ALL ABOUT: SILHOUETTE INSTALIFT

What is Silhouette InstaLift?

It is a 45-minute* dual-action cosmetic rejuvenation device that restores your younger appearance by:

• Immediately lifting sagging, aging skin in the mid-face area

• Gradually restoring volume and repositioning skin by stimulating new collagen production

*Please note, 45-minutes, is the procedure time and not the service length. Anticipate to be in the clinic for 2 hours when booking for the Silhouette InstaLift.

What are the results of Silhouette InstaLift?

Your skin will appear lifted post-procedure and will continue to lift gradually over 2-6 months. Skin also tends to continue to rejuvenate over this period as well.

Silhouette InstaLift is a minimally invasive cosmetic rejuvenation device that provides an instant lift to aging skin in the mid-face area and restores lost facial volume by stimulating collagen production for a more youthful appearance that continues to improve over time and lasts up to 2 years or more.

How does Silhouette InstaLift work?

Silhouette InstaLift uses the latest micro-suspension technology, MST, to lift the mid-face area while simultaneously activating the creation of natural collagen to boost volume.

What are Silhouette InstaLift sutures made of?

Silhouette InstaLift is composed of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) (similar composition to Sculptra - a biostimulator) and glycolide polymer (PLGA). It is a well-known medical material that has a long history of medical use - more than 40 years - and is well tolerated by the body. It is biocompatible and biodegradable. It is known to stimulate collagen in facial aesthetics.

Who is a good candidate for treatment with Silhouette InstaLift?

Changes in the shape and appearance of the face happen gradually over time. These changes occur as skin strength and elasticity decrease with age, as well as due to the gradual loss of fat, bone, and cartilage. Silhouette InstaLift is technique sensitive, so you should speak with your practitioner to see if you are the type of person best suited to receive the treatment based on your skin type, age, facial structure, and medical history.

Silhouette InstaLift is most often recommended for women and men (mid-30s to mid-50s) seeking a rejuvenated, yet natural-looking appearance, as well as experiencing a loss of elasticity/sagging skin and loss of volume in the mid-face. They look in the mirror and lift their cheeks, wishing they could revert to where they once were and envision the youthful appearance they once had.

These women and men are looking for an immediate lift while adding volume over time. In fact, they may have previously received cosmetic injectables. However, they don’t feel ready for surgery. While they have good skin quality, they also notice their nasolabial folds and/or sagging in their cheeks.

Are You A Candidate?

• Age: 30 – 65 years old

• Thicker skin with a good degree of subcutaneous tissue

• Movable tissue, easily mobilized

• Realistic expectations: a moderate lift of approximately 1cm

• Have mild to moderate skin laxity

• Those who may have contraindications to surgery such as vascular compromise and impaired wound healing due to diabetes, hypertension, or tobacco use.

Is the procedure painful?

Silhouette InstaLift is a quick, minimally invasive way to restore your youthful appearance with minimal discomfort. A local anesthetic is provided.

How much downtime is needed following the procedure?

Following treatment with Silhouette InstaLift, patients may experience minor pain, swelling, and bruising. Recovery time is minimal, with most patients returning to normal activities within 2-4 days.

How is Silhouette InstaLift different from other Thread Lifts?

Silhouette InstaLift uses a unique micro-suspension technology, MST, to lift the mid-face while simultaneously activating the creation of natural collagen to boost volume. Silhouette InstaLift is the ONLY Health Canada-approved dual-action device for cosmetic rejuvenation indicating that it is a safe procedure. It is made from a well-known polymer that is frequently used in medical devices and is well-tolerated by the body.
