How much does a Silhouette Instalift treatment cost?

The average cost range is $1500 to $2,000, depending on the number of threads required.

How long do the results last?

Instalift thread results are not permanent. The suture dissolves into the tissue over time, resulting in collagen formation at the thread site. The lifting results from the thread placements are immediate and typically last 24 months.

Is a Silhouette Instalift Thread treatment painful?

Silhouette Instalift threads are more complex to position than the typical PDO threads on the market. However, they are better tolerated by patients and offer longer-lasting results.

What is the downtime associated with this treatment?

After treatment, patients may notice slight tenderness, swelling, and skin irregularities in the treatment area for 3-5 days. Slight bruising in the treatment area may occur due to the nature of the treatment. High-intensity exercise should be avoided for two weeks to ensure stable thread placement.

Q: What facial areas can be treated with Silhouette Instalift Threads?

Silhouette Instalift Threads are best used for refreshing the lower face: lifting the jowls, repositioning the descending fat pad lateral to the lower lip, and tightening the saggy skin in the lower face.

Silhouette Instalift Threads for a non surgical lift

Why They Work

Silhouette InstaLift Threads are biodegradable sutures comprised of poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLLA and PLGA). They consist of proprietary bi-directional cones which lift tissue to tighten saggy skin while restoring cheek volume and redefining the jawline. The PLLA/PLGA cones dissolve over time to stimulate new collagen for up to two years. Silhouette InstaLift Threads create a non-surgical lift with minimum downtime and immediate results.

Thread Lift, like a mini facelift

What to Expect

First, facial lifting vectors are mapped and marked for optimal thread placement. Then, a lidocaine mix is injected into the treatment area. The Silhouette Instalift Threads are then strategically inserted in the deep layer of the skin and secured to reposition the lower face tissue. Four to six PLGA sutures (2-3 per side) are typically used. A reduction in jowl fat pads, nasolabial folds, and a more defined jawline, like a mini facelift, is immediately apparent.

Yes. Silhouette Instalift Threads offer better-lifting capabilities due to increased surface area via cone technology. PDO threads use barbs to position and lift.
