Instalift and Sculptra with Dr. Steil Hinsdale, IL

Hi there! I have been meaning to write this review for a long time. I have been doing sculpture since I turned 46, I just started a new decade ( you can guess! ) and the last year I went one step further in keeping my own collagen going with Silhouette Instalifts. I originally only did my left side as that side was more lax, but then I added the other side for a total of 3 strings per side. I think using at least 3 is necessary to see substantial results and I am very pleased with how my skin continues to respond to the threads! ***YOU must know that this is not instant despite the name. It takes TIME TO WORK. Below are some photos in chronological order. Furthermore, Dr. Steil is truly the best!! I have been seeing her now for years and she is always so attentive, a wonderful listener and a TRUE artist with a needle. I do not let anyone else touch my face! I have rarely used HA fillers and the couple times I did they just metabolize super fast so sculpture and radiesse has been my go to's. I have done very minimal botox. Everyone is different but for me, despite taking some time to work, the collagen stimulants have given me the most natural look and have truly slowed the aging down. Most think I'm 10yrs younger then I am. Thank you Dr. Steil, I'm sure I'll be seeing you soon!

HI Annabel1, so sorry for this late reply, I did not have any threads under my chin. I had 3 threads on each side from roughly the corner of my mouth up to the temple area. I have done nothing under my eyes except use good serums. :)

How long did it take for you to notice improvement?

Hi Vagraphix, so sorry for this late reply, I would say I started to see improvement about the 4 month in. The name instalift is actually all wrong because there is nothing instant about it. the threads are made with sculpture and that takes time for your body to break it down and in this process collegen is built. Its been continually working for over a year now.
