Silhouette Soft Thread Lift

Silhouette Soft is an innovative technology with the unique double effect of lifting and regenerating facial skin to give gradual and natural results. It uses re-absorbable sutures (as with dissolvable stitches in surgery) with tiny, re-absorbable bidirectional cones that hold the suture in place. The suture thread is made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and is gently drawn through the skin with a very fine needle. It is absorbed by the body over 18-24 months.

Silhouette Soft Thread Lifting can be used for:

• Facial Contouring: Your facial contour is redefined, your cheeks look fuller and your skin regains its firmness.
• Lower Jaw area: Your facial contour regains a defined shape.
• Cheeks and Cheekbones: Your cheeks look fuller, defined and nasolabial folds are diminished.
• Eyebrows: Your eyes become more open as the outer edge of your eyebrows are raised.
• Neck: The skin on your neck regains its tone, looks and becomes smoother.

This treatment is suitable for both women and men. The ideal patient is 30-60 years old, without either excessively loose or severe drooping in the neck, mid face, jowls or brow areas.

We will discuss the treatment for the best results for your age as Silhouette Soft Thread Lifting can be combined with fillers including collagen stimulating fillers, anti-wrinkle injections, and skin tightening and lifting treatments such as Thermage® CPT and Ultherapy®.

There is an immediate natural lifting effect followed by a progressive repositioning and regenerative action over 18 months.

The effect lasts up to 18 months depending on your age, lifestyle and degree of skin laxity.

Silhouette Soft Thread Lifting takes just 60 minutes with a local anaesthetic.

After administering a small local anaesthetic to the entry points, your skilled practitioner inserts re-absorbable sutures under the skin using a fine needle, without the need for incisions. The bidirectional cones hold the suture in place, with three to five sutures typically used based on the treatment area.

Your practitioner then gently shapes the tissue for a discreet lifting effect, cutting off the non-inserted ends.

We’ll provide detailed explanations to ensure you feel at ease on the day of your treatment, knowing you’re in expert hands.

If you experience mild to moderate sagging, you likely qualify as a suitable candidate for this treatment. However, please note that we cannot proceed with the procedure if you are pregnant, currently undergoing dental treatments, have permanent facial implants, or have an underlying autoimmune disease.

Silhouette Soft uses a natural component – poly-L-lactic acid (or (PLLA) – that is biocompatible and fully re-absorbable and successfully proven in a number of medical and pharmaceutical fields, such as suture thread, orthopaedic pins, and screws and nails for bone fractures. In three years, more than 400,000 Silhouette Soft treatments have been carried out worldwide.

Silhouette Soft Thread Lifting can only be performed by a doctor who has been trained and certified on Silhouette Soft sutures. At The Cosmetic Skin Clinic, we have the most experienced practitioners in the UK, who are highly qualified and travel the world lecturing and teaching other doctors in the thread lift procedure.

The Silhouette Soft Thread Lifting treatment is a safe procedure, suitable for all skin types. Some common side effects may include redness, mild swelling, discomfort, and bruising. This will be discussed in detail in your consultation.

This is a non-invasive treatment and no incision is necessary. Treatment takes up to 60 minutes under local anaesthetic and only one procedure is needed. Your normal activities will not be affected. Patients usually notice a bit of swelling in the treated area for the remainder of the day after they’ve been treated and by day 3 all other symptoms should subside as the local anaesthetic effects wear off. After 7-10 days from the treatment day, the skin will have fully recovered.
