What Is InstaLift, and How Does It Work?

Our InstaLift is an advanced type of thread lift, a new anti-aging treatment approved by the FDA in 2015. It is the first minimally invasive method available for lifting and repositioning the subdermal (beneath the skin) tissues of the face. It helps replace lost volume in the cheeks and midface. The InstaLift technique uses resorbable suspension sutures with bidirectional cones.

While the sutures lift and reposition tissues underneath the skin, the bidirectional cones hold the sutures and tissues in a lifted position. Over time, the sutures and cones stimulate fibroblasts (cells in connective tissue that produce collagen and other fibers). This promotes collagen maturation (realigning of collagen along tension lines) to reposition the volume in the midface.

Dual-Action Procedure

InstaLift is one procedure with two actions. First comes the lifting action, with immediately visible, natural-looking results. Next is the gradual regenerative action as the sutures and cones promote the growth of natural collagen that has diminished due to age.

Who Is a Good Candidate for InstaLift?

InstaLift provides a new technology to lift sagging facial skin. This procedure may be the ideal treatment for women and men who want to rejuvenate their facial appearance without lasers, injections, or surgery. The best candidates for an InstaLift in Beverly Hills with Dr. Torkian are patients with good skin quality who have moderate sagging of the skin and tissue in the midface region.

How Is the InstaLift Beverly Hills Procedure Performed?

General anesthesia is not required for our InstaLift. This procedure may be performed in the doctor’s office in approximately 45 minutes using only a local anesthetic to numb the skin. The areas of the face to be lifted will be marked on your skin.

Then, the doctor will gently insert a needle with a suture to a depth of 5mm, guide it skillfully through the underlying tissue, and carefully extract it at a precise bidirectional exit point. Absorbable, bidirectional cones hold the sutures in place.

InstaLift Frequently Asked Questions

What does InstaLift treatment feel like?

InstaLift treatment typically feels like a series of minor pinches as the sutures are placed under the skin. Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure.

How are sutures placed in an InstaLift Beverly Hills procedure?

The sutures in an InstaLift Beverly Hills procedure are placed using a specialized technique that allows them to be inserted through small incisions without the need for general anesthesia.

What are InstaLift sutures made of?

InstaLift sutures are made of a biocompatible material that integrates safely with the body's tissues, providing support and lift while promoting natural collagen production.

How is InstaLift different from a thread lift?

InstaLift differs from a traditional thread lift in that it uses unique sutures designed to stimulate collagen production and provide longer-lasting results.

How do InstaLift results compare to dermal filler injections?

InstaLift results are generally more noticeable and longer-lasting compared to dermal filler injections, as the sutures lift and support the skin structure rather than just adding volume.

Can the InstaLift Beverly Hills procedure be performed in place of a facelift or neck lift?

While InstaLift can provide significant lifting results, it may not be a complete replacement for a facelift or neck lift, depending on individual patient needs and aesthetic goals.

Can the InstaLift Beverly Hills procedure be combined with other treatments?

Yes, the InstaLift Beverly Hills procedure can be combined with other treatments such as dermal fillers, Botox, and skin rejuvenation procedures to enhance overall results.

What is recovery like after an InstaLift Beverly Hills procedure?

Recovery after an InstaLift Beverly Hills procedure is typically quick, with most patients experiencing mild swelling and bruising that resolves within a week.

How soon can I resume physical activities after an InstaLift Beverly Hills procedure?

Most patients can resume light physical activities within a few days after their InstaLift Beverly Hills procedure, but strenuous activities should be avoided for at least two weeks.

How can the InstaLift Beverly Hills procedure improve facial appearance?

The InstaLift Beverly Hills procedure can improve facial appearance by lifting sagging skin, enhancing facial contours, and promoting a more youthful look.
