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.
As a minimally invasive alternative to traditional cosmetic surgery, the Silhouette Thread Lift offers discreet and natural-looking results with minimal downtime. The procedure utilises biodegradable anchoring sutures to lift and reposition sagging tissue, effectively reversing the effects of aging. These threads are made of polylactic acid, a substance that naturally boosts collagen production, giving your skin a healthy, radiant glow.
Silhouette threads are equipped with absorbable cones, similar to barbs, which are inserted under a local anesthetic to a depth of about 3-5mm beneath the skin using a fine needle. These threads naturally dissolve over time. Once the suture is in place, your doctor will compress the treated area to manipulate its shape, achieving the desired lifting effect. Excess thread is then trimmed, and the process is repeated on the other side of the face to ensure a balanced appearance.
The regenerative effect of collagen stimulation continues even after the sutures have dissolved, providing extended benefits beyond the initial tightening and lifting effects of the Silhouette Thread Lift. Results are immediately noticeable after treatment and can last up to 18 months.
The Silhouette Thread Lift is an ideal solution for addressing loose and sagging skin on the face and jowls, offering a refreshed and youthful appearance with minimal recovery time.
