Overview:
Silhouette Soft facial threads are a non-surgical and minimally invasive method of lifting and tightening sagging skin around the eyebrows, midface, jawline and neck. Silhouette Soft facial threads are thin, medical-grade suture threads that are made of poly-L-lactic acid and are safely absorbed by the body over time. They also boost natural collagen production within the skin to replenish lost volume. Silhouette Soft facial threads are a highly effective treatment to lift and support sagging skin to provide a more youthful natural-looking appearance.
Treatment:
The procedure involves inserting the threads beneath the skin’s surface through a tiny insertion point into the underlying fat, using a special needle. Typically, the procedure takes less than an hour and is performed under local anaesthesia. Results can be seen immediately after the procedure, with continued gradual improvement over the following 18 to 24 months.
Recovery:
After Silhouette Soft facial threads, patients may experience some slight swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the treatment site. These side effects are generally mild and subside within a few days to a week. Patients can return to their normal activities soon after the treatment, however, are advised to avoid strenuous activities and excessive facial movements for a few days after the procedure. Downtime is minimal.
