Instalift®

Ideal candidates for InstaLift are individuals aged between 35 and 65 with a moderate degree of sagging skin in the mid-face, cheeks, and jawline areas. Those seeking a non-surgical face lift to address early signs of facial aging may find InstaLift to be a suitable option. However, certain contraindications may exclude some individuals from being suitable candidates. These contraindications include known allergies or foreign body sensitivities to plastic biomaterial, presence of an infection, or situations where internal fixation is otherwise contraindicated. Additionally, individuals with very soft facial tissues might not be ideal candidates as the implant may be visible post-procedure. It’s imperative to note that the Silhouette InstaLift® is technique-sensitive, hence, it’s advisable to consult with an experienced physician who understands the utilization of the device. The right physician would be able to identify the best-suited candidates for the treatment based on factors such as skin type, age, facial structure, and medical history.

InstaLift operates by inserting biocompatible sutures with micro-cones beneath the skin to mechanically lift and hold facial tissues, providing an immediate lift. Over time, these threads also foster collagen production, aiding in ongoing facial rejuvenation and a natural lift effect.

Typically, downtime post-InstaLift is minimal, ranging from 24 to 48 hours, allowing for a swift return to daily activities as compared to a surgical face lift, which may require a longer recovery period.

No, general anesthesia is not required for InstaLift. This minimally invasive procedure can be performed under local anesthesia, making it a safer and quicker alternative to surgical face lift procedures.
