Elmhurst residents now have access to state-of-the-art cosmetic and medical aesthetic care with the opening of SKN Institute, the first practice in the western Chicago suburbs to offer Emface, an innovative, noninvasive facial treatment designed to naturally lift and tighten skin while alleviating jaw tension and muscular stress.
Emface combines targeted heat and muscle activation to reduce wrinkles, tighten sagging skin, and stimulate collagen production. The FDA-cleared treatment is also effective for managing TMJ dysfunction, offering patients both aesthetic and therapeutic benefits without needles, surgery, or downtime.
Founded by Dr. Paula S. Malhotra, a board-certified medical and cosmetic dermatologist, SKN Institute emphasizes personalized care focused on holistic anti-aging and long-term skin wellness.
“I founded SKN Institute to fulfill my vision of providing customized treatments that support both skin health and overall well-being,” Dr. Malhotra said. “Our goal is to deliver natural-looking results using the most advanced, solution-based technologies available.”
Dr. Malhotra, recognized as a Chicago Magazine Top Doctor for three consecutive years, brings extensive experience treating medical dermatologic conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, skin cancer, and benign lesions. She also specializes in advanced cosmetic procedures, including injectables, laser therapies, microneedling, PRP, and other energy-based technologies.
“By continually investing in cutting-edge devices, we can offer our patients safe, effective treatments with natural, noninvasive results,” Dr. Malhotra added.
In addition to Emface, SKN Institute offers Exion, a noninvasive technology that rejuvenates skin by stimulating natural collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production. Exion addresses wrinkles, skin laxity, and stubborn fat, with minimal discomfort and downtime.
To celebrate the launch of these advanced technologies, SKN Institute will host a complimentary launch event on Wednesday, Feb. 11, from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m. at 105 S. York Road, Suite 500, Elmhurst. Attendees can learn about Emface and Exion, view live demonstrations, enjoy refreshments, and access special event-only pricing.
