In the battle against signs of aging, such as jowls, sagging skin and the loss of facial volume, a facelift used to be your only option. But not everyone wants to commit to a surgical procedure or has the time necessary for recovery. Now, a facelift is not your only option.
Silhouette InstaLift™ is a non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatment that provides immediate results with minimal downtime. Knowing what to expect after this procedure can help you better understand and prepare for the recovery and your new look.
Post-Procedure Care
After your InstaLift procedure, you can expect some swelling and bruising, but this typically resolves within a few days. At the insertion points, your skin may show a slight depression or irregularity but should resolve shortly after the procedure. With head movement, you may feel a pulling sensation in your face for the first few days.
Following your surgeon’s aftercare instructions can help to imrpove your recovery and your results.
Silhouette InstaLiftdoes not require the extensive recovery experienced with a facelift. However, you will still need to follow some post-procedure instructions to maximize your results. These can include:
- Applying cold packs to your face to help minimize swelling
- Refrain from makeup for at least 24 hours and longer if possible
- Sleep face up with your head elevated for the first week following your procedure
- Refrain from deep cleaning or excessive rubbing of the face for the first five days
- Limit neck and facial movements for two weeks following the procedure. This can include smiling, excessive chewing and talking. Following a soft diet for the first two weeks can help
- Avoid exposure to the sun or UV light for the first two weeks
Results Continue to Improve Over Time
With Silhouette InstaLift, you can expect to see immediate results. Because this procedure helps to naturally stimulate collagen production, your results continue to improve with time, resulting in more vibrant skin texture and appearance.
While a traditional facelift can offer results for years, the Silhouette InstaLift provides great results for up to 18 months. To make your new appearance last as long as possible, avoid sun exposure and always wear sunscreen, refrain from smoking and follow your cosmetic surgeon’s skincare recommendations. The good news is you can get Silhouette InstaLift every 18 months to maintain a lifted and youthful appearance.
