Alternative Injectables

Silhouette Instalift:

Thread Lifts are a minimally invasive alternative to a traditional surgical facelift. This procedure immediately lifts the skin using ‘threads’ of filler like material, but also promotes long-term collagen production which gradually restores volume.

Bellafill:

Bellafill is a collagen-based filler that reduces the appearance of acne scars and is likely permanent.
