A SilhouetteInstaLift treatment might be right for you if you want a facelift without going under the needle. This non-invasive procedure uses sutures to tighten and lift sagging skin. These sutures can be easily reabsorbed so that you get a natural-looking and lasting result.
Conical-shaped sutures can be used
The surgeon uses small cone-shaped sutures to lift and reposition sagging facial tissues. The sutures will be inserted below the skin in specific locations. The procedure typically takes less than 45 minutes for most patients.
They are biosorbable
Resorbable Silhouette InstaLift can be used to perform a non-surgical facial lift. It is performed by a skilled medical professional and causes minimal side effects. But, before you proceed with this procedure, there are a few things that you need to know.
They are bidirectional
Silhouette InstaLift involves a surgical procedure which lifts and holds the tissue underneath it with biodegradable staples. The surgeon doesn't need to cut the thread and does not have to resorb any affected areas. Bi-directional cones offer the most stable lift. While the sutures can be biodegradable they are not cost effective for silhouette instalifts. The treatment area will determine how much it costs.
They grab tissue
A doctor performs the SilhouetteInstaLift procedure in order to lift the sagging tissue. The procedure starts with 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. For three to seven days, patients can expect swelling, bruising, tenderness, and discomfort. The threads dissolve with time, but patients should avoid strenuous exercise for a week after the procedure.
They are far less invasive that surgery
Silhouette's InstaLift is minimally invasive and can correct moderate sagging or jowls. It can also improve skin firmness and elasticity. This procedure, unlike a traditional one, will not cause scarring. The results can last up to 3 years. The procedure is done under local anesthesia with minimal downtime.
