If you're looking for a facelift but don't want to go under the knife, a Silhouette InstaLift treatment may be for you. This is a non-invasive procedure that uses stitches to lift and tighten sagging, sagging skin. These sutures can be reabsorbed, so you can expect natural-looking results with lasting effects.
Sutures are cone-shaped
To lift and reposition sagging skin, the surgeon uses small conical sutures. The sutures are placed under the skin at strategic points. Most patients will need to wait less than 45 minutes.
They can be absorbed easily
Resorbable Silhouette is a non-surgical procedure for a facelift. It is performed only by a medical professional who has experience in performing facelifts. There are no side effects. However, there are some things to keep in mind before you go for this procedure.
They are bi-directional
Silhouette InstaLift is a surgical procedure that lifts and secures the tissue beneath it with biodegradable sutures. The surgeon does no need to cut or resorb the treated areas after the procedure. The sutures are placed in bi-directional cones which offer the strongest lift. The cost of silhouette instillations is dependent on the area treated.
They grab tissue
A physician performs a Silhouette InstaLift procedure to lift the sagging tissue. The procedure begins by applying topical anesthesia. The doctor then uses a suture to insert a thread into the underlying tissues and then lifts the tissue up. The procedure takes between 30 and 45 minutes. Patients can expect swelling, bruising and tenderness for up to seven days. Although the threads will disintegrate over time, patients should refrain from strenuous exercise for the first week.
They are much less invasive than surgery
Silhouette's InstaLift is minimally invasive and can correct moderate sagging or jowls. It can also improve skin firmness and elasticity. Unlike a traditional facelift, this procedure will not leave any scarring, and the results will last up to three years. It is performed under local sedation and requires very little downtime.
