Skin Tightening

As you age, the production of collagen gets lower and lower, your cheeks begin to sag and, overall, the skin loses its firmness. Your lower face skin also begins sagging, losing facial structure.

Facelift surgery is generally a great option to fix this problem, but not everyone wants to commit to surgery. As an alternative, people can opt for Silhouette InstaLift®, a procedure that uses threads to reposition the skin. At Allure Image, we can provide Silhouette InstaLift® to achieve a more lifted and youthful look.

Candidates

The perfect candidate for Silhouette InstaLift® is someone who notices the early aging signs. This procedure is generally not recommended if you have deep wrinkles, as it may not be as effective. For you to benefit the most from the Silhouette InstaLift® procedure, your purpose should be a refreshed look. You should have good skin quality that still maintains some elasticity, along with mild to moderate sagging. It is usually recommended for those who have a tired look as a result of aging.The ideal candidate is also someone who wants to experience the effects of a facelift, without actually committing to surgery. However, keep in mind that people with very thick or thin skin may not be ideal candidates for the procedure. A consultation is necessary to determine whether this procedure is the right choice for your needs or not.

Silhouette InstaLift® is generally customizable for every patient’s needs. During the procedure, sutures will be added to the fat layers on the sides of your face, repositioning the skin. When the sutures are inserted, they will go from a lower to a higher point so that they can support your face’s natural contour. The threads will offer immediate natural contouring as your skin is lifted. However, the effects will keep improving in the next few months. The small wounds caused by the thread will trigger your body’s natural collagen production. This will help give your skin more support and firmness, providing longer-term results. The Poly Lactic-co-Glycolic Acid (PLGA) biodegradable sutures are dissolvable with time, and you don’t need to have them removed. Once the threads are absorbed into the skin, your new elastin and collagen production will act as the holder instead to provide more natural results. Silhouette InstaLift® procedures will take about 30 to 45 minutes to be completed in the office. Anesthetic is generally used in the treated area, with the entry and exit points being outlined for more accuracy. Once the sutures are in the designated area, a sweeping massage will be applied so that the tissue is locked into its place.

With Silhouette InstaLift®, the potential for downtime is minimal and most patients can be socially presentable after getting out of the doctor’s office. However, you may go through a series of side effects for the next couple of days. This is why it is recommended to take a bit of time off to rest and stay out of the sun. The most common thing you will notice is redness and swelling, which usually goes away within 48 hours. Refrain from any strenuous workouts for the next 24 hours, and do not touch the sutures if your hands aren’t clean. Cosmetics should be avoided on the first day, but you may start using them on the next day. Any soreness or pain can easily be handled with over-the-counter pain medication. Also, do not worry if you notice skin irregularities or dimples at the entry points because they will no longer be visible as the thread begins to dissolve.

Patients can see the results right after the procedure. Once the sutures are locked in place, you will begin noticing a slight lifting effect, especially around the jawline. That being said, the results may still be concealed by the redness and potential thread sighting underneath your skin. The actual results should be visible within two to three months after getting the procedure. As the body heals, it will produce more collagen, which will add to the support of your features. The sutures should be absorbed in about four to six months, after which you can look forward to enjoying the full benefits of the procedure. These results can last for up to two years. However, as collagen production naturally slows at some point, you might need to opt for maintenance sessions, and Allure Image recommends you reapply the threads once every 18 months. Before that, make sure to take good care of your skin by wearing sunblock and having a good skincare routine.

Skin Tightening

Also known as J-Plasma, Renuvion® is an advanced sub-dermal contraction procedure that combines helium plasma and RF energy.

Rather than risk overheating a large area of skin, Renuvion® targets the speficic treatment area to achieve optimal contraction without injury to surrounding tissue.

What will the results be?

We know the aging process can’t be stopped, but through the use of energy devices, like Renuvion®, we know it is possible to contract soft tissues and start the collagen rebuilding process known as neocollagensis. This process takes 6-9 months which is why effects will improve over time. Renuvion® is one of the latest game-changing technologies with early data showing results lasting up to 2.5 years.

During the procedure the Renuvion® energy is applied underneath the skin, heating the collagen and other structures to the temperatures needed for optimal tissue contraction. This heating is done quickly and the tissue is cooled back to baseline in less than 1 second.

Patients who undergo a Renuvion® skin tightening procedure will experience light bruising and swelling, but this usually fades within a week. Most patients are back to their normal schedules within two to three days.

You will start to see results within a few days as swelling subsides, but you will not see full results for six to nine months as it takes this long for collagen to be stimulated.

Typically, patients only need one or two treatments to achieve their desired results and these results are relatively permanent. In fact, it is estimated that the treatment of the face and neck will last a minimum of 5 years, especially with good skincare following the procedure.

Skin Tightening

A procedure for improving the appearance of aging skin through tightening and increasing collagen production over a period of time.

ThermiSmooth® therapy is one of a revolutionary new class of technologies to revitalize and smooth sagging skin without surgery, without pain, and without a recovery period. If you want to ward off the effects of aging, ThermiSmooth® treatments may be the answer.

ThermiSmooth® is used to rejuvenate almost any area of the face and reduces the appearance of saggy bags under the eyes, as well as lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin around the mouth, forehead, eyelids, and neck.

What will the results be?

Most patients will follow through a series of 3-6 applications for ThermiSmooth Face and 4-6 applications for ThermiSmooth® Body to see their desired results. Treatments are applied over a 6-8 week timespan. After each application, patients will see a decrease in fat and an increase in the firmness of the face and skin.

After applying a small amount of coupling gel, the ThermiSmooth® handpiece is applied to the skin’s surface. The Thermi250™ system is set to a specific target temperature (i.e.., 42°C – 45°C). The hand piece is gently moved in a sweeping or circular fashion while gradually heating up the skin surface. As the skin’s temperature rises to the targeted temperature, the Thermi250™computer automatically adjusts the energy output to ensure precision of heating. A small zone is treated for about 5 minutes to achieve the goal of sustained heating to the target tissues. Treatments are repeated several times to achieve the desired cosmetic result.

ThermiSmooth® is a completely non-invasive procedure that is FDA cleared and results in no downtime. Patients generally experience mild redness which typically dissipates within a few hours. You may resume normal activites right after your procedure is finished.

You may notice changes immediately after treatment, but it typically takes three to six months and up to 10 months before you see complete results depending on your treatment program and goals.

The benefits of ThermiSmooth® can last a year or more.
