What is Silhouette InstaLift?

The Silhouette InstaLift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to address concerns such as skin laxity, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and deepening nasolabial folds (the lines that run from the corners of the nose to the corners of the mouth). Unlike traditional facelift surgeries, this method offers a less intensive approach to rejuvenating the face and neck.

What does Silhouette InstaLift treat?

The Silhouette InstaLift is a cosmetic procedure specifically designed to address a range of aging-related concerns, offering rejuvenation and improved definition to the face and neck:

  • Facial Skin Laxity: Over time, our skin loses its firmness and begins to sag, leading to a more aged appearance. The Silhouette InstaLift combats this by stimulating the production of fibrous tissue and collagen. As a result, the skin undergoes a natural tightening and lifting, restoring a more youthful appearance.
  • Neck & Jawline Definition: As we age, the definition around the neck and jawline can become less pronounced. The Silhouette InstaLift is adept at suspending facial tissues, and repositioning them strategically to enhance the contour of the neck and jawline. This results in a sharper, more defined profile.

Who’s suitable for this treatment?

The Silhouette InstaLift procedure is specifically tailored for individuals in the earlier stages of aging. Ideally, the candidate should be younger and beginning to notice the initial signs of aging. This procedure is particularly beneficial for those who wish to address and delay these signs without resorting to more invasive surgical interventions.

However, it’s worth noting that the Silhouette InstaLift may not be the best choice for everyone. Individuals with advanced signs of aging or those with excessively loose skin might not achieve the desired outcomes from this procedure. Such cases might require more comprehensive treatments or surgeries.

How does Silhouette InstaLift work?

InstaLift is a cutting-edge, non-surgical procedure performed in our Milwaukee dermatology office. Its primary purpose is to address sagging facial skin, especially in areas such as the jawline and cheeks. The procedure employs threads made of absorbable suture material. These threads are carefully placed beneath the skin’s surface to lift and support sagging tissue. Over time, the threads naturally dissolve, but the lifted appearance remains, thanks to the body’s collagen response and the strategic placement of the threads.

What outcomes can I expect from Silhouette InstaLift?

Undergoing a Silhouette InstaLift procedure offers a unique rejuvenation experience. Rather than being immediate, the outcomes tend to evolve over several months as the body undergoes natural healing.

 

  • Gradual Development: Following the procedure, the effects will become progressively apparent as the body heals. This natural and gradual transformation ensures the results appear more authentic and less “done.”
  • Dissolving Threads and Collagen Formation: The coned threads used during the InstaLift are designed to dissolve over time. However, as they do so, they leave behind a structure of newly formed collagen and a fibrous protein matrix. This ensures that the lifted appearance of the skin is maintained even after the threads are no longer present.
  • Natural Progression with Time: It’s essential to understand that while the Silhouette InstaLift offers significant improvements, the treated areas will still be subject to the natural processes of aging, daily use, and the effects of gravity. This means the results will evolve as time progresses.
  • Maintenance Treatments: To sustain the rejuvenated appearance and counteract the natural effects of aging, it is recommended that individuals undergo maintenance treatments every 18 months.
