Few people feel their age, and when the reflection in the mirror doesn’t show what you feel inside, it can be frustrating. In fact, research shows that people over 40 feel up to 20 percent younger than their age. Many people just aren’t ready to commit to a drastic, invasive surgery, and this leaves many men and women feeling like they have no real options.
Thankfully, the FDA has approved a non-surgical face-lift called Silhouette InstaLift that requires no incisions and no anesthesia. The procedure only takes half an hour to an hour, leading many to call it the “lunchtime face-lift”. The results last from 12 to 18 months, and it costs only a fraction of a surgical face-lift.
The procedure is performed by placing dissolvable threads and cones along the cheekbones and areas of concern that slowly disintegrate as scar tissue is created and the face naturally begins to lift itself. The process also stimulates collagen production, so it helps address volume loss along with sagging or lax skin, the leading causes of an aged appearance in the face.
Another reason patients love Silhouette InstaLift is recovery time is minimal. After the procedure, you may experience some swelling, redness or bruising, but it usually resolves on its own in a few days. The procedure is comfortable, and most patients report it is pain free as numbing agent is applied to the face before treatment begins.
