Read on to find out how this treatment works and how it can benefit you…
What is a thread lift and how does it work?
A thread lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves inserting dissolvable threads beneath the skin to lift and rejuvenate sagging areas like the face and neck.
These threads, often made from materials like polydioxanone (PDO) or polylactic acid (PLA), have tiny cones or barbs that grip onto tissues, providing immediate lifting effects.
As the threads dissolve, they stimulate collagen production, further enhancing skin firmness and elasticity over time.
This procedure offers a non-surgical alternative to traditional facelift surgery, delivering noticeable improvements with minimal downtime and fewer risks.
What are Silhouette Soft Threads?
The Silhouette Soft thread lift is a distinctive treatment offering a dual effect: immediate enhancement and gradual regeneration.
Utilising specially designed threads, it can redefine and lift sagging areas of the face and neck, such as jowls and the lower face.
With its innovative approach, Silhouette Soft provides instant lifting results while also stimulating collagen production for long-term rejuvenation, ensuring a firmer and more youthful appearance over time.

Is a thread lift right for me?
Determining if a thread lift is right for you depends on various factors, including your individual aesthetic goals, skin condition, and medical history.
If you’re seeking a minimally invasive solution to address mild to moderate skin laxity, sagging, or loss of facial volume, a thread lift could be a suitable option.
Additionally, if you prefer a procedure with minimal downtime and are not yet ready for surgical interventions like a traditional facelift, a thread lift may align with your preferences.
However, it’s essential to consult with a qualified cosmetic dermatologist who can assess your unique needs and provide personalised recommendations based on your specific situation and desired outcomes.

What is a thread lift?
The thread lift procedure lifts and tightens the skin, resulting in a younger, smoother, and healthier appearance.
It addresses signs of aging in the face and neck areas by re-suspending sagging areas with dissolvable sutures placed beneath the skin, which are then tightened and pulled back.
This action lifts, stimulates, and regenerates the skin.
Why choose a Silhouette Soft Thread Lift?
When you choose Silhouette Soft, you select threads made from medical-grade materials with a proven track record for safety and results, highlighting that not all threads are created equal, and significant advancements have been made since the outdated PDO thread lifts of the past.
Are the effects of a thread lift immediate?
The thread lift restores the shape of the face and neck and redefines cheek and jawline contours by repositioning fat deposits and elevating the skin.
Suspension suture and cone technology reposition the skin and fat, particularly around the cheeks and jawline, providing definition and immediate effects.
How long does a thread lift last?
The typical duration of a thread lift ranges between 18 months and 3 years.
Long-term effects arise from the body’s foreign body reaction, which activates fibroblasts in the skin and stimulates collagen synthesis in the tissue surrounding the suture and cones.
This ‘re-stimulation’ is crucial for long-term improvement of face and neck contours, as collagen production naturally decreases with aging.
Will I need repeat reatments?
Over time, the thread lift stimulates collagen and elastin, which will gradually degrade. Eventually, the effects will completely wear off.
Many people choose smaller top-up treatments every 12-18 months rather than waiting for the full effects to wear off.
Are thread lifts safe?
Silhouette Soft suspension sutures utilize PLLA and PLGA (Poly L Lactic Acid & Poly Lactic-co-Glycolic Acid), both safely utilized in medicine for decades, leading the market for safety and effectiveness.
The thread lift treatment itself is extremely safe when performed by an expert. You may experience some slight swelling or bruising afterwards, but this is often much less than expected!
Are thread lifts painful?
You will be surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. Using a local anaesthetic, our experts will have you very happy with just how painless it can be!
Thread lift aftercare
Following your treatment, our team will provide you with very clear written aftercare advice and schedule a follow-up to check on your progress.
What is the recovery time after a thread lift?
The recovery period for Silhouette Soft can vary depending on a variety of factors and can be anywhere between a few days and up to two weeks. Most people can carry out their normal routines the next day.
More about threads
Silhouette Soft thread lifts are a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure used to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and neck.
The procedure involves the use of polylactic acid threads, which are inserted under the skin using fine needles. The threads are then gently lifted to lift and tighten the skin, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
The procedure is relatively quick and can be performed in clinic, with minimal downtime. The results of a Silhouette Soft thread lift typically last for about 18-24 months.
