loss. Because we use your own living fat cells to perform the procedure, you can expect long-lasting, natural-looking results. There are many anti-aging benefits this procedure has to offer. Through facial fat grafting, we can smooth your wrinkles, enhance your facial contours, minimize scars, and add volume to sunken areas such as the cheeks. Benefits of the Procedure Get Natural, Long-Lasting Results When it comes to reversing volume loss in the face, fat grafting offers superior results that dermal fillers and cosmetic injectables can’t achieve. This procedure can enhance and maintain natural fullness in the eye areas, cheeks, and jawline for a much longer time. Additionally, your own fat remains soft and supple over time, making it the perfect filler for delicate areas such as the eye and mouth areas. Eliminate Facial Lines and Creases Do you want to minimize the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles, but don’t want to use injectables that inhibit facial muscle movement? If so, you’ll love the results you can achieve with facial fat grafting. We can inject fat beneath your skin and around your wrinkles to fill in the areas with scars, creases, and deep lines. With fat grafting, we can help you can achieve youthful, natural-looking skin and minimize your wrinkles without relaxing your facial muscles. Restore Facial Volume Natural collagen production slows down due to aging, and this process causes your skin to lose elasticity and volume. When your body makes less of the essential protein that supports the skin’s structure, you may notice hollow, sunken areas on your face. Fat grafting can plump up these sunken areas and restore facial volume, especially around the forehead, cheeks, and near your jawline. Nowadays, it’s no longer impossible to turn back the time and restore your youthful appearance. How Long Do the Results Last? Facial fat transfers can offer results that last for several years. And if you take good care of your skin and get maintenance treatments, your results can be permanent. However, it’s important to note that facial fat transfers cannot stop the aging process, so undergoing the procedure will not protect you against developing signs of aging in the future. To maintain your youthful looks for the long term, you must still make healthy choices and keep up with your anti-aging procedures and treatments. How Is Facial Fat Grafting Performed? Fat Extraction Fat transfers are done under anesthesia. You can expect the procedure to take less than three hours to perform. During the surgery, we harvest small amounts of fat from your trouble spots, which may include the thighs, stomach, or buttocks. We will use a local anesthetic solution on the area where fat is extracted. Once the harvest site is ready, we will use small cannulas and a syringe to extract fat through a tiny incision. Because the fat used for the procedure comes from your own body, you can expect virtually no chances of immune system rejection after the procedure. Fat Injection Next, the harvested fat is purified and strategically injected into areas of your face that need additional volume. We will inject tiny amounts of fat at a time to achieve smoother, natural-looking results. This technique makes facial fat grafting different from cosmetic procedures such as liposuction. What Makes You an Ideal Candidate for Cosmetic Surgery? Fat grafting can significantly improve your appearance and make you look years younger. To ensure your safety and satisfaction from this procedure, we only recommend fat grafting to healthy individuals who meet the following criteria: Age For safety reasons, cosmetic procedures for addressing facial volume loss are ideal for healthy individuals under the age of 60. If you are over 60 and pass our health and medical history check, you may still be eligible for the procedure. Contact Old Town Med Spa in Chicago, IL, to schedule a consultation to know whether you are physically fit for cosmetic surgery.

• Morpheus 8

  Do you suffer from skin laxity that affects your self-esteem and confidence? It’s no secret that having loose, dull skin can prevent you from feeling your best. Fortunately, you can now achieve non-surgical skin tightening and rejuvenation with Morpheus 8 at Old Town Med Spa in Chicago, IL. We can use this treatment to remodel your skin and reveal a more radiant appearance. Rejuvenate and Tighten Your Skin With Morpheus 8 What Is Morpheus 8? Morpheus 8 is a cutting-edge fractional laser device that combines radiofrequency energy and microneedling. We can use the device to sculpt or remodel fat beneath the skin. And if you wish to target superficial concerns, treatments using this laser device can help you achieve smoother, tighter skin with minimized scars and improved texture. If you’re looking for a superior cosmetic treatment that can deeply penetrate the skin to stimulate collagen production, you’ll love what our Morpheus 8 treatments have to offer. Our innovative skin tightening treatment can change your skin and address your cosmetic issues in multiple ways. The Technology Behind the Treatment Morpheus 8 treatments work by sending radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers of the skin. This mechanism stimulates collagen and elastin production, leaving you with smoother, healthier, and youthful skin. And with the addition of microneedling, Morpheus 8 treatments can reach a new depth and completely rejuvenate your appearance. Microneedling The microneedling component of the treatment creates micro-injuries in the skin that stimulates the body’s natural healing process. New skin cells are produced, while the amount of collagen and elastin compounds in the skin increase. Radiofrequency Energy In addition to rejuvenating the skin through microneedling, our treatment also transforms your appearance by transmitting radiofrequency energy to the deeper layers of the skin. This dual mechanism offers a wide variety of benefits. When radiofrequency energy is combined with microneedling, you can expect visible improvements in skin tone, firmness, and texture. We can customize the treatment to target your specific concerns and help you achieve a more radiant, youthful appearance. What Are the Benefits of the Treatment? Boost Collagen Production You can expect to achieve tighter skin after a series of treatments. Several weeks after your treatment session, the new collagen produced in your skin will continue to increase in volume. You’ll also notice a reduction in skin laxity and achieve a subtle yet visible lift in your face. If you have skin concerns like hyperpigmentation and scarring, you’ll enjoy a visible improvement in your skin tone and complexion. Target Various Areas Our skin tightening treatments are versatile and can also be performed on other areas of the body. The treatment can effectively reach deep layers of skin and tissue, helping get rid of excess fat in the neck and jaw. The most commonly treated areas that benefit from radiofrequency energy and microneedling are the lower face and neck. Minimize Wrinkles and Loose Skin Skin laxity and wrinkles come with age, but there’s a way to diminish and minimize their appearance. Radiofrequency energy uses heat to tighten the skin and shrink pores while stimulating natural collagen production. Rejuvenate and Refresh Your Appearance Do you have scar tissues or stretch marks? Radiofrequency energy and microneedling can minimize scar tissue from acne and alleviate stretch marks due to childbirth or dramatic weight change. Because the treatment stimulates new cell and collagen production, you can achieve firmer, tighter skin. What Can You Expect From the Treatment? The treatment involves using tiny needles that penetrate the skin and deliver radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers of the skin. Because this skin tightening treatment is minimally invasive, there’s no need to undergo general anesthesia or intravenous sedation. We will prepare your skin for the treatment by applying a topical numbing agent to ensure your comfort. To achieve your desired results in the least invasive manner, we will adjust the pins of the Morpheus 8 device to deliver the necessary amount of energy at the right depth. Depending on the size and location of the treatment area, you can expect your appointment to last for about one to two hours. When Will You See the Results? Radiofrequency energy can effectively reduce wrinkles and remodel collagen within a short period of time. Our minimally invasive skin tightening treatment can renew deeper layers of the skin and offer visible results that you can see in a matter of days. Nevertheless, it can take up to three weeks for significantly visible results to appear. And because collagen production occurs gradually, you can expect enhanced results up to three months after your treatment.

• Silhouette Instalift

  Fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity are the most common signs of visible aging, and while many skincare products claim to reverse these signs, the unfortunate truth is that these products are not always as effective as they promise to be. At Old Town Med Spa in Chicago, IL we believe every patient deserves to feel confident about how they look. We are pleased to offer Silhouette InstaLift, an exciting new anti-aging treatment gaining a reputation for being an affordable alternative to traditional facelifts. What Is Silhouette InstaLift? Silhouette InstaLift is a type of thread treatment that lifts and tightens lax skin for a younger-looking appearance. InstaLift is a non-surgical and minimally-invasive treatment that can be completed in as little as an hour, letting you get back to your life feeling more confident and looking more youthful immediately. Using specially formulated threads to lift sagging skin associated with aging, InstaLift produces long-lasting and natural-looking results. The primary area of treatment for InstaLift is in the mid-face, particularly around the jowls, the nose, and the mouth. This treatment is ideal for: Correcting nasolabial folds Restoring skin elasticity Smoothing fine lines and wrinkles Filling lost volume Redefining jawline and chin How Does InstaLift Treatment Work? Silhouette InstaLift Chicago is a thread treatment, which means it uses threads to hook and pull the skin into a higher, tighter position. However, unlike other thread-lift type treatments, InstaLift uses threads made with a unique formula and micro-suspension technology that utilizes microcones. In fact, InstaLift is the only absorbable thread-lift approved by the FDA for facial cosmetic treatment. The microcones are attached to the thread sutures that are placed beneath the skin during treatment, which helps grip and lift the skin. There are a few steps you can expect for your treatment. As an outpatient treatment that can easily be completed in under an hour, the treatment itself is overall very quick and painless. Some steps of treatment include: Step One: Mapping and Numbing The first step of your treatment will be mapping the areas of your face where the thread sutures will be placed beneath the skin. The mapping is done based on your consultation to achieve the desired results. Although this is a minimally-invasive treatment, we still administer a local anesthetic, usually lidocaine, to the area of treatment to ensure your comfort while the sutures are being placed. Step Two: Thread and Massage A needle is used to insert the microcone thread sutures beneath the surface of the skin. Threads are placed parallel to the skin surface and are gently pulled upward until the skin is taut. After the thread is anchored, the areas of insertion will be gently massaged to make sure the microcones are fully embedded into the sub-dermal layers of skin. What Are Your Post-Care Instructions? After your treatment is completed, you will be given a list of post-care instructions to follow over the next 24 to 72 hours. These post-care instructions will help make sure the treatment is successful, as many of the instructions are designed to make sure the thread and microcones are undisturbed during the initial recovery time. Some post-care instructions may include: Do not touch or rub the skin Avoid washing face or wearing make-up for 24 hours Do not eat chewy or hard foods that require chewing No strenuous activity, such as exercise We may provide you with additional personalized post-care instructions, such as how to use ice after your treatment or advice on foods you can eat without risk of dislodging the sutures during recovery. What Are InstaLift Benefits? There are many benefits to this treatment. For example, this treatment is ideal for patients who have mild or moderate age-related skin concerns, meaning it may be a good option for patients who are searching for a preservative and preventative treatment anti-aging. The other benefits of this treatment include: Alternative to Facelift One of the bigger draws for this treatment is the fact that it is an alternative to traditional invasive facelift surgery. Aside from being less painful than traditional facelifts, this treatment is also more affordable and easier to recover from. This treatment also has significantly fewer risk factors as it does not require the use of a general anesthetic. Stimulates Collagen Production Unlike some other tread-lift-type treatments, InstaLift also helps stimulate the production of collagen within the skin. This is because the absorbable microcone thread sutures incite the body’s natural regenerative abilities, which not only aids in healing faster but also increases the production of proteins like collagen within the skin. Collagen is known to support the structure of skin, as well as increase skin volume.

• Microdermabrasion

  Bring Out the Best in Your Skin with Microdermabrasion! Do you feel like your skin looks dull and uneven? Are you looking for a skin treatment to help improve the tone and quality of your skin? Old Town Med Spa is now offering microdermabrasion chicago treatments! What is Microdermabrasion? Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive, non-surgical skin treatment that can be used to improve mild sun damage and the overall tone and texture of the skin. Microdermabrasion uses tiny crystals to manually exfoliate the outer epidermal layer, known as the stratum corneum. This layer of skin is made up of dead skin cells and can emphasize the effects of sun damage and aging. Microdermabrasion causes less skin irritation than other exfoliating because little to no living tissue is removed during the treatment. Microdermabrasion chicago can be performed on all skin types and is safe for all skin tones. Benefits of Microdermabrasion Non-invasive No downtime Quick treatment sessions Improves skin tone and texture Reduces fine lines and wrinkles Are you interested in microdermabrasion? Schedule an appointment with Old Town Med Spa today! What’s the difference between Microdermabrasion and Dermabrasion? Dermabrasion uses a handheld device to remove the top layers of the skin. Skin is typically sensitive, red, and swollen for up to 10 days following a treatment session. Dermabrasion is a more intensive skin resurfacing treatment and requires some recovery time following a treatment. Microdermabrasion “gently sands” the skin with tiny crystals to remove the outermost layer of skin. There is no downtime associated with microdermabrasion treatments and the results are more subtle. What can Microdermabrasion treat? Microdermabrasion can improve hyperpigmentation, reduce the appearance of large pores, treat acne and reduce the appearance of scarring caused by acne, and improve the overall texture and tone of the skin. Microdermabrasion also stimulates collagen production, which helps speed up the rejuvenation process and can result in a younger looking appearance. How many treatments will I need? The number of treatments needed depends on the patient’s skin care and aesthetic goals. We typically recommend between six to ten treatments scheduled about two weeks apart for optimal results. When will I see results? Microdermabrasion treatments yield subtle results. Some patients can see visible changes after two treatments, but most begin to notice results after five treatments. Results can be maintained with regular “touch up” treatments every three months. Why should I choose Old Time Med Spa? At Old Time Med Spa, we offer cutting edge non-invasive technology and aesthetic treatments. Our team is committed to providing a welcoming and relaxing environment for all our patients and is trained to provide the best results-orientated care in the Chicago areas.

• AGNES

  Are you unhappy with the current appearance of your skin? Are you concerned a blemish is impacting the integrity of your skin? AGNES treatment may be for you! Discover the benefits of radiofrequency microneedling for skin rejuvenation during a consultation with us at Old Town Med Spa at either of our locations in Chicago, IL! What is AGNES? AGNES is cutting-edge technology available locally for clients looking for a more youthful, healthy appearance and improvement of: under eye bags, heavy or double chin, lower face heaviness, nasolabial folds, acne and blackheads, syringoma and stubborn wrinkles – even those previously treated with other methods. AGNES was developed with the highest priority for benefits experienced by the patient and consistent safety in delivering energy to the targeted area(s). How does AGNES work? AGNES uses Radio Frequency based energy deployed in square wave form to protect the tissues surrounding the treatment area.

• Stem Cell Therapy

  Are you frustrated with the impact of the natural aging process or other lifestyle factors have made on your body? Do you feel like you have lost your full range of motion or ease of mobility, and has it left you frustrated with a limited daily life? Do you worry you have tried every therapy possible, or you are hesitant to try therapies that use foreign substances? Consider a stem cell therapy! This dynamic therapy uses your own stem cells and growth factors obtained from your own body containing your own DNA to promote regeneration and healing. Learn more during a consultation with our qualified team of our medical professionals at Old Town Med Spa at either of our Chicago, IL locations in Lincoln Park or Old Town. What Is Stem Cell Therapy? Stem cell therapy is an advanced minimally invasive process to stimulate tissue growth. The process uses stem cells to promote tissue regeneration leading to improved body function. When reintroduced to the body, these cells differentiate into the surrounding cells and tissues, such as: Blood vessels Bone Cartilage Collagen Muscles Neural tissue Pulmonary and cardiac tissue Stem cell therapy is a diverse therapy, and it can be used to address a variety of conditions. Our team in Chicago is pleased to offer this therapy as a member of the Cell Surgical Network®, or CSN. CSN is the largest regenerative medical clinical research organization in the world. They are committed to providing access to regenerative medical care for many degenerative and inflammatory conditions. What Could I Expect from the therapy Process? The stem cell therapy process begins with harvesting the stem cells. They are typically harvested from body fat in a short, simple process performed under local anesthesia. The process is similar to fat removal for liposuction and is virtually painless. Stromal vascular fraction (SVF, which contains large numbers of stem cells) is surgically isolated from the harvested fat tissue. The isolated stem cells are deployed to our patients in various different ways, but specific to their condition. All deployments are done under IRB approved protocols and tracked for safety and efficacy for out to 5 years. There is little to no pain associated with therapy, and you should be able to return to your normal daily activities. Results achieved with a stem cell therapy will vary for each person, but they may take some time to enjoy as your body responds to the stem cells. A series of therapies may be recommended to achieve the best results. Am I a Good Candidate? One of the best things about choosing a personal stem cell therapy is how diverse therapy is. As it utilizes substances from your own body, it minimizes risk of infection and promotes the body responding well to therapy.

• Neograft® Hair Restoration System

  Are you discouraged by progressive hair loss? Do you experience pattern baldness or thin, frail hair and bald spots? Do you want an effective treatment that offers natural-looking results? If so, NeoGraft hair restoration may be the treatment you’ve been waiting for! At Old Town Med Spa in Chicago, IL, we’re excited to offer this long-lasting treatment to help you look and feel your best. What Is NeoGraft Hair Restoration? NeoGraft is a hair restoration treatment designed to address thinning hair and bald spots in men and women by transplanting hair follicles from one area of the scalp to another. It is able to deliver excellent results with little to no discomfort. The treatment itself is minimally invasive and does not create a scar, unlike other treatments. Recovery is quick and easy for most patients, and results begin to develop in just 3-4 months. How Does It Compare to Traditional Hair Loss Treatment? Originally, hair transplantation was accomplished by removing a strip of the scalp and harvesting follicles with a manual tool. The two edges of the scalp are closed at the back of the head, creating a distinctive linear scar. With NeoGraft, we safely and painlessly harvest individual hair follicles from the back of the scalp using a special handheld device connected to a sophisticated machine. This process preserves the scalp, avoids a scar, and allows for quicker follicle implantation. Even better, it does not thin out the hair in the source area. Your final results can develop more quickly, giving you the hair you want in a shorter amount of time. What Can I Expect? Here is a general idea of what you can look forward to when you choose to pursue hair restoration at our professional office. Consultation Before you have your first treatment, one of our doctors will examine your scalp and hair loss to determine your candidacy for treatment. They will also answer any questions you may have about treatment or expected results. Treatment To begin your treatment, your doctor will administer anesthetic to ensure your comfort during the hair follicle extraction. The follicles will be extracted one-by-one with an efficient automated handheld device. Once they are extracted, these follicles can be placed and begin to grow in their new location. You can expect to be able to return to your normal activities after your appointment thanks to this treatment’s non-invasive nature. Results Once your follicles are in place, they will shed once before beginning to grow new hair. After 3-4 months, you should see significant hair growth begin. This growth will continue naturally, creating the appearance of thicker, more healthy hair. Results are permanent for most patients. If you experience progressive hair loss which may affect the treated area, your doctor can recommend a personalized treatment plan to maintain your ideal image. Am I an Ideal Candidate? In general, adult men and women who experience hair thinning or loss could be ideal candidates for this treatment. A good candidate should be healthy and experience mild to moderate hair loss. In addition, they must have enough healthy hair follicles in the back of their head to source their new hair growth. If you are unsure about your candidacy, one of our doctors can help evaluate your unique concerns. Contact Us to Learn More! If you’re ready to say goodbye to hair loss and restore your natural, ideal image, contact our staff of professionals at Old Town Med Spa in Chicago, IL, to schedule an initial consultation today!
