The sutures lift and reposition subdermal tissue while the bi-directional cones hold the suture and facial skin in an elevated position. The suture and cone material are both made of glycolide /L-lactide (PLGA) and over time they stimulate fibroblasts for gradual collagen maturation and are designed to reposition volume in the mid-face with a goal of a natural-looking result.

Non-surgical, immediate and lasting lift
Silhouette InstaLift is a pioneer of non-surgical threadlifts and offers both an immediate lift and a gradual boost in collagen production. Silhouette InstaLift is the only non-surgical rejuvenating procedure that uses advanced Micro- Suspension TechnologyTM to offer immediate and lasting results.
Minimal downtime, long lasting results
The procedure only takes under an hour and is done right in your doctor’s office. InstaLift also has minimal downtime with most signs of treatment (ex: bruising, swelling, and tenderness at the treatment site) dissipating within 24–48 hours. Patients can get right back to their activities and enjoy an instant lift in the cheeks, while adding volume over time for long lasting results.
Micro suspension technology
Thread lift Silhouette InstaLift is a treatment unlike any other. Our Micro Suspension Technology is comprised of micro cones that are placed in the deepest layer of mid-facial skin. It delivers an immediate lift and gradually restores lost facial volume of the mid face by activating your own natural collagen production for a more youthful appearance that continues to improve over time. The sutures and cones are made from poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), a well-known biomedical copolymer that is biocompatible and biodegradable.
