What Is InstaLift?

Redefine Your Contours

Silhouette InstaLift® represents the evolution of thread lifting. Unlike older generation threads, it uses biocompatible PLGA cones to anchor deep tissue, providing a significant lift without surgery.

Silhouette InstaLift® uses dissolvable sutures with bi-directional PLLA/PGA cones. When inserted, these sutures physically lift sagging tissue and stimulate fibroblasts to produce collagen. The cones activate collagen regeneration, improving skin tone, elasticity, and firmness over time as the threads dissolve.

Immediate Mechanical Lift

Bidirectional cones provide instant anchoring and lifting of sagging tissue.

Collagen Regeneration

PLLA/PGA material stimulates long-term collagen production for lasting firmness.

Minimal Downtime

Return to normal activities within 1-3 days with minimal recovery time.

FAQ

Common Questions

Is the procedure painful?+

Most patients report minimal discomfort. We use local anesthesia at the entry and exit points. You may feel some pressure during the threading, but it is generally well-tolerated.

How long does recovery take?+

Social downtime is minimal (1-3 days). You may experience minor swelling, bruising, or skin dimpling at the entry points, which typically resolves within a week.

What is the difference between InstaLift and PDO threads?+

InstaLift uses 'cones' rather than 'barbs' and is made of PLGA. Cones provide stronger anchoring for lifting heavier tissue, while PLGA stimulates more durable collagen than PDO. It is generally superior for lifting.

How long do results last?+

Results typically last 18 to 24 months. While the sutures dissolve after about 6 months, the new collagen structure they created continues to support the skin.

Who is the ideal candidate?+

Ideal candidates are those with mild to moderate skin laxity who want a lift but aren't ready for surgery. It is suitable for both men and women.

Is Silhouette InstaLift® safe?+

Yes, it's Health Canada Approved, made from fully absorbable, biocompatible materials.
