Silhouette Instalift™ Treatment Experts in Arlington, VA

Silhouette InstaLift is a simple procedure to re-contour your face, lifting the deeper layers of your skin for a more youthful appearance.

As a protein found throughout the skin, collagen serves as organic scaffolding to hold tissues in place, maintaining youthful contours. Fat also adds volume, which keeps skin taut and pleasantly round. Aging leads to a reduction in collagen as it breaks down and is more slowly replaced in the skin. Coupled with fat shifting lower on the face, even as it diminishes, collagen loss can lead to noticeable—and even dramatic—cosmetic changes.

Silhouette InstaLift™ was designed to be a dual-solution treatment, using sutures to hold tissues in position higher on the face, as well as stimulating fresh collagen production to boost volume where it is needed.

What Is a Silhouette Instalift Session like?

Your physician will discuss whether this technique is suitable for you and will create a treatment plan to ensure you achieve the results you desire. During the procedure the physician will use sutures with bidirectional cones to reposition and elevate the skin on your face. The in-office procedure typically takes approximately 45 minutes to complete.

What Results Can Be Expected from Silhouette Instalift?

You will see immediate results and have minimal recovery time after the procedure. Over time the sutures will naturally be absorbed by your body while stimulating production of collagen.
