Silhouette Soft Thread Lift Treatment

An excellent and effective cosmetic technique to lift and tighten sagging tissues.

Fat and tissue in the face naturally drop during the ageing process, causing drooping and sagging of the skin.

Silhouette Soft Re-defines facial contours and induces collagen production. The threads are made from PLGA (Poly Lactic-co Glycolic Acid) and use reabsorbable bi-directional cones to lift and suspend the sagging tissues.

The thread forms an integrated support structure for the tissue of the face due to collagen synthesis
The lifting effect is at its peak at 6 months when collagen has formed around the threads.

The longevity of the results vary between patients, the consultation process will adress this.

Silhouette Soft Threads can be safely used in combination with Botox,fillers, dermaroller and other skin resurfacing procedures.
