All About Silhouette InstaLift Threads

As we get older, many things start to slow down, including our skin’s collagen production. Beginning around age 18, collagen production starts to decline by 1.0%-1.5%.(1) Now using the most modern materials and techniques, the FDA-approved Silhouette InstaLift Threads procedure provides an immediate lift that leaves skin looking younger and promotes a more youthful appearance through a sustained increase in collagen production. If you’ve reached your limit on other cosmetic procedures and are ready to take the next step towards looking younger, Silhouette InstaLift Threads may be a great solution for you.

WHAT EXACTLY ARE INSTALIFT THREADS?

They are temporary and completely absorbable sutures strategically placed in target areas to tighten and lift facial skin. These innovative sutures are threaded with bidirectional cones that help hold and tighten the skin. Then, as they remain and gradually break down over time, collagen production is stimulated. This naturally occurring action means stronger, more hydrated, and younger-looking skin – exactly where you need it. 

The completely resorbable threads will naturally dissolve within the skin and be safely absorbed by the body.(2) There is no cutting involved and a patient can be in and out in the time it takes to go out to lunch. Using only local anesthesia means a patient can drive themselves to and from their appointment and resume normal activities immediately afterwards. Effects from this low-risk procedure can last between 1 and 2 years, with many satisfied patients choosing to return for a new set of threads for ongoing improvements.

Candidates

Wondering if Silhouette InstaLift Threads are for you? Countless people begin to notice the effects of aging in their mid-to-late 30s. Understandably, not everyone who wants to look younger is willing or able to undergo traditional facelift or even mini-lift surgery. Others cannot have surgery due to underlying medical conditions, or they may be restricted by the cost and recovery time. The ideal Silhouette InstaLift Threads candidate will range in age from mid-30s to early-50s and have only mild to moderate signs of aging

Because this low-risk procedure can be done under local anesthesia, it is also a very safe and effective alternative for patients who cannot have surgery. For maximum results without surgery, Instalift threading can be combined with radio-frequency energy and injectable treatments to enhance results. The best way to determine if treatments with Silhouette InstaLift Threads are right for you is to schedule a personal consultation.

Results

In addition to the immediate lift Silhouette InstaLift Threads provide, results also include documented naturally-occurring youthful skin associated with the healing process. Increased collagen build-up in the area throughout the months following the procedure will hydrate and improve the condition of your skin – for up to 18 months. It is important to note that this procedure is not permanent. Once the threads are completely dissolved most patients opt to repeat the procedure (or a variation of it), typically every 18-24 months.
