Silhouette InstaLift Treatment

Silhouette InstaLift is an advanced, minimally invasive procedure designed to rejuvenate facial contours by lifting and repositioning sagging skin.

The Silhouette InstaLift treatment involves the use of biodegradable sutures with bidirectional cones to lift and reposition the subdermal layer of the skin. It’s an excellent option for those seeking a middle ground between non-invasive treatments and traditional surgical facelifts.

How Silhouette InstaLift Works:

The procedure involves inserting absorbable sutures under the skin using a fine needle. These sutures have bidirectional cones that grip the subdermal tissue, lifting and repositioning the skin for a more youthful appearance.

As the sutures and cones are absorbed by the body, they stimulate the natural production of collagen, adding volume and restoring shapeliness to the face over time.

The procedure typically takes about 45 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia. It’s suited for correcting sagging in the midface, jowls, and neck.

Post-Treatment Expectations and Care:

Patients can usually return to normal activities shortly after the procedure. The recovery period is minimal, with some possible mild swelling and bruising that typically resolves within a few days.

Results are visible and continue to improve over the following months as new collagen forms. The lifting effect typically lasts for about 18-24 months.
