Silhouette InstaLift — Now at Dermatology Boutique
I now offer Silhouette InstaLift – one of the latest facial rejuvenation procedures using micro-suspension technology. Perhaps you’ve read about it in a magazine or seen it on TV, like this show below:
Sagging skin is a major contributor to an aged and tired appearance. Silhouette InstaLift is a minimally invasive, in-office procedure to re-contour your mid-face by lifting the deeper layers of your skin for a more youthful appearance.
I can answer all of your questions about the procedure and create a treatment plan to ensure you achieve the natural-looking results you desire.

Silhouette InstaLift sutures lift the deeper layers of the skin in your mid-face or cheek area
Silhouette InstaLift is FDA-cleared and made from a well-known polymer that is frequently used in medical devices and is well tolerated by the body.
Treatment pricing varies depending on the patient’s needs and the number of sutures required. The average range is $850 to $2,500.
Are you a candidate for an InstaLift? If you want to refresh your appearance without major surgery, injections, or lasers, this might be the new and unique technology for you to lift sagging facial skin or jowls. Suitable candidates have good skin quality, with moderate sagging of the skin in the mid-face. The skin should not be too thick/heavy or too thin.
During a short in-office procedure, I will insert the patented Silhouette InstaLift sutures to lift the deeper layers of the skin in your mid-face or cheek area. As you see in the photo, I first mark the insertion and exit points on your face with a marker.
The treatment does not require general anesthesia, but I will give you local anesthesia so you won’t feel a thing.
The procedure takes approximately 45 minutes. You will see immediate lifting with a volume increase over time and recovery time is minimal.
The unique Silhouette InstaLift sutures are naturally absorbed by your body over time and stimulate the production of collagen to aid in healthy skin renewal for natural looking, long lasting results.
Above, my patient’s jawline is tightened and the InstaLift also lessened the lines around her mouth.

Nova Threads! New and improved.
“Threads” have been around for a few years, but recently the thread technology has been improved. The threads are now made of suture material, which eventually dissolves. The thread is hooked to a needle. I make a hole with a cannula (a very tiny tube) and guide the thread in with the needle to “hook” the skin where the patient desires a lift.
The new threads have many benefits:
- Good for fine lines like the lipstick lines above the lips
- Some threads pull up and create lift, like in jawline or neck, can be put in brows to lift
- Threads create immediate lift and stimulate collagen
The new threads are a fabulous tool for me to help patients with their concerns, and the threads are also very affordable! Inserted in the top layer of skin on your face, chest, arms or legs, threads give a youthful lift. My patients love the results.
Here are some videos where I’m demonstrating the procedure with Nova Threads:
