THE MAJOR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SILHOUETTE INSTALIFT AND NOVATHREAD

In the past, the only way to address problems caused by facial skin laxity was
invasive and extensive facelift surgery. However, not every patient needs or
wants to commit to a surgical procedure to lift and tighten their skin. Thread
lifts can bridge the gap between noninvasive facial rejuvenation and facelift
surgery by providing a subtle, yet visible lift in the skin while stimulating
collagen production. 

Read on to learn the significant differences between Silhouette InstaLift and
NovaThread procedures to determine which thread lift is the right option for
your sagging facial skin. 

 


GETTING TO KNOW NOVATHREADS

A thread lift is a nonsurgical alternative to a facelift that uses biocompatible
sutures to address skin laxity by lifting the skin and stimulating new collagen.
The body absorbs NovaThreads in four to six months. Threads can be used in
different ways to create both lifting and rejuvenating effects within the skin.
Threads are used primarily in the face, but can also be utilized in other
applications including the knees and arms. 

 


NOVATHREAD TREATMENT TIME

This quick office procedure takes only 30-45 minutes for the entire process to
be performed, and a minimal amount of local anesthesia is required. Patients can
return to their typical everyday activities immediately following NovaThread
treatment with no necessary downtime. 

 


LONGEVITY OF RESULTS

After undergoing NovaThread, patients can experience a lifted appearance with
improved facial contouring for one year or longer. On average, NovaThreads
deliver ultimate results with effects lasting around six to 12 months and will
require additional treatments to maintain results. 

 


WHAT IS SILHOUETTE INSTALIFT?

Silhouette InstaLift is a non-surgical, in-office procedure that utilizes
threads composed of absorbable (dissolving) suture material to uniquely lift
sagging skin on the face and jawline. The InstaLift treatment is tailored to
each patient to address their specific skin laxity. InstaLift sutures are placed
on each side of the face to create a lifting effect. The unique “cones” lock and
lift the suture in place, creating an instant lift. Following the procedure,
your skin will begin to tighten both immediately and over a three to six month
period. 

 


INSTALIFT TREATMENT TIME

The InstaLift treatment takes about 30-45 minutes to complete with minimal
discomfort. Local numbing will be administered where the sutures will enter and
exit the skin. After the surface is numb, the InstaLift sutures and cones are
locked into place by gently massaging and sweeps of the skin to create an
immediate lifting effect. 

 

There is minimal to no downtime associated with the Silhouette InstaLift
procedure. While individual results may vary, most patients will experience
minimal to mild soreness for a day or two following treatment. Most patients are
able to resume daily social activities within 24-48 hours. 

 


LONGEVITY OF RESULTS

Immediately following the procedure, you will experience an instant lifting
effect following the placement of InstaLift sutures. However, results will
continue to improve for approximately three to six months as the suture and
cones are naturally broken down and eliminated by the body. Collagen production
will be stimulated in the areas of placement. Results vary by patient, but on
average, the duration of skin tightening results following the Silhouette
InstaLift procedure lasts for 12-18 months. 

 

MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR RESULTS 

Because thread lifts are a low-risk procedure with essentially a non-existant
recovery time, it’s possible to combine them with other nonsurgical procedures
to create more noticeable results. Pairing your thread lift with a treatment
like Ultherapy will enable you to maximize your overall amount of skin firming
to develop a more significant lifting effect. 

Ultherapy uses gentle pulses of ultrasound energy to heat the connective tissues
beneath the skin, thereby stimulating your natural collagen production. By
combining different nonsurgical anti-aging treatments, patients can achieve a
noticeable change in their appearance without the associated recovery time of
extensive surgery.

Accessibility StatementCompliance status

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone
and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the broadest
possible audience, regardless of ability.

To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web
Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA
level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people
with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us
ensure that the website is accessible to blind people, people with motor
impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as
accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that
allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user
interface) and design it to their personal needs.

Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the
background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application
remediates the website’s HTML, adapts its functionality and behavior for
screen-readers used by blind users, and for keyboard functions used by
individuals with motor impairments.

If you wish to contact the website’s owner please use the website's form

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet
Applications) technique, alongside various behavioral changes, to ensure blind
users visiting with screen-readers can read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s
functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they
immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can
browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of
the most important screen-reader requirements:

 1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a process that learns the website’s
    components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when
    updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with
    meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide
    accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons,
    search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs;
    element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. 
    
    Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images. It
    provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based
    description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not
    described. It will also extract texts embedded within the image using an OCR
    (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader
    adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard
    combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn
    the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
    
    These adjustments are compatible with popular screen readers such as JAWS,
    NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.
    
    
 2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the
    website’s HTML and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the
    website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the
    website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow
    keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key,
    navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill
    them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.
    
    Additionally, keyboard users will find content-skip menus available at any
    time by clicking Alt+2, or as the first element of the site while navigating
    with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by
    moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, not allowing
    the focus to drift outside.
    
    Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F”
    (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments
 1. Font adjustments – users can increase and decrease its size, change its
    family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
 2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as
    light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color
    schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds with over seven different coloring
    options.
 3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click
    of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs,
    and CSS flashing transitions.
 4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize essential elements such
    as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered
    elements only.
 5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other
    issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the
    entire website instantly.
 6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine linked to Wikipedia and
    Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of
    phrases, initials, slang, and others.
 7. Additional functions – we allow users to change cursor color and size, use a
    printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

Assistive technology and browser compatibility

We aim to support as many browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so
our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as
possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major
systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share, including Google
Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS, and NVDA
(screen readers), both for Windows and MAC users.

Notes, comments, and feedback

Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their
needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are
in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological
solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our
accessibility, adding, updating, improving its options and features, and
developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal
level of accessibility following technological advancements. If you wish to
contact the website’s owner, please use the website's form
