InstaLift Thread lift Edmonton

At Nakatsui DermaSurgery, an Instalift thread lift session ranges from $900-$5500. This depends on the number of threads and the cost of each thread ranges from $550-$900 depending upon the number of threads used.

The Silhouette InstaLift is perfect for individuals who are:

• Experiencing mild to moderate sagging in the mid-face area.
• Seeking a non-surgical alternative to a traditional facelift.
• Desiring a quick, minimally invasive procedure with minimal downtime.
• Wanting to enhance their natural beauty without the risks associated with surgery.

The Silhouette InstaLift procedure typically takes about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the areas being treated. You can expect to resume most of your daily activities shortly after the procedure.

Recovery time is minimal with the Silhouette InstaLift. You may experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the insertion points, which usually subsides within a few days. Most patients return to their regular activities within 24-48 hours.

You will notice an immediate lifting effect right after the procedure. The results will continue to improve over the next few months as collagen production is stimulated, enhancing skin firmness and texture.

The results of the Silhouette InstaLift can last up to 18-24 months, depending on individual factors such as skin condition, age, and lifestyle. Regular maintenance treatments can help prolong the effects.

Side effects are typically mild and may include temporary swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the suture sites. Serious complications are rare but can include infection or suture migration. Choosing a skilled and experienced practitioner, like those at our dermatology clinic, minimizes these risks.

Yes, the Silhouette InstaLift can be combined with other anti-aging treatments such as dermal fillers or Botox to enhance overall facial rejuvenation. During your consultation, Dr. Nakatsui will discuss the best treatment plan to achieve your desired results.

The sutures used in the Silhouette InstaLift are made of a biocompatible material called polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA). This material is safe, biodegradable, and has been used for many years.

It is unlikely that you will feel the sutures once they are placed. The sutures are designed to be discreet and are inserted in a way that minimizes discomfort. Any initial sensation usually subsides as the skin adjusts.

At our dermatology clinic, we can help address mild asymmetries by lifting and repositioning the facial tissues. During your consultation, we will assess your facial structure and discuss how the procedure can be customized to improve symmetry.

Preparation for the Silhouette InstaLift is minimal. It is advisable to avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications for a few days before the procedure to reduce the risk of bruising.

After the procedure, you should avoid strenuous activities, excessive facial movements, and sleeping on your face for at least a week. Avoid aggressively opening your mouth for a week. You should also refrain from facial massages and other skin treatments in the treated area during the initial recovery period.

Yes, thread lifts are suitable for all skin types and tones. Our dermatologist or one of our nurse injectors will evaluate your skin and overall health during your consultation to ensure the procedure is appropriate for you.

The Silhouette InstaLift uses unique sutures with bi-directional cones that provide better anchoring and lifting compared to traditional thread lifts. This advanced technology not only offers immediate lift but also promotes collagen production for long-term benefits.
