The Silhouette Thread Lift is a non-surgical facelift that combats symptoms of ageing. The treatment is designed to give firmer, smoother skin, fuller cheeks, and a more youthful complexion.
Silhouette Thread Lift is a minimally invasive alternative to cosmetic surgery that helps achieve discreet results of a facelift with minimal downtime. The Silhouette threads are biodegradable anchoring sutures to lift and reposition sagging tissue to reverse the effects of ageing. These threads contain a substance called polylactic acid which naturally boosts collagen production to give skin a healthy glow.
The Silhouette threads are sutures with absorbable cones on the thread, like barbs, which are inserted under a local anaesthetic by your doctor to a depth of about 3-5mm under the skin, using a fine needle, they will naturally dissolve over time. Once the suture is inserted, your doctor compresses the treated area to manipulate its shape for the desired lifting effect.
The excess thread, suture, is cut off. This is repeated on the other side of the face for a balanced effect. The regenerating effect of stimulated collagen production continues after the sutures have dissolved for extended benefits beyond the tightening and lift effects of the Silhouette Thread Lift.
Results are immediately apparent after treatment and may last as long as 18 months.
The Silhouette Thread lift is an ideal treatment to combat loose and sagging skin on the face and jowls.
