Cosmetic medical techniques have advanced greatly in recent years. Many aspects of facial aging can be addressed with safe and effective procedures that offer little downtime and natural-looking results. While wrinkles, brown spots and lost volume can be treated with existing procedures, until now there has been no minimally invasive way to lift the deeper layers of facial skin, one of the major contributors to an aged and tired appearance.
Lifting to Redefine Facial Contours- How it works?
Silhouette InstaLift is a simple procedure to re-contour your face, lifting the deeper layers of your skin for a more youthful appearance.
Lift is provided by inserting special absorbable sutures under the skin which provide natural lift and re-suspension of the face, cheeks and jowls. During the procedure the physician will use these special sutures with “bidirectional cones” to reposition and elevate the skin on your face. These special sutures cannot be seen because they are positioned in the subcutaneous tissue, a thin layer of fatty tissue that is just beneath the skin. Once placed, Silhouette InstaLift provides lift of the tissue until collagen production and subsequent encapsulation of the suture in collagen takes place. This action continues over time and helps to increase the volume and restore shapeliness to the face gradually and naturally
Lift is usually accomplished with as few as 3 to 4 sets of absorbable sutures. Silhouette Instalift requires no incisions and after careful placement, these cannot be seen or felt. Over time the sutures will naturally be absorbed by your body while stimulating your natural production of collagen.
