Face lift with Silhouette Lift Soft threads

Thread lifting

using SILHOUETTE LIFT SOFT threads (USA) is a minimally invasive and safe rejuvenation method.

For more than 8 years, thread lifting has been successfully used by leading specialists in 48 countries. Silhouette Lift system

is the only existing non-surgical lifting technique that has been approved and recommended for use by the US Federal Food and Drug Administration (FOOD&DRUG Administration - FDA). In addition, the technology has an EU quality certificate.

The Silhouette Lift is the most impressive alternative to a circular facelift.

Main advantage

— the ability to work with more pronounced gravitational changes and “tighten” and fix tissues.

Technology

The Silhouette Lift Soft thread consists of an absorbable thread equipped with transparent elastic cones. It is the cones that firmly fix the thread in the tissues, do not allow it to move, create “supporting platforms” and form a young, tightened contour.

Microcones reliably fix the threads subcutaneously, and the tension of the threads ensures the return of soft tissues to their original, “young” position. Gradually dissolving, the cones become overgrown with connective tissue, which finally fixes the tissue, securing the result. As a result, the cones dissolve, but the desired lifting remains!

Correction using Silhouette Lift Soft threads rejuvenates the face without disturbing the natural features. The soft tissues simply return to their position at a young age, as if old photographs come to life. Immediately after the correction, you can see how your face looks younger.

itself is made of polylactic acid

, biologically compatible with the body. Polylactic acid is characteristic of the human body, does not cause rejection, and has been used for many years in such delicate and delicate areas as vascular and ophthalmic surgery.

The thread also dissolves over time, forming soft neocollagenogenesis in the installation area - the production of new collagen-elastin fibers, which helps rejuvenate the skin from the inside.

The thread is made from transparent absorbable material (100% polylactic acid, is excreted from the body within 1.5-2 years, which ensures the safety of this technology.

In addition, lactic acid stimulates the formation of collagen (neocollagenesis), that is, it has a rejuvenating effect, activating skin renewal and slowing down the aging process) and has eight absorbable cones, which are designed to fix the thread in the tissues and create lifting (tightening).

The length of the thread is 36 cm. In the central part of the thread, two knots are located at a distance of 2 cm from each other and at the same distance from the middle of the thread. There are no cones between them. The cones move easily in one direction and support the fabric well when the thread is pulled back. The threads do not leave scars, and the result of their influence is tightened skin without wrinkles!

Face modeling with Silhouette Soft threads

Silhouette Soft: a new word in thread lifting

Modern technologies make surgical intervention unnecessary to give facial features regularity and clarity. Silhouette Soft Lift threads is becoming increasingly popular . They are made from polylactic acid, and therefore will not cause an allergic reaction after being introduced under the skin. They are manufactured by the American company Kolster Methods, which has its own representative office in Russia.

Thread lifting is an innovative method in which face lifting is carried out using thread clamps. With them, the face quickly takes on new desired shapes that last for a long time. The threads have excellent bio-compatibility, as well as a large margin of safety.

Characteristics of threads

The manufacturer produces threads 36 centimeters long. They come in three varieties depending on the number of cones:

In what cases is thread lifting used?

Correction of jowls
Correcting irregular facial features
Correction of nasolabial folds
Improving the results of plastic surgery
Changing cheekbones
Age-related skin changes

This correction method is perfect for people aged 30-40 years, as well as those who are afraid of operations or have a general intolerance to long-term anesthesia.

In what cases should this correction method not be used?

Heat
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Acne
Tumors
Increased allergic reaction
Presence of chronic or acute diseases of internal organs
Inflammatory foci
The danger of keloid scars
Using hormones or blood thinning medications
Skin clotting problems

Description of the procedure for inserting Silhouette Lift Soft threads

The installation of threads usually takes place in special beauty salons under local anesthesia. The duration of the procedure can be up to 1 hour: the duration is directly affected by the number of treated areas. No preliminary preparation, special incisions or additional skin tightening is required.

The procedure is preceded by the doctor drawing special lines, according to which the implantation will take place. In addition, the specialist determines the center of insertion of the threads. Only after this the skin surface is treated with chlorhexidine, and then anesthesia is administered. Once the threads have been inserted to the desired length, the remaining ends are cut off.

Features of rehabilitation

After the procedure, a slight flow of blood, pain, and swelling may be observed at the sites where the threads are inserted. The duration of this effect is no more than 6 days. In some cases, the skin may have a deformed appearance, but as it shrinks, its texture smoothes out and takes on a normal shape.

Precautions after installing threads

For 7-10 days, it is not recommended to make grimaces or form a tube with your mouth.
You cannot wear makeup during the day.
For 15 days, completely stop intense physical activity.
It is not recommended to visit the dentist for 7 days.
Try not to stay in the sun for a long time and visit the solarium for 2 weeks.
It is not recommended to visit the steam room for 3 weeks.
Avoid facial and neck massage for a month.
During the week, it is recommended to choose a sleeping position facing up.

Lifting using Silhouette Lift threads can be used in combination with other anti-aging procedures: plastic surgery, liposuction, lip augmentation. Threadlifting allows you to give facial features regularity and attractiveness.

Description of the procedure:

The procedure is performed under local injection anesthesia. Silhouette Lift Soft threads are inserted through a micropuncture using a sterile special thin needle. Through it, the thread is installed in the desired area. Passing through the surface layers of tissue, the thread is brought to the extreme lifting line. The needle is removed, and the thread remains in the lifting area, forming a new young frame. Over time, the thread becomes overgrown with connective tissue, and after the thread is absorbed, the young collagen continues to support the facial tissues in the given position.

The procedure does not leave scars and is perfectly combined with other aesthetic interventions: botulinum toxin, contouring, hardware cosmetology. As a rule, 1 zone requires from 2 to 5 threads. The result lasts up to 4 years.

Thread lifting allows you to achieve a higher (characteristic of a young face) position of the tissues of the cheekbone and cheek area and, most importantly, preserve facial features and expression without changing, which is not always possible with “large” lifts. When the lifting effect wears off, the procedure can be repeated.

What is special about Silhouette Lift threads?

Silhouette Lift threads are a unique material for tightening the skin during the first age-related changes. This type of thread is made from polypropylene, which is safe for health. Its peculiarity is that the threads do not dissolve over time, but remain in the layers of the skin forever. The positive properties of Silhouette Lift threads include:

special strength;
safety of use;
elasticity.

Along the entire length of the thread there are special notches and knots, the purpose of which is to firmly fix the injected material over the entire area of the dermis.

The positive lifting effect is ensured due to the presence of threads with notches in the layers of the skin, and the nodules on them stimulate the internal processes of the production of useful elements that activate tissue growth and skin cell renewal.

Important: the Silhouette Lift thread remains in the thickness of the skin for life, and the nodules on it dissolve without a trace within one year.

Side effects and restrictions after the procedure:

Does not require special preparation.

It is advisable to stop taking anticoagulants (medicines that affect plasma clotting factors) for three days. Small hematomas at the injection sites and tissue swelling are possible, which disappear within 5-10 days.

During the first two weeks, you should sleep on high pillows and only on your back.

It is necessary to limit physical activity and try not to overload the facial muscles (avoid laughing, yawning, refuse hard foods, and visiting the dentist). Also contraindicated for two months are deep massage, liposomal creams, physiotherapy and any intradermal manipulation.

A day after the operation, you can wash your hair using mild baby shampoo.

The result is visible immediately. The presence of threads is felt by the patient within one week. After this period, the presence of threads in the skin is not noticeable either to the patient himself, or, especially, to others.

Procedure for installing threads Silhouette Lift Soft

SilhouetteSoft threads help, without surgery or the development of negative effects, to very quickly restore the oval lines of the face for a fairly long period of time. This type of lifting is well suited for men and women who want to quickly restore youth and beauty, without a tedious recovery period after surgery, dressings and possible risks of side effects.

Lifting with Silhouette Lift threads is carried out in sterile medical conditions, with the mandatory use of local anesthesia. The lifting process lasts approximately one hour. A facelift is performed without cutting the skin with a scalpel or applying stitches.

The threads are inserted into the layers of the skin through a microscopic puncture with a special needle.

As a result of such manipulations:

the previous contours of the face return;
the tissues of the cheeks and cheekbones are tightened;
Wrinkles and other age-related changes in facial skin completely disappear;
The “double chin” disappears.

Depending on the client’s age and individual body characteristics, the positive lifting effect lasts for an average of three years.

Distinctive features of Silhouette Lift Soft threads

Silhouette Lift Soft threads are made from polylactic acid. Subcutaneous administration of such material completely eliminates any side effects.

A special feature of the material is its ability to stimulate the formation of natural hyaluronic acid in tissues.

Eight and sometimes sixteen cones are applied to the threads, located opposite each other in two rows. It is these elements that provide tightening and fixation of soft facial tissues in one position. This type of lifting thread tends to dissolve within one year after the end of the procedure.

Thread composition and configuration

The thread, 36 cm long, is made of polylactic acid and has 8 cones, consisting of 82% L-lactide and 18% glycolide.

Silhouette Soft threads are made from polylactic acid . This substance is a biopolymer produced artificially in laboratory conditions. The substance has no antigenic composition, does not contain protein components, and therefore cannot cause autoimmune reactions. On the contrary, polylactose acid serves as a powerful stimulator of hyaluronic acid synthesis by human connective tissue fibroblasts. And this stimulating effect lasts for more than 12 months. In this case, the body receives its own hyaluronic acid, which does not cause any complications at all and is synthesized exactly in the place that needs cosmetic correction.

The external effect of polylactic acid is delayed, i.e. becomes noticeable and increases approximately 2-4 months after the procedure, reaching its peak approximately six months later. The delayed action consists of the formation of new native collagen fibers in response to the presence of the introduced thread (neocollagenesis). This process of natural tissue restructuring continues despite the complete resorption of thread microparticles. The effect lasts for at least 2 years.
