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 Soft 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 ageing. These threads are made of polylactic acid, which naturally boosts collagen production, giving your skin a healthy, radiant glow.
Silhouette Soft Threads are equipped with absorbable cones, similar to barbs, inserted under a local anaesthetic 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. The excess thread is then trimmed and 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 thread lift London procedure. Results are immediately noticeable after treatment and can last up to 18 months.
The PDO thread lift is an ideal solution for addressing loose and sagging skin on the face and jowls. It offers a refreshed and youthful appearance with minimal recovery time.
Benefits of Silhouette Thread Lift
Non-Surgical: No incisions or general anaesthesia required, reducing the risk and recovery time associated with traditional facelifts
Immediate Results: Patients can see an immediate lifting effect, with continued improvement over the following months as collagen production increases.
Minimal Downtime: Most patients can resume daily activities within a few days.
Natural-Looking Results: The gradual regeneration of collagen ensures that results appear natural and not overly dramatic.
Longevity: Results can last up to 18 months, providing long-term improvement in skin tightness and texture.
Versatility: It can be combined with other treatments, such as dermal fillers or anti-wrinkle injectables, for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Post-Treatment Care & Recovery
After the procedure, some swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort may occur, but these side effects typically resolve within a few days.
Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and facial massages for a couple of weeks to ensure optimal healing. It’s also important to follow any specific post-care instructions your doctor provides.

Thread Lift can also be used for:
Sagging skin is apparent on the lower face, neck and on body. It is often caused by major or rapid weight loss and ageing.
With major weight loss, the skin is stretched from excess weight and as fat decreases, there is less volume to fill the skin, resulting in loose and sagging skin.
As we age, we lose collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin help to keep the skin flexible and supple and as the production of collagen and elastin decrease, skin laxity increases and skin appears crepey.
Depending on the area you would like treated, treatments like skin tightening can restore volume and reduce visible laxity to prevent the appearance of ageing by stimulating elastin and collagen production.
Laser treatments can also help to vaporise excess skin. Radiofrequency is a non-invasive treatment to heat the skin to 42 degrees celsius to empty fat cells and tighten the skin on the face or body.
Injectables help to treat sagging skin on the face by administering hyaluronic acid help to restore lost volume, causing the drop of skin, to pull the skin for a lifted and hydrated appearance.
The loss of facial volume can be considered complex. It occurs with age and can be accelerated by lifestyle choices, medication, stresses and trauma and extreme weight loss.
As we age, our hormones change affecting the quality of fat padding our face and bone density reducing our facial structure. As fat padding decreases, eyes and cheeks appear more hollow and jowls are more pronounced.
Environmental causes such as smoking, pollution, UV damage and stress further contribute to loss of facial volume by damaging collagen and elastin.
Yo-yo dieting, extreme weight loss and frequent high-impact exercise are also culprits of the loss of facial volume.
At Bodyvie, we can restore facial volume and increase collagen and elastin production to combat the signs of ageing.
The appearance of jowls is a sign of ageing. As we age, we slowly produce less collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are the main contributors to thick, healthy and supple skin, and as they decrease, our skin becomes thinner and less flexible, which causes the skin to droop and sag as collagen also supports the skin.
Exposure to the sun and free radicals such as pollution and cigarette smoke also accelerate the signs of ageing as these factors break down existing collagen. To treat jowls and diminish their appearance, Bodyvie offers treatments to stimulate collagen production and skin tightening.
Our Radiofrequency Facial is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment using heat to tighten the skin. Lipofirm Pro is very similar in using radiofrequency heat to tighten skin. Still, it has the added dynamic muscle activation to stimulate the muscles and encourages excess fat to be flushed from the body for a more firm appearance.
Our skin tightening laser treatment using Youlase helps to tighten skin by vaporising loose, excess skin while stimulating collagen production by causing micro-traumas that trigger the body to accelerate its healing process, resulting in thicker, more youthful skin.
Our doctors and aestheticians will help you find the best treatment to suit your needs and restore your skin.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
After administering a small local anaesthetic, the doctor inserts the PDO thread lift suture under the skin, 3-5mm deep. The suture is inserted using a fine needle and held in place with absorbable cones on the thread, like barbs. Once the suture is inserted, your doctor compresses the treated area to manipulate its shape for the desired lifting effect. The excess thread and suture are cut off. This is repeated on the other side of the face for a balanced effect, as well as the number of threads advised by your doctor during your consultation.
