Are you wondering whether to go for a Silhouette Insta Lift or Facelift? Well, here are some pros and cons of each procedure.
What is Silhouette Insta Lift?
Silhouette Instalift New Jersey cosmetic procedure is an innovative non-surgical face-lifting technique using the latest technology available in the world. This treatment uses radio frequency to stimulate collagen production and tighten facial muscles.
This is done under local anesthesia and takes no longer than 30 minutes. It is painless and safe. There is no downtime required after the procedure.
How does it work?
The procedure works by inserting bi-directional cones through the skin and into the underlying tissues. These cones are made from polylactic acid, which is a synthetic material that has been shown to stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that is responsible for the elasticity and firmness of the skin.
The bi-directional cones not only stimulate collagen production but also dissolve over time, gradually releasing the collagen and encouraging further lifting and tightening of facial structures. Additionally, the Silhouette Insta lift involves the placement of biodegradable sutures that provide support to the facial tissues and further enhance the lifting effect.
Overall, this treatment offers instant lifting and tightening benefits with minimal recovery time, making it an ideal alternative to surgical facelifts for those with mild to moderate skin laxity. It is important to note, however, that the Silhouette Insta lift is not suitable for those with extensive sagging or loss of volume, and realistic expectations should always be discussed with a medical professional prior to undergoing the procedure.

Are Silhouette Insta Lifts Safe?
Silhouette Instalifts are safe, but not all women need them. The procedure involves cutting away excess skin through tiny incisions. This creates a smoother appearance and reduces wrinkles.
Ideal candidates for the procedure are those with good facial skin laxity, who are looking for minimal recovery time and instant lifting.

What is Facelift?
A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to reduce visible signs of aging on the face and neck. It helps to restore the youthful contours of the face by addressing issues such as loss of volume in the cheeks and deep wrinkles around the mouth and eyes. This surgical procedure usually involves removing excess skin from the face and repositioning facial muscles to create a smoother, more lifted appearance.

Facelifts are often done in conjunction with Skin Rejuvenation treatments such as laser resurfacing or chemical peels for maximum results. Traditional facelift surgery requires an incision along the hairline and in front of the ear, then lifting facial tissue up so that it can be tightened and stitched into place for a more youthful look.
