What Is The Silhouette Instalift?

Silhouette Instalift is the only non-surgical rejuvenating procedure that uses advanced Micro-Suspension Technology to offer immediate and lasting results. Instalift is also the only absorbable suture that’s FDA-cleared for cosmetic facial procedures.

How does the Silhouette Instalift Work?

Silhouette Instalift immediately lifts your mid-facial skin, including sagging cheeks and deeper nasolabial folds, and boosts volume by activating your natural collagen production over time. The Instalift is a great alternative to a surgical facelift procedure that will still deliver impressive results with not as much downtime!
Silhouette Instalift FAQs
  • What should I expect Before Silhouette Instalift treatment?

    Before having a Silhouette Instalift treatment, you will meet with one of our expert providers for a comprehensive consultation to determine if the InstaLift is the best treatment for you and discuss the pre-treatment requirements.

  • What happens during an Silhouette Instalift treatment?

    Your InstaLift treatment will take less than an hour and can be done right in our medical spa. The treatment begins with having a local anesthetic injected into the tissue just beneath the skin to ease any pain or discomfort that may be associated with this treatment. Once the sutures have been inserted, your injector will position them precisely where they need to be to achieve the lift you desire.

  • What should I expect after Silhouette Instalift treatment?

    There is minimal downtime associated with the Instalift, with most side effects of treatment (ex, bruising, swelling, and tenderness at the treatment site) lasting a few days after treatment.

    After treatment, you may apply cold packs immediately after the procedure to reduce bruising and swelling, and acetaminophen may be taken in case of pain. It is important to sleep face-up in an elevated position on pillows and avoid rubbing your face aggressively when washing, shaving, and drying for 3-5 days after treatment.

    You may return to regular activity immediately after treatment but avoid participating in high-impact sports (e.g., running), facials, face-down massages, and facial aesthetic treatments for up to 4 weeks.

  • How long will results last from the InstaLift?

    You will notice immediate, natural-looking results. The bi-directional cones will keep your mid-facial skin elevated, and results will continue to improve over 6 months following treatment, with long-term results lasting up to 2 years.

  • What Makes Silhouette Instalift Different from other facial rejuvenation treatments?

    Instalift is the only non-surgical treatment that uses advanced Mico-Suspension Technology to address sagging skin and volume loss in the midface. Its innovative approach provides an immediate lift while boosting your natural collagen production.

    For people wanting a lifted, refreshed look, but are not quite ready for a surgical option, like the  QuickLift facelift, the InstaLift or PDO NovaThreads are a non-surgical alternative to gently lift sagging skin and restore facial contours for a more subtle facial rejuvenation.
