Silhouette Instalift in Issaquah, WA

At SHADe in Issaquah, Silhouette Instalift® is a popular facial rejuvenation treatment among patients who want to achieve a more refreshed and youthful look without undergoing cosmetic surgery. Sherisse Hill, RN, MSN, ARNP, FNP(C) is our renowned provider of Silhouette Instalift® who provides beautiful, natural-looking results with this minimally invasive treatment.

What Is Silhouette Instalift®?

Silhouette Instalift® is a thread lifting treatment that involves the use of biodegradable suture material to lift and refine facial contours. In addition to immediate lifting effects, Silhouette Instalift® works long term to firm and plump the skin by promoting collagen production.

Am I a Candidate for Silhouette Instalift®?

Candidates for Silhouette Instalift® can be patients of many ages who are concerned about mild to moderate facial aging in the lower face and mid-face. Sherisse can determine if Silhouette Instalift® is the optimal treatment approach for you during your initial consultation.

What to Expect During a Silhouette Instalift® Procedure

Sherisse will perform your Silhouette Instalift® procedure on-site at our state-of-the-art practice in Issaquah. Treatments usually take about 45 minutes.

To begin, local anesthesia will be administered to numb the treatment site. Once the treatment area is numb, a needle is used to place the specialized suture threads just under the surface of the skin. The threads are then gently pulled taut to lift drooping tissue, restoring more youthful contours.

What to Expect After Silhouette Instalift®

Silhouette Instalift® is a minimal downtime treatment. Patients may experience mild swelling, bruising, and/or soreness post-treatment. These symptoms typically subside within a few days.

Sherisse will provide detailed aftercare instructions for you to follow to encourage expedient healing and optimal results. These instructions will include how to cleanse the area, when you can resume your normal skincare routine and apply make-up, and how to manage any post-treatment discomfort. You will also be advised to avoid intense physical activity for about a week after your treatment.

Silhouette Instalift® Results

The lifting effects of Silhouette Instalift® are noticeable right away. Ongoing improvements in skin tone and texture can be expected in the months following your procedure as collagen production increases. Silhouette Instalift® results can last up to two years.

What is the Cost of Silhouette Instalift at Sherisse Hill Aesthetic Derm?

The cost of Silhouette Instalift at Sherisse Hill Aesthetic Derm ranges from $3,000 to $6,000 per session, depending on the areas treated and the number of sutures required. This minimally invasive treatment provides immediate lifting results and stimulates collagen for long-term rejuvenation.

FAQs about Silhouette Instalift®

How is the Silhouette Instalift procedure performed?

K
L

During the in-office procedure, a specially-trained physician will begin by marking the areas of desired lift on the patient. He/she will then gently insert a needle to a depth of 5mm and guide it through the subcutaneous tissue of the mid-face and extract at each bi-directional exit point. The sutures have bi-directional absorbable cones that hold them in place. The treatment is generally well tolerated by patients and takes approximately 45 minutes.

Is general anesthesia required?

K
L

No. Your physician will only use a local anesthetic to numb the area before inserting the sutures.

How is Silhouette Instalift different from thread lifts?

K
L

Silhouette InstaLift is an entirely new technology and procedure. Rather than just repositioning the skin, Silhouette InstaLift now focuses on the underlying layers of the skin, because that is what causes sagging. Another important advance is that the sutures are not permanent; they are absorbed by the body over time. As they are absorbed, they stimulate collagen renewal, which helps achieve a younger, natural look.

How long does Silhouette InstaLift® last?

K
L

You may notice a youthful-looking appearance that continues to improve over 6 months following treatment with long-term results lasting up to 2 years.

Who is a good candidate for Silhouette InstaLift®?

K
L

As with all treatments, be sure to ask your provider if InstaLift is right for you. InstaLift is most often recommended for women seeking a rejuvenated, yet natural-looking appearance, as well as experiencing a loss of elasticity/sagging skin and loss of volume in the mid-face.

Women looking for an immediate lift while adding volume over time. In fact, they may have previously received cosmetic injectables. However, they don’t feel ready for surgery. While they have good skin quality, they also notice their nasolabial folds and/or sagging in their cheeks.

I truly can’t imagine where my mental and physical health would be without Sherisse and the entire team at SHADe. I’m so fortunate to have found such a wonderful place. They are super responsive, proactive, and I never have any doubt that my best interests are at the core of what they do. I’ve recommended them to multiple friends and family, and I’m so thankful for their care.

I traveled from Philadelphia to Seattle just to see Sheriess Hill at Shade, and it was absolutely worth it. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and really listens. No one at home was able to address my concerns, but she did. I felt cared for, not rushed. Honestly, she felt like family. I’ll be back and I’ve already planned my next visit. Highly recommend.

I’ve been going to SHADe for nearly two years and have gotten multiple kinds of services. This is the longest I’ve ever worked with an aesthetic derm because this is the best care I’ve received after working with many other providers. Every appointment has been a great experience - punctual, every is super sweet and professional, and I’ve seen measurable improvements every step of the way. Sherisse and her team are so kind and patient with questions. I always feel like I’m in good hands.

I’ve had such a great experience here so far! The owner Sherisse has the best energy! I’ve worked with both her and Kira who are both super friendly and also very knowledgable with their treatments. The entire staff & front desk make you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in! I feel like I’m just hanging out with friends during my time there. I’ve only had 2 sessions so far, so I’m still early in my process, but I do notice small improvements after each visit already. I feel like I’m on the right plan for my skin and really trust their expertise. I’m excited to see the results continue to build! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a personalized skin approach!

I’ve been going to Shade for about a year now, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made for my skincare. The space is always spotless, relaxing, and welcoming, which makes every visit such a pleasant experience. What I appreciate most is that they genuinely care about their clients. They listen to your concerns, take your feedback seriously, and never make you feel like just another appointment. Their service is consistently thoughtful and professional. I first started seeing Sarah before she left for nursing school, and she was truly one of the best estheticians I’ve ever had. She was knowledgeable, gentle, and always made me feel comfortable. Now I’ve been seeing Kira for my Hydrafacial and Glass Lift facials, and she has been wonderful. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, explains everything she’s doing, and always tailors the treatment to what my skin needs. She genuinely wants you to leave happy with the results. I highly recommend Shade to anyone looking for quality skincare treatments and exceptional service. You can tell they truly care about their clients, and that’s what keeps me coming back.
