Silhouette Instalift

Patients who wish to lift sagging facial contours but who need more dramatic changes than fillers can provide without going under the knife will find the Silhouette InstaLift to be an instant hit! The InstaLift employs absorbable sutures and FDA-approved Micro-Suspension Technology to elevate sunken facial contours both in the short-term and over the long term through collagen regeneration.

Dr. Halaas is excited to offer this cutting-edge treatment as part of her ongoing commitment to staying ahead of the curve when it comes to cosmetic science. She was the first Facial Plastic Surgeon in the USA to perform the Silhouette InstaLifts and instructed all of the company's nurse trainers on performing the procedure.

What is InstaLift?

Using absorbable micro-cones, Silhouette InstaLift immediately and dramatically corrects the signs of facial aging, such as nasolabial folds, sagging cheeks, and a general loss of definition in the midface. InstaLift simultaneously boosts collagen production to smooth and plump the skin over the course of several years. InstaLift takes less than one hour to perform and comes with minimal downtime or side effects.

How does Silhouette InstaLift work?

During the InstaLift treatment, fine threads fitted with tiny cones are anchored within the subcutaneous tissue of the midface where they lift the skin and reposition it in a more aesthetically pleasing position. The procedure can be highly customized so that your results match your expectations for renewal. Over time, the cones trigger the body’s self-healing response of building more collagen, which firms the skin from the inside out.

Who is a good candidate for an InstaLift?

InstaLift is an excellent solution for clients of all ages and genders who want to rejuvenate their look without dermal fillers, laser therapy, or plastic surgery. It is ideal for those with good skin quality and mild to moderate sagging in the cheeks and midface.
