Silhouette InstaLift® in Edmonton

A thread lift, such as the Silhouette InstaLift®, provides long-lasting results. The threads stimulate collagen production, which can continue to improve skin texture for up to 18 months. While the threads naturally dissolve over time, the effects of a thread lift can last for about 1 to 2 years, depending on your skin's condition and aging process.

Many patients opt for follow-up treatments after this period to maintain their lifted appearance. The results are subtle yet effective, offering a natural rejuvenation that enhances the contours of the face without the need for invasive surgery.

The cost of a Silhouette InstaLift® in Edmonton varies based on factors such as the treatment area, the complexity of your needs, and the provider’s expertise. On average, thread lifts typically range from $3000-$6000. This price may include the consultation, treatment, and any follow-up visits necessary.

While the initial cost may seem higher compared to traditional non-invasive treatments, the thread lift provides long-lasting results and can be a cost-effective alternative to facelifts. Be sure to schedule a consultation to receive a personalized treatment plan and accurate pricing based on your unique needs.

After a Silhouette InstaLift® treatment, some mild swelling and bruising are normal. To reduce swelling, it’s important to follow aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner. Applying a cold compress to the treated areas during the first 48 hours can significantly reduce swelling and discomfort. Keeping your head elevated while resting and avoiding vigorous physical activity will also aid the healing process.

Additionally, taking over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications, as advised by your practitioner, can help alleviate swelling. Most of the swelling will subside within a few days, leaving you with a refreshed appearance.

The Silhouette InstaLift® procedure is designed to be minimally uncomfortable. Many patients report that the treatment feels similar to a slight pressure or tightness in the skin. To ensure comfort, a local anesthetic is applied to the treatment area before the procedure. This numbing process helps minimize any discomfort during the insertion of the threads.

Additionally, Silhouette InstaLift® involves no incisions or stitches, making it a more comfortable option compared to traditional facelifts. Post-procedure discomfort is typically mild, with patients reporting only slight tenderness or sensitivity that usually resolves within a few days.

After a Silhouette InstaLift® in Edmonton, patients may experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness in the treated areas. These side effects are temporary and usually subside within a few days.

It’s important to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by Dr. Moussa to ensure the best results.

Most patients can return to work or daily activities within a day or two, although strenuous exercise and facial massages should be avoided for about a week. Expect to see full results within a few months.

The Vampire Facelift® combines the rejuvenating power of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with a thread lift, such as the Silhouette InstaLift®, to enhance your facial appearance. During the procedure, PRP is drawn from your own blood and injected into the skin to stimulate collagen production and promote tissue regeneration.

When combined with a Silhouette InstaLift®, the results are even more pronounced, as the threads lift the skin while the PRP improves its texture and elasticity. This combination treatment is ideal for those seeking non-surgical facial rejuvenation with long-lasting, natural results that enhance overall skin quality.

Side effects of the Silhouette InstaLift® in Edmonton are typically mild and temporary. Common side effects include swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection sites. These side effects usually subside within a few days. In some cases, patients may experience slight discomfort or tightness in the treated areas as the threads settle under the skin.

Serious side effects are rare but may include infection or thread migration, which can be avoided by following aftercare instructions carefully. Overall, the procedure is well-tolerated, and most patients experience a smooth recovery with minimal disruptions to their daily activities.

At Serene Radiance in Edmonton, we often combine the Silhouette InstaLift® with other treatments to enhance results. For instance, Dysport® or dermal fillers can be used to address fine lines and wrinkles, while a Vampire Facelift® can further rejuvenate the skin by stimulating collagen production.

Chemical peels or microneedling may also be used to improve skin texture and tone. Combining these treatments with a thread lift allows for a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation, addressing multiple concerns simultaneously.
