Silhouette InstaLift® in Kelowna

Silhouette InstaLift® is a minimally invasive lifting treatment that repositions sagging facial tissue and restores youthful contours without surgery. It uses absorbable sutures made from poly-L-lactic acid and glycolide, materials that safely dissolve in the body over time. The sutures feature small, bi-directional cones that lift and secure skin in a higher position while stimulating natural collagen production. 

This dual-action process provides both immediate lift and gradual tightening as collagen rebuilds over the following months. The procedure is performed in-office under local anesthetic and typically takes less than an hour. At Kelowna Hills, our physician-led team uses advanced techniques to ensure precision, symmetry, and natural-looking outcomes that enhance your facial harmony.

Silhouette InstaLift® is designed to address mild to moderate skin laxity in key facial areas where sagging is most visible. Common treatment areas include the midface, cheeks, jawline, jowls, and lower face, where loss of collagen leads to drooping or hollowing. The treatment can also enhance facial definition and contour by repositioning tissue higher on the face.

In some cases, InstaLift® can complement other treatments such as Dermal Fillers or Sculptra® to restore both lift and volume. The results are natural and subtle, avoiding the “pulled” look often associated with surgical lifts. At Kelowna Hills, our injectors customize each plan to your unique anatomy and desired level of rejuvenation for balanced, long-lasting results.

Unlike a surgical facelift, which involves incisions and a lengthy recovery, Silhouette InstaLift® offers lifting and tightening with no surgery or significant downtime. It also differs from fillers, which restore volume but don’t reposition tissue. InstaLift® mechanically lifts sagging skin while stimulating collagen to rebuild the skin’s natural support structure from within.

This makes it ideal for clients who want noticeable lift and rejuvenation but prefer a less invasive approach. Results develop gradually and last up to two years as new collagen forms. At Kelowna Hills, we often combine InstaLift® with other non-surgical treatments to create comprehensive, natural facial rejuvenation plans tailored to your needs.

You’ll notice an immediate lift and contour improvement right after your Silhouette InstaLift® treatment. Over the next several weeks, your body naturally produces collagen around the sutures, further tightening and firming the skin. This dual-phase effect provides both instant gratification and lasting rejuvenation. 

Full results typically appear within three months and can last up to two years or longer, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aging process. Maintenance treatments can be scheduled to preserve results and continue collagen stimulation. At Kelowna Hills, our team ensures each client receives a customized plan for enduring, natural-looking outcomes that evolve beautifully over time.

Absolutely. Silhouette InstaLift® pairs beautifully with other rejuvenating treatments such as Botox®, Dermal Fillers, or Sculptra® to enhance facial balance and refinement. While InstaLift® provides lift and collagen stimulation, complementary treatments can improve fine lines, restore volume, and refine skin texture. Combining treatments allows for a more complete and natural rejuvenation of the entire face.

We take into account your anatomy, lifestyle, and long-term maintenance to create results that are cohesive, elegant, and tailored just for you.

Yes, Silhouette InstaLift® is highly effective for men who want to correct mild to moderate skin laxity and achieve a more defined, youthful appearance. Many male clients appreciate that the treatment offers natural, subtle lift without the downtime or obvious changes of surgery. Common target areas for men include the jawline, cheeks, and midface, which can lose definition with age. 

Because InstaLift® stimulates collagen, results continue to improve gradually, enhancing firmness and structure over time. The procedure maintains masculine contours and delivers refreshed, confident results. At Kelowna Hills, our providers understand male facial anatomy and tailor every treatment to enhance natural strength, symmetry, and balance.
