Tackling Facial Aging
Growing older is hard enough without having to deal with the stresses of lax skin, wrinkles, and lines. However, the moment you start to see the decline in your skin’s quality, the harder it is not to notice.
Skin aging is a multifactorial process that causes skin quality to deteriorate. It happens as a result of internal and external factors including the following. (1)
- Chronological Aging
- Photo-aging (Sun Damage)
- Hormonal Deficiency
- Environmental Factors
As time goes by, the signs of aging become more apparent on our faces. Fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin can leave us feeling less confident about our appearance. However, with advances in technology, there are now non-surgical facelift options available that can provide natural-looking results without the need for invasive procedures.
Why Does My Skin Look and Feel So Different Now I’m Older?
There are many reasons why the integrity of our skin declines so drastically as we age. One key change occurs in the makeup of the extracellular matrix (ECM), a vital scaffold that provides the skin with support. The ECM contains collagen and elastin, vital components that are responsible for the skin’s tensile strength and elasticity. As we age, skin collagen and elastin synthesis dwindle, decreasing by roughly 1% each year. This causes disorganization in the connective tissues of the dermis and the eventual emergence of wrinkles, lines, and skin sagging. (1)
Silhouette InstaLift
The Silhouette InstaLift is a minimally-invasive procedure that uses advanced thread lift technology to provide immediate lifting results and long-lasting effects. The treatment involves the use of biocompatible material, polylactic acid (PLLA), which is commonly used in medical implants and sutures due to its biocompatibility and effectiveness in stimulating collagen production. This helps to tighten and firm the skin, creating an elevated and youthful appearance.
How Does Silhouette Instalift Work?
Silhouette InstaLift utilizes PLLA cone technology, which ensures that the threads are firmly anchored to the skin, providing a more stable and secure lift. The absorbable sutures dissolve over time, leaving behind a foundation of collagen that helps to maintain the lifted effect.
Benefits of Silhouette InstaLift
- Immediate improvement in facial contours and sagging skin
- Increased confidence in your appearance
- No need for general anesthesia or extensive incisions
- Less downtime than traditional facelifts
- Long-lasting results that can last up to 2 years

FaceTite
Radiofrequency (RF) has become increasingly popular as a non-surgical option for patients looking to rejuvenate their face. One of its greatest benefits is that it can achieve non-ablative skin tightening. (2)
FaceTite is an advanced facial rejuvenation technology that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin and contour the face without surgery. This targeted treatment addresses subdermal adipose tissue and stimulates collagen production and elastin fibers, resulting in natural-looking, long-lasting results. The procedure requires only local anesthesia, and small incisions are made to allow for the thermal energy to be delivered to the targeted areas.
If you’re looking for a minimally-invasive procedure that can help you achieve a more youthful and refreshed facial appearance, consider FaceTite as an alternative to a facelift!
Why Choose FaceTite?
- It’s non-surgical: Unlike traditional facelifts, FaceTite is a non-surgical procedure that does not require any incisions or general anesthesia.
- There’s minimal downtime: Patients typically experience minimal swelling and bruising after the procedure and can resume normal activities within a few days.
- It provides natural-looking results: Dr. Abramson’s approach to FaceTite ensures that each patient achieves natural-looking results that enhance their unique features.
- It improves skin texture: FaceTite helps to improve the texture of the skin by stimulating collagen production, which gives the skin a more youthful appearance.
- It reduces wrinkles and sagging skin: FaceTite tightens and lifts the skin, reducing wrinkles and sagging skin in the face and neck area.
- It’s affordable: Compared to traditional facelifts, FaceTite is a more affordable option that delivers excellent results.
- There’s minimal scarring: The FaceTite procedure involves tiny incisions that are barely visible once healed, ensuring minimal scarring.
How Does FaceTite Work?
After administering anesthesia, Dr. Abramson makes tiny incisions in the skin and inserts a small probe under the surface. Radiofrequency energy is then delivered through the probe, heating up the skin and tissue and causing it to contract. As well as being less invasive than a traditional facelift, FaceTite procedures are also a lot shorter. A typical FaceTite takes around one hour to complete, compared to 3 hours or more for a facelift.

Patients seeking a minimally-invasive procedure to achieve effective facial rejuvenation can consider a non-surgical face lifting procedure. Typically, the best candidates for procedures like the Silhouette InstaLift and FaceTite have:
