Thread Lift in Houston TX

NovaThreads are absorbable threads that are absorbed by the body within four to six months after treatment. These threads may be plain or curved sutures, or contain tiny barbs that lift the skin. These threads once inserted into the skin, not only serve to gently pull the skin tighter, but also contributed to increased collagen production, improving skin tone at the cellular level.

NovaThreads may be used to create both lifting effects and skin rejuvenation through collagen production, and results last from six months to a year, so follow-up procedures must be repeated periodically in order to maintain optimal results.

When you look in the mirror, are you unsatisfied with the appearance of your mid-face? Perhaps you are bothered by lax or sagging skin in the cheek area or loss of youthful volume due to the natural aging process. If so, we have the treatment for you! Now offering Silhouette InstaLift in Houston, Bellaire, Katy, Pearland, and Sugar Land, Texas.

Silhouette InstaLift is an FDA-approved, non-surgical treatment that uses Micro-Suspension Technology™ to lift the facial skin, including sagging cheeks and deep nasolabial folds. It also boosts volume by stimulating natural collagen production over time through the use of micro-cones.

Micro-cones are placed in the deepest layer of the skin, which provides an instantaneous and lasting lift for over two years. These patented threads then are gradually absorbed by the body and stimulate collagen production over time for up to 2 years, so you can enjoy a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

Benefits

The benefits of Silhouette InstaLift include:

• Non-surgical and minimally invasive
• Minimal downtime
• Long-lasting results
• Lifts lax, sagging skin
• Restores youthful volume
• A boost in confidence

What to Expect

The Silhouette InstaLift treatment is performed in the office and takes less than one hour to complete. The treatment area will be cleansed, and a local anesthetic will be used to numb the mid-face area. Dr. Olga Bachilo will then mark the areas that she would like to target, and the Silhouette InstaLift sutures will be placed in the cheek and/or along the jawline. Once placed, the Silhouette InstaLift sutures and cones are “locked” in place with a gentle massage to create an immediate lifting effect.

There is minimal downtime, though patients may experience temporary swelling, bruising, pain, or mild soreness at the treatment site. Cold packs can be wrapped and applied to the skin, and acetaminophen may be taken to reduce swelling and discomfort. Most side effects dissipate within 24-48 hours. We advise that you avoid excessive exercise and movement, direct sunlight, and UV light exposure for two weeks. You should also avoid facial or facial massage and sauna for 3-4 weeks. For any questions or concerns regarding healing, feel free to reach out to our office at 713-766-4643!

A thread lift is an ideal preventative treatment on patients showing early signs of aging and is ideal for men and women between the ages of 30 and 60 whose skin is just starting to show signs of skin laxity and sagging. Those with more excessive sagging may require a traditional facelift.
