The ABCs of Silhouette InstaLift® at Our Mill Creek Practice

When it comes to rejuvenating the face and reducing wrinkles, facelifts are the first option that many patients consider. However, the surgery and extensive recovery that surgery requires can be intimidating, leading patients to seek out less-invasive alternatives. North Sound Dermatology Aesthetics offers the Silhouette InstaLift® treatment, a non-surgical facelift alternative that produces similar results without the downtime associated with surgery.

The Silhouette InstaLift® Technique

The Silhouette InstaLift® provides an instant lift of the skin while stimulating collagen production for long-lasting results. The skin tightening results are achieved using dissolvable threads and cones that are naturally absorbed by the body over time. During treatment, these threads and cones are placed under the skin, producing an instant lift that addresses volume loss and skin laxity. As the body breaks down these materials, collagen production is stimulated, which contributes to further skin benefits and long-lasting results.

What Makes The Silhouette InstaLift® Different from a Facelift?

A traditional facelift requires extensive surgery, which can leave patients with considerable swelling, scarring, and other discomfort following their treatment. The Silhouette InstaLift® is much less invasive, allowing patients to enjoy their results sooner without downtime. The Silhouette InstaLift® also improves volume in the skin, which is a benefit that you cannot receive with a traditional facelift. Facelifts will only tighten the skin, requiring a separate treatment for patients who also want to improve volume.

What Can I Expect After a Silhouette InstaLift®?

Although a Silhouette InstaLift® can help patients avoid the lengthy downtime required after surgical treatments, there may still be some minor side effects such as swelling or bruising. These typically fade within a few days, after which time the results from your treatment will be fully visible. Plus, you will enjoy gradual improvements in the laxity and appearance of the skin over the following months as you benefit from an increase in collagen production. The results from a Silhouette InstaLift® tend to last up to 18 months or longer.
