Silhouette InstaLift is a non-invasive treatment that rejuvenates the face using absorbable sutures. Thread lifts are not new to aesthetic medicine, but they have evolved significantly over time. The InstaLift utilizes "coned" threads versus "barbed" threads that have been known to make tiny tears in subcutaneous tissue.
Unlike traditional surgical facelifts that focus primarily on trimming excess skin, the InstaLift both repositions tissue and promotes more firmness and plumpness through collagen remodeling. The first action of coned threads is to lift tissue and hold it in a higher position. The second is to provoke an extended period of collagen and elastin production to naturally add more volume back into the dermis. This stimulation is triggered by the dissolvable threads and cones made of polylactic acid.
