What Is Silhouette InstaLift®?
Silhouette Instalift® uses dissolvable sutures with bi-directional cones to lift the underlying facial tissues and stimulate collagen production. The procedure is performed in-office by a qualified health care professional and typically takes less than 90 minutes to complete, making it an ideal option for individuals seeking quick and effective results without the need for surgery. Here are the benefits:
- Non-Surgical Approach: One of the most significant advantages of Silhouette InstaLift® is that it is a non-surgical procedure. Unlike traditional facelift surgery, there are no incisions, general anesthesia, or extensive downtime involved. This makes it a safer and more convenient option for individuals who prefer to avoid the risks and recovery associated with surgery.
- Immediate Results: Silhouette InstaLift® provides immediate lifting effects. Patients typically notice a visible improvement in their facial contours immediately after the procedure. The bi-directional cones on the sutures anchor the sagging skin, repositioning it to restore a more youthful appearance. This instant lift gives patients a boost of confidence and satisfaction with their rejuvenated appearance.
- Collagen Stimulation: In addition to its immediate lifting effects, Silhouette InstaLift® stimulates the natural production of collagen in the skin. As the dissolvable sutures gradually dissolve over time, they promote collagen synthesis, leading to improved skin texture, elasticity, and firmness. This collagen stimulation helps patients achieve long-term benefits, as collagen is essential for maintaining youthful-looking skin.
- Minimal Downtime: Unlike surgical facelift procedures that require extensive recovery periods, Silhouette InstaLift® involves minimal downtime. Most patients can resume their daily activities within a day or two after the treatment. This is particularly appealing for individuals with busy schedules who want to achieve facial rejuvenation without interrupting their routine.
- Natural-Looking Results: Silhouette InstaLift® provides natural-looking results. The sutures are strategically placed to lift and reposition specific areas of the face, such as the cheeks, jowls, and jawline, based on the patient's unique concerns. The procedure does not involve over-tightening, which can sometimes lead to an unnatural appearance. The outcome is a subtle and refreshed look that enhances the patient's natural beauty.
- Long-Lasting Effects: While the sutures used in Silhouette InstaLift® eventually dissolve, the results can last up to 18 months. This extended duration of improvement sets it apart from many other non-surgical treatments, making it an attractive option for those seeking longer-lasting results.
- Customizable Treatment: Silhouette InstaLift® is a customizable treatment that can be tailored to each patient's specific needs and desired outcomes. The practitioner can adjust the sutures to achieve the desired lifting effect and contour. This personalized approach ensures that patients receive a treatment plan that is tailored to their unique facial structure and aesthetic goals.
- Safety Profile: Silhouette InstaLift® has a favourable safety profile. The procedure has been extensively tested and approved by Health Canada, providing patients with peace of mind knowing that they are undergoing a reliable and trusted treatment.
