Immediately after your nonsurgical Silhouette facelift, you may notice some mild redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at or around the thread insertion sites. These side effects should resolve quickly, usually within a few hours or days. While the preliminary improvements made with a nonsurgical facelift can be seen immediately, optimal results are typically visible after about 3-6 months once collagen supplies begin to build. On average, most patients are able to enjoy their nonsurgical Silhouette Instalift results for up to 18-24 months, particularly when paired with a healthy lifestyle and dedicated aesthetic skincare regimen.

The Thread Lift is an outpatient procedure performed at Imperial Dermatology, generally taking about an hour. Prior to starting your treatment, Dr. Bartos will apply a topical anesthetic and mark the treatment areas. The area is marked, numbed with a tiny amount of local anesthetic, and then a needle will be used to place the dissolvable threads into your skin to produce a tighter, suspended appearance and create your desired lift. The threads contain tiny, absorbable cones, which help stimulate collagen production to add youthful-looking volume. After your procedure, you should have very little required downtime. You might experience some mild bruising and swelling, but these effects should dissipate within a few days.

Is the Silhouette InstaLift safe?

Yes, it is. The Silhouette InstaLift was approved by the FDA in 2015 and is the only absorbable suture with FDA clearance for cosmetic procedures.

Does getting a nonsurgical facelift hurt?

No, most patients don't experience discomfort during a nonsurgical facelift. Before your procedure, Dr. Bartos will apply a topical anesthetic to the treatment area and then numb it with a local anesthetic to keep you comfortable while the threads are inserted. After the procedure, some patients may experience mild swelling or bruising, but these typically subside in a few days.

How long does a nonsurgical facelift procedure take?

Most nonsurgical facelift procedures take about 30 - 45 minutes.

How soon do you see results from a nonsurgical facelift?

Some people may see tightening and firming results almost instantly, but in most cases, results start becoming noticeable within weeks as the skin starts to produce new collagen. Optimal results are usually seen at 3 – 6 months.

How long do the results from a nonsurgical facelift last?

Many patients can see their results from a nonsurgical facelift last for about 18 – 24 months or longer.
