INSTALIFT®

As we age, the natural support structures of the face begin to weaken, causing skin to lose elasticity and youthful definition. This can lead to sagging cheeks, jowls, deep folds and a tired appearance. Silhouette InstaLift is a minimally invasive, non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatment designed to lift sagging skin while stimulating your body's natural collagen production for long-lasting improvement.

Unlike traditional facelift surgery, Silhouette InstaLift offers immediate lifting results with minimal downtime, helping patients achieve a naturally refreshed appearance without extensive recovery.

What is Silhouette InstaLift?

Silhouette InstaLift is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical thread lift treatment that uses absorbable sutures with tiny bi-directional cones to reposition and lift the deeper layers of facial tissue. Once placed beneath the skin, the sutures create an immediate lifting effect while stimulating collagen production over time. The treatment addresses age-related facial sagging and helps restore youthful contours in key areas of the face.

How does Silhouette InstaLift work?

Silhouette InstaLift works through a two-fold approach:

Immediate lift specialized absorbable sutures are strategically placed beneath the skin to gently elevate sagging tissue and restore youthful facial contours.

Long-term collagen stimulation

The sutures are made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible material that encourages the body's natural collagen production. As collagen develops, skin appears firmer, smoother and more youthful even after the sutures have been absorbed.

This combination of instant lifting and gradual skin rejuvenation makes Silhouette InstaLift a popular alternative to facial surgery for appropriate candidates.

Who is a good candidate for Silhouette InstaLift?

 You may be a candidate for Silhouette InstaLift if you:

• Have mild to moderate facial sagging
• Notice early signs of aging in the cheeks or jawline
• Want facial lifting without surgery
• Are not ready for a traditional facelift
• Desire natural-looking results
• Have realistic expectations for treatment outcomes

A consultation with an experienced aesthetic provider can determine whether Silhouette InstaLift is the right option for your facial rejuvenation goals.

What to expect during your Silhouette InstaLift procedure

Silhouette InstaLift is typically performed in less than an hour in a comfortable outpatient setting.

During treatment:

• Your provider will evaluate your facial structure and treatment goals.
• Local anesthesia is administered for comfort.
• The absorbable sutures are carefully placed beneath the skin.
• The tissue is repositioned to create a natural lifting effect.
• The sutures are adjusted to achieve optimal contour and symmetry.

Most patients return home immediately following the procedure.

Recovery after Silhouette InstaLift

Recovery is generally minimal compared to surgical facelift procedures.

Patients may experience:

• Mild swelling
• Temporary bruising
• Tenderness
• Minor tightness in treated areas

These effects typically resolve within several days. Most individuals can return to normal activities within a short period, although strenuous exercise should be avoided as directed by your provider.

How long do Silhouette InstaLift results last?

One of the unique advantages of Silhouette InstaLift is its dual-action approach. While the lifting effect is visible immediately, collagen stimulation continues to improve skin quality and support over time.

Many patients enjoy results for up to 18 to 24 months, depending on factors such as age, skin quality and lifestyle habits.
