As we age, gravity takes its toll, our cheeks sag, jowls form, and skin loses elasticity. While traditional facelifts offer a solution, many people are not ready for surgery. This is where Silhouette InstaLift comes in, a revolutionary non-surgical facial lifting procedure that helps redefine facial contours without the need for scalpels, general anesthesia, or extended recovery time. Skin And Body Refinery would like to break down what Silhouette InstaLift is, how it works, and why it’s become one of the most talked-about treatments in aesthetic medicine.
What is Silhouette InstaLift?
Silhouette InstaLift is a minimally invasive, FDA-cleared facial rejuvenation procedure that uses absorbable sutures with special bidirectional cones to lift and reposition sagging facial tissue. This treatment is ideal for those looking to correct midface sagging, jowls, or loss of contour, but who don’t want the downtime or cost of surgical options.
How Does Silhouette InstaLift Work?
The procedure uses dissolvable sutures made from polylactic acid (PLA) a biocompatible material that stimulates collagen production. These sutures are placed under the skin using a needle and positioned to lift and suspend the skin, providing immediate results. Silhouette InstaLift will:
- Immediate Lift: The unique cones on the sutures physically reposition the skin for a noticeable lifting effect.
- Long-Term Regeneration: As the threads dissolve over time, typically 6 to 9 months, they stimulate the body to produce natural collagen, which improves skin texture, firmness, and elasticity for long-lasting rejuvenation.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Silhouette InstaLift is most commonly used for lifting and redefining:
- Midface and cheeks
- Jawline and jowls
- Nasolabial folds or smile lines
- Lower face and neck
It’s especially effective for addressing early signs of aging in the mid-to-lower face.
Who is a Good Candidate for Silhouette InstaLift?
You may be a great candidate if you:
- Are in your late 30s to early 60s with mild to moderate skin laxity
- Want a noticeable lift without undergoing surgery
- Prefer a natural-looking result over an overly tight or “done” appearance
- Are in good general health and have realistic expectations
This treatment is not ideal for individuals with major skin sagging or excess skin, in which case a surgical facelift may be more appropriate.
What to Expect During & After the Procedure
During the Procedure your provider will mark the treatment area and use local anesthesia. A special thread with bidirectional cones are inserted into the subcutaneous layer of skin using a fine needle. The threads are then adjusted to lift and reposition the tissue. The total treatment time can take between 45 to 60 minutes. After the procedure you may experience slight swelling or tenderness for a few days. Avoid strenuous exercise, facial massages, and exaggerated facial expressions for about a week. Your results will improve over time as your body naturally builds collagen.
