Instalift

With its innovative approach to non-surgical facelifts, InstaLift offers immediate and visible results without the risks or downtime associated with traditional surgery. If you want to lift sagging skin and restore youthful contours to your midface, jowls, or cheeks, InstaLift provides a scientifically advanced solution with collagen-boosting benefits. For enhanced results, many patients combine InstaLift with Face and neck Skin Tightening treatments to further improve skin elasticity and firmness in the lower face and neck areas.

What Is InstaLift?

InstaLift is a cutting-edge, FDA-cleared non-surgical facelift procedure designed to elevate and tighten sagging skin, particularly in the midface thread lift and jawline. It provides a minimally invasive alternative to traditional facelift surgery by using dissolvable sutures embedded with bidirectional cones to reposition the underlying facial tissue and support natural volume. For those seeking enhanced firmness and contour without surgery, InstaLift works exceptionally well when combined with Skin Tightening treatments to improve skin elasticity and overall facial rejuvenation further.

The treatment is ideal for individuals who want to correct mild to moderate skin laxity without undergoing a full surgical procedure. Whether you're experiencing early signs of aging or just want to enhance your facial structure, InstaLift can effectively rejuvenate your appearance with little to no downtime. It can also complement other contouring treatments like those found on our Double Chin page, offering a non-invasive solution to redefine your jawline and reduce the appearance of excess fat beneath the chin.

The Science of InstaLift

Unlike surface-level treatments that only address the skin’s exterior, InstaLift works beneath the surface to realign the facial structure. The sutures used in InstaLift are made from polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), a biocompatible material commonly used in medical devices. For patients looking to reduce submental fullness, Kybella Treatment offers a non-surgical solution to dissolve fat beneath the chin and enhance facial contours.

Along these sutures are tiny, bidirectional cones anchoring the subcutaneous tissue threads. This dual function:

• Provides an instant lift
• Stimulates collagen production over time

This collagen stimulation makes InstaLift a long-term solution for facial rejuvenation, not just a lifting treatment.

By combining immediate lifting with biological stimulation, InstaLift provides a midface lift without surgery, making it an excellent choice for patients seeking visible, natural-looking results.

Advantages of InstaLift

Quick Results

One of InstaLift's standout benefits is its ability to deliver visible lifting results immediately after the procedure. Patients often report looking noticeably younger, more awake, and refreshed right after their appointment. The lift is subtle yet effective because it targets the deeper layers of the skin.

Whether you’re preparing for an important event or just want to look rejuvenated with minimal effort, a jawline lift instantly boosts confidence and appearance.

Non-Surgical Nature

Unlike traditional facelifts, which involve significant downtime, scarring, and recovery, InstaLift is a non-surgical facelift solution that can be performed right in the doctor’s office. There’s no need for general anesthesia, cutting, or stitches.

This makes it a fantastic option for people who:

• Want to avoid the risks of surgery
• Have busy schedules and can't afford extended downtime
• Prefer a more natural and subtle lift.

You can enjoy the benefits of a midface lift without surgery, with significantly less discomfort and expense.

Increasing Collagen

InstaLift isn’t just about lifting, it’s also about skin renewal. The insertion of the PLGA sutures triggers your skin to produce new collagen, a vital protein responsible for skin firmness and elasticity.

As collagen builds up over the following months, your skin looks healthier, tighter, and more youthful. This is why many patients continue to experience improvements long after the sutures have dissolved.

The InstaLift Experience

Consultation and Customization

Your InstaLift journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at West Point Aesthetic Center in Encinitas or Fontana. During this personalized session, our medical professionals will assess your skin's elasticity, facial structure, and aesthetic goals.

We will:

• Determine if InstaLift is the right treatment for you
• Design a customized treatment plan targeting your specific concerns.
• Discuss what results you can realistically expect.

If you’re looking for a non-surgical facelift or a midface lift without surgery, this consultation will help you determine the best option for you.

The Process

The InstaLift procedure is performed in-office and typically takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the number of sutures used and the areas treated.

Here’s what to expect:

• A local anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort
• The dissolvable sutures are inserted under the skin using a thin needle.
• The cones on the sutures anchor and gently lift the tissue
• No incisions or stitches are required.

Most patients describe the procedure as comfortable, with only mild pressure or tugging during insertion.

Healing and Outcomes

Recovery from InstaLift is relatively quick. Since it is a minimally invasive procedure, there is:

• Minimal bruising or swelling
• No need for downtime
• No bandages or visible scarring

Most patients can return to normal activities the same day or the day after.

While the lifting effect is visible immediately, the full results develop gradually over 3 to 6 months as your body produces more collagen. This means your skin will look better over time, not just right after the procedure.

What Makes InstaLift Special?

Results That Seem Natural

Unlike some procedures that result in a tight or artificial look, InstaLift creates subtle and natural-looking changes. It restores youthful contours to your cheeks and jawline without compromising facial expression. You’ll look like yourself, just more refreshed, lifted, and confident.

Extended-Duration Results

One of the most common questions patients ask is: How long does InstaLift last? Typically, InstaLift results can last 12 to 18 months, depending on factors like age, skin type, and lifestyle. The lifting threads eventually dissolve, but the collagen built during that time extends the rejuvenation effect well beyond the life of the sutures.

To maintain results, some patients opt for touch-up treatments after 12–15 months, particularly when combined with complementary treatments such as Botox or dermal fillers.
