Silhouette InstaLift®
Early signs of aging are more apparent on the face and may include deepening nasolabial folds, drooping cheeks, and jowls. For those who are not ready to pursue a more aggressive or surgical procedure, a thread lift is a minimally invasive, outpatient treatment that offers immediate improvement. The Silhouette Instalift is a type of thread lift that has additional cone structures on each thread. These cones allow for easier tissue fixation to the thread, providing more noticeable results. It is common for a thread lift to be combined with various other facial rejuvenation treatments such as laser resurfacing or dermal fillers to further enhance skin volume and texture.
Improvement in wrinkles and sagging is noticeable immediately after the procedure with continued improvement for several months after, as collagen production increases facial volume to further diminish fine lines. Inserted threads will eventually dissolve with effects lasting for as long as 2 years depending on lifestyle.
