The procedure uses threads with absorbable, bidirectional cones. After anaesthesia is administered, the threads are inserted into the skin’s fat layer. Slight pressure is then applied to compress the facial tissue to lift and reshape sagging areas.

As the threads activate specialised skin cells, known as fibroblasts, collagen stimulation is achieved. This gradual collagen regeneration ensures that facial volume and shapeliness is maintained months after the treatment. While effects of the Silhouette Soft Thread Lift lasts about one year, the procedure is performed in less than half an hour. The threads can be used in areas around the eyes, jaw line, cheeks, and neck.

Most side effects are mild and temporary. Clients may experience soreness or bruising for a few days post-treatment. Any skin dimpling, tethering, or appearance of “pulling” will subside within 2 days. Mild swelling and bruising around sutures may occur but will usually subside within 7 days. Facial massages, further cosmetic procedures, and rigorous physical activities should be avoided for 1-2 weeks, depending on the amount of treatment received.
