Silhouette Soft Thread Lift

Although ageing is natural and happens to everybody, many people find it difficult to accept. The feeling or perception associated with ageing can affect their self-esteem.

However, even though people want to look young, most of them are not keen on going under the knife, as they deem it to be too drastic a measure. That is why non-surgical treatments are preferred. Moreover, people hope that whatever treatment they have undergone will give natural-looking results – as if the youthful look was achieved naturally.

What is Silhouette Soft?

Suitable for both men and women, Silhouette Soft is a non-surgical, minimally invasive skin tightening treatment. The main component of Silhouette Soft is Poly L-lactic acid (PLLA) – a well-known polymer that has been used for many years in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.

PLLA is commonly used to produce resorbable suture, drug delivery system and in surgery, where it is used for orthopaedic fixation devices such as pins, rods and screws.

Composed of PLLA monofilament with moulded cones made of Lactide/Glycolide, Silhouette Soft was developed by scientists in the USA who are experts in reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. Working to lift the skin through suspension suture, Silhouette Soft offers new possibilities in anti-ageing treatment options.

The suture acts as scaffolding under the surface of the skin to lift soft tissues that are sagging. The cones hold the threads in place, and at the same time, stimulate the body’s production of collagen. The fresh collagen will help to replace depleted facial volume due to ageing.

Why Should You Choose Silhouette Soft?

Silhouette Soft is a cutting-edge minimally invasive treatment. Suitable for both men and women, it produces a face tightening effect – the results are immediate. It will also stimulate the body to produce collagen, enhancing the effects of the treatment for a natural-looking youthful appearance that lasts longer.

The Silhouette Soft Thread Lift works in two ways – it produces an effect similar to a surgical facelift, and also has an immediate lifting action on the face, which you will be able to see right after the treatment.

Under local anaesthetic, the dissolvable sutures are carefully threaded underneath the skin in several key points. Once securely in place, the sutures are used to internally lift and re-anchor skin that has followed gravity downwards over time.

How Silhouette Soft Works

Through a double-action effect, Silhouette Soft thread lift helps smoothen the skin on the face to produce a more toned appearance. The treatment will yield an immediate repositioning of the tissue and stimulate a gradual regeneration of collagen.

Due to tissue compression and skin elevation at the time of implanting the suture, the effect from the repositioning of the tissue is instant. After suture insertion, gentle pressure will be applied on the treatment area to adjust the contours of your face and smoothen it. The end result is similar to the effect of a face lift.

Silhouette Soft thread lift is made from Poly L-lactic acid (PLLA). It is a common polymer used for many years in certain biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.

PLLA has excellent biocompatibility and is biodegradable. PLLA is also used to make suture thread, orthopaedic pins, rods, screws, and nails for bone fractures.

On top of that, the Silhouette Soft suture has small cones. These cones act as traction and fixation points. They cause a natural foreign body reaction that triggers the formation of new collagen. This will help to restore the contours of the face and neck.

Benefits of Using Silhouette Soft

The Silhouette Soft thread lift treatment is minimally invasive, so the down time will be minimal. The Silhouette Soft suture is made from safe and entirely re-absorbable material. The treatment provides an immediate face lift effect, and triggers the body to produce new collagen.

What You Should Not Do After Treatment

The recovery period after the procedure is normally 1-3 days, and most patients can resume their regular activities within this period. However, for some patients, it might be longer.

As a precaution, patients should not engage in vigorous sporting activity in the first 2 weeks after the procedure.

Side Effects and Safety

Silhouette Soft thread lift was developed from 6 years of R&D in permanent suspension sutures with cones used in plastic and reconstructive surgery. A total of 150,000 treatments have been carried out since then.

The sutures are made from Poly L-lactic acid (PLLA), which has been used for many years to make suture thread, orthopaedic pins, screws and nails for bone fractures.
Silhouette Soft sutures are resorbable and biocompatible, and because they are made in the USA, they have to pass stringent sanitary controls. This helps to make sure that they are safe to use.

For the European market, it is marked CE. The manufacturing site complies with the requirements of the ISO 13485 international standard.
