Residents of Chicago’s western suburbs now have access to cutting-edge, noninvasive cosmetic and medical aesthetic care with the opening of SKN Institute in Elmhurst. The practice is the first in the area to offer Emface, an innovative facial treatment designed to naturally lift and tighten skin while also alleviating jaw tension and muscular stress.
Founded by Paula S. Malhotra, MD, a board-certified medical and cosmetic dermatologist, SKN Institute emphasizes personalized, holistic care focused on long-term skin wellness and anti-aging solutions.
“I founded SKN Institute to fulfill my vision of offering customized treatments that support both skin health and overall well-being,” 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 in treating medical dermatologic conditions including acne, eczema, psoriasis, skin cancer, and benign lesions. She also specializes in advanced cosmetic procedures such as injectables, laser therapies, microneedling, PRP, and other energy-based technologies.
“By continually investing in cutting-edge devices, we are able to provide safe, effective treatments that deliver natural, non-invasive results,” Malhotra added.
The Emface treatment combines synchronized radiofrequency with facial muscle stimulation to remodel skin by boosting collagen and elastin while toning underlying facial muscles. The technology enhances facial symmetry, reduces wrinkles, and lifts sagging skin—all without needles, surgery, bruising, or downtime.
In addition to Emface, SKN Institute offers Exion, a noninvasive solution that rejuvenates skin by stimulating the natural production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Exion effectively addresses wrinkles, skin laxity, and stubborn fat with minimal discomfort and downtime.
To celebrate the launch of these technologies, SKN Institute will host a complimentary launch party on Wednesday, Feb. 11, from 1:00-6:00 p.m. at 105 S. York Road, Suite 500, Elmhurst. Guests can learn about Emface and Exion, enjoy live treatment demonstrations, refreshments, and access special event-only pricing.
