The face adds the greatest value to an individual’s overall personality. But as the most visible and exposed part of the body, the face also is the first place where the signs of aging start showing. Fortunately, there are procedures such as a surgical facelift that can mitigate the signs of aging and restore facial youth.

However, a surgical facelift comes with its own inherent challenges and risks, and as a result, many people look for simpler, non-surgical alternatives to rejuvenate the face. Silhouette InstaLift has now come up as a safe and effective deep wrinkle treatment for aging lines and wrinkles around the eyes and forehead as well as smile lines.    
Modern Body Contouring & Laser Center (MBody), led by percipient and golden board certified plastic surgeons Dr. Reps Sundin and Dr. Burton Sundin, provides Silhouette InstaLift to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredericksburg, and surrounding communities in this area of the country.  
 

Safe Procedure, Instant Results

One of the advantages with Silhouette InstaLift is that the procedure can be safely performed in an office setting using only local anesthesia. The suture and cones used in this technique are produced with proven biomedical material, which is comfortably tolerated in the body.
The technique is designed to create near-instant firmness of the sagging facial tissue and create a significant mid-face lift. In addition to the immediate results, the procedure triggers the production of fresh collagen in the deeper skin layers, which help volumize the skin from within and allow for more sustainable results that will last for up to 18 months.
The procedure avoids most of the risks and side effects that are typically associated with any major plastic surgery procedure such as a traditional facelift.
 

Procedure

Silhouette InstaLift procedure can be completed in about 30 to 45 minutes on an outpatient basis in the surgeon’s office. The treatment provider will begin the procedure by applying a local anesthetic to numb the targeted sites in the face. This will be followed by gentle and precise placement of the threaded bidirectional cones into the upper layers of the subcutaneous tissue.
The procedure involves the use of very small needles to place the threaded cones to ensure minimal bruising. The treatment provider will position the cones in a way that that the openings face each other. This will squeeze the tissue in a gentle manner and create lifting of the mid-face contours.
 

Recovery

Silhouette InstaLift does not involve any specific recovery process, and the patients will mostly be able to return to their regular routine quickly. Patients may experience mild bruising and swelling in the needle sites, which is a temporary occurrence and will resolve soon.
The results of this procedure are immediately noticeable, but the final results will continue to establish itself over several months as the suture and cones promote the production of new collagen and elastin fibers in the skin. The remarkable and dependable MBody receives patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredericksburg, and other neighborhoods and communities across this geographical region for Silhouette InstaLift.

Changes to the facial skin are inevitable over time due to factors such as the aging process, heredity, sun and wind exposure, and illness. Common signs of facial aging include wrinkles, fine lines and folds around the mouth, nose and eyes. Some people may also develop thinner mid-face due to loss of cheek volume.
The skin’s ability to produce natural collagen and elastin fibers diminishes with age, which leads to sagging facial tissue and poor contours. A surgical facelift is a definitive solution to reverse the facial signs of aging and rejuvenate the face. A number of non-surgical facial rejuvenation options are also available today.
But some patients may not want to or may be unable to choose surgical facelift as an option to extend facial youth, while some others may be dissatisfied with regular non-surgical alternatives. All such patients now have the option of a cutting edge minimally invasive procedure to address sagging facial skin, which is called Silhouette InstaLift.

Unique Treatment

The Silhouette InstaLift is unique and different from other typical non-surgical facial rejuvenation technique. It involves the use of a re-absorbable thread and bidirectional cones to provide a significant lift to the mid-face tissue and stabilize sagging skin.
The insertion of the suture and cones in the deeper tissue stimulates production of new collagen fibers for more natural looking and longer lasting rejuvenation and facial volumizing from inside.  
 

How does it Work?

The innovative Silhouette InstaLift technology is based on a PLGA suture threaded by bidirectional cones. The PLGA material is a proven biomedical copolymer, which gets naturally reabsorbed by the body over a period of time. PLGA’s tolerance in the human body has been extensively studied and the procedure has earned the FDA clearance.
The key to success in Silhouette InstaLift procedure lies in the precise placement of the smooth cones at a depth of about 5 mm in the subcutaneous facial tissue. This will enable desirable positioning and stabilizing of the tissue and creation of a gentle lift, while the placement of bidirectional cones allows for further stability by squeezing and holding the tissue in a youthful position.
With this cutting edge non-surgical technique, the treatment provider can help create a facial lift, renewed volumizing of the mid-face, and improvement of aging lines around the forehead and eyes, and reduction of smile lines. True to its name, Silhouette InstaLift will create immediate results by producing an instant lift in the facial contours.
With the triggering of the natural process of fresh collagen production, the results will continue to improve over several months. The judicious and reliable MBody receives patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredericksburg, and other towns and suburbs in this part of the northeast for Silhouette InstaLift and various other aesthetic procedures.

Sagging facial tissue can be most effectively lifted with facelift cosmetic surgery. However, many people want to avoid surgery due to myriad reasons. For all such people, Silhouette InstaLift has come up as a promising, minimally invasive treatment option to reposition and lift sagging face tissue.
Modern Body Contouring & Laser Center (MBody), led by perspicacious and dependable board certified plastic surgeons Dr. Reps Sundin and Dr. Burton Sundin, offers Silhouette InstaLift to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredericksburg, and surrounding communities across the landscape.
 

Innovative Treatment Approach

While a large number of non-surgical cosmetic procedures are available today to address facial loss of volume and wrinkles, Silhouette InstaLift adopts a completely different and innovative approach compared to those. Silhouette InstaLift is, in fact, the first and only non-surgical treatment specifically designed to lift the underlying facial tissue and create sustainable results.
The specialist providing this treatment will insert threaded biodegradable cones into the targeted sagging facial sites to create a subtle lift and achieve facial rejuvenation. This innovative technique has already been used for years in Europe, and has now been cleared by the FDA and is becoming rapidly popular in the US.
 

How does it Work?

Silhouette InstaLift procedure involves the use of a completely re-absorbable suspension suture with bidirectional cones. Each cone has a smooth surface, which creates a good anchoring point in the subcutaneous tissue. The suture is made of PLGA, which is a biomedical co-polymer that is mostly well-tolerated in the body. PLGA is a tried and tested material and its safety aspects have been extensively evaluated.
Once the threaded cone is implanted in the affected area, it provides a mechanical fixation to the facial tissue. This support continues until new collagen fiber production and subsequent dissolution of the suture in the collagen occurs, which is the beginning of the biological fixation.
Over time, this action keeps getting repeated, enabling restoration of facial volume and enhancement of the facial contours in a natural looking way. MBody receives patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredericksburg, and other neighborhoods and suburbs for a Silhouette InstaLift.
 

Benefits

Silhouette InstaLift is ideal for people who want to achieve facial rejuvenation without a surgical facelift. Risks and complications that are typically associated with a surgical facelift are almost entirely avoided or mitigated in this procedure. The patient may experience mild swelling after the treatment, but they can camouflage it with makeup in 24 hours and resume their normal routine.
The procedure becomes minimally invasive because the sutures are embedded just underneath the top layers of the skin in subcutaneous tissue. Sutures get completely absorbed, and the patient can expect to enjoy the results for up to 18 months.
In European countries, hundreds of thousands of patients have successfully benefitted from Silhouette InstaLift, and its safety and effectiveness are widely established. The procedure works in a two-pronged way for creating a subtle lift as well as generating fresh volume in the depleted facial sites to create a youthful look.
