Silhouette Instalift

The ideal candidate for Silhouette InstaLift is someone who wants to achieve immediate lifting results and restore youthful curvature to the face, but who doesn’t want to constantly maintain their new look, have surgery, or experience a long downtime.

Silhouette InstaLift is particularly ideal for people who want natural and discreet results, with clear improvements to the tightness of their skin without drastic changes to their appearance. The procedure can be effective for people who have a good quality of skin, moderate mid-face sagging, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines. 

For the best results from Silhouette InstaLift, patients should have good skin laxity and elasticity, as it’s often harder to achieve good results if patients have thin skin. Silhouette InstaLift isn’t suitable for people who have a PGA or PLLA allergy, as the procedure may cause inflammation. Patients with excessive skin, thick skin, or who are lacking good levels of underlying fat are also unsuitable for the Silhouette InstaLift procedure in Rockford and Oakbrook Terrace, IL.
