Threads, particularly Silhouette Instalift, are presented as a solution for sagging skin, offering an alternative when Botox and fillers are insufficient and a facelift is not desired. These threads provide more skin tightening than typical lasers. The Silhouette Instalift procedure takes about an hour with minimal downtime, potentially some bruising from numbing medicine. An immediate lift is visible, which continues to improve over three months. The quality of the skin also enhances for up to a year. The effects last for one to two years and the procedure can be repeated. While not a surgical facelift, it offers an instant lifting effect.
