Here’s a full breakdown of the most frequently asked questions about Silhouette InstaLift threadlifts.
What Is a Threadlift?
A threadlift is a non-surgical procedure that uses dissolvable threads placed under the skin to lift and reposition sagging tissue.
The Silhouette InstaLift uses unique threads made with PLGA (polylactic-co-glycolic acid) and tiny bi-directional cones that anchor into the skin. These threads not only lift but also act as a biostimulator: they stimulate collagen over time, improving skin quality and firmness.
What Areas Can Be Treated With Silhouette InstaLift?
Threadlifts are commonly used to lift and define:
-
Cheeks
-
Jawline (jowls)
-
Lower face
-
Nasolabial folds
-
Brows (in some cases)
If you’ve noticed mild to moderate sagging but aren’t ready for a surgical facelift, threadlifts can offer a great middle-ground solution.
How Long Does a Threadlift Last?
While results vary, most clients enjoy a visible lift for 12 to 18 months. The threads dissolve naturally over 18-24 months during which the collagen stimulation can maintain firmness even after the threads have been absorbed. Clients receive both the instant lift and continued collagen production from the threads biostimulator properties. This is ideal for those who want visible lifting results with low maintenance compared to all other noninvasive procedures.
Is the Procedure Painful?
A local anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort. Most clients report a mild pressure or tugging sensation, but not pain during placement and quite tolerable. The entire procedure typically takes 60 minutes.
What Is the Downtime After a Silhouette InstaLift?
One of the biggest advantages of threadlifts is minimal downtime:
-
Mild swelling and bruising for 2–7 days (your natural healing time)
-
Temporary tightness or puckering (resolves quickly) usually 48 hours
-
Most clients return to normal activities within a day or two
We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise or facial massages for about 7–10 days after treatment. And avoid taking omega3s or any blood thinners not prescribed by your doctor at least a week prior for better healing.
Is Silhouette InstaLift Safe?
Yes. It’s FDA-cleared and Health Canada-approved, and the materials used (PLGA) are biocompatible and biodegradable. Side effects are generally mild and temporary.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Threadlift?
Ideal candidates include:
-
Adults in their 30s to 60s with mild to moderate skin laxity
-
Those seeking a subtle, natural lift without surgery
-
People who want minimal downtime and gradual collagen stimulation
A consultation at Skinfidelity Mississauga or Vaughan can determine if you’re a good fit.
How Is a Threadlift Different From Dermal Fillers or Botox?
-
Threadlifts physically lift and reposition skin into a restored higher position
-
Fillers add volume to restore facial fat loss
-
Botox softens dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement
These popular treatments can complement each other beautifully depending on your goals, concerns and areas of concern but we do have more many more treatment options and alternatives available.
How Much Does a Threadlift Cost in Mississauga or Vaughan?
Pricing depends on how many threads are used and which areas are being treated and how many sessions required to achieve desired results. On average, threadlift treatments range from $1,200 to $3,000. Maintenance is often on the lower end.
