What is a Silhouette Thread Lift?

A Silhouette Thread Lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to address sagging skin and skin laxity. This treatment involves the use of specialised threads that are inserted beneath the skin’s surface. It is essential to note that treatment outcomes will vary between patients.

These threads serve a dual purpose: they provide an immediate lifting effect and promote the natural production of collagen over time.

Benefits of a Silhouette Thread Lift

Below are some potential outcomes and features associated with this procedure:

  • Non-Surgical: The Silhouette Thread Lift provides an option for those seeking results without the need for surgical incisions.
  • Recovery Time: Generally, patients may experience a shorter recovery period compared to surgical options; however, this will vary by individual, and our doctor will discuss expected downtime in detail.
  • Subtle Outcomes: Provides noticeable yet subtle changes.
  • Gradual Improvements: The threads promote collagen production over time, helping to improve skin firmness.
  • Customised Approach: This procedure can be tailored to your specific requirements, addressing individual concerns.
  • Short Procedure Duration: The treatment typically takes around 30 to 60 minutes, allowing for convenience.
  • No Surgical Scarring: As there are no surgical incisions, visible scarring is unlikely; however, this may differ for some individuals depending on skin type and other factors.

Areas of the Body Suitable for Thread Lift

A Silhouette Thread Lift can be applied to the following areas, where it may provide improved skin appearance:

Facial Areas

  • Cheeks: Addresses sagging in the cheek area.
  • Jawline: Provides improved jawline definition.
  • Jowls: Targets skin laxity around the lower face.
  • Neck: Can help with skin laxity and wrinkles in the neck area.
  • Eyebrows: Can help to lift the brows, potentially enhancing the eye area.

Body Areas

  • Décolletage: Addresses fine lines in the chest area.
  • Arms: Can help improve skin appearance on the upper arms.
  • Buttocks: May improve the appearance of sagging.
  • Abdomen: Provides an option for addressing skin laxity on the abdomen.

Potential Risks of Silhouette Thread Lift

Understanding potential risks allows you to make an informed decision:

  • Infection: Though uncommon, there is a slight risk of infection at the thread insertion points, which we minimise through strict hygiene protocols.
  • Discomfort: Some patients report temporary discomfort or a pulling sensation immediately post-procedure; this typically resolves within days.
  • Asymmetry: Mild asymmetry may occasionally occur but can often be managed in follow-up appointments.
  • Visible Threads: Threads are designed to remain discreet, but risk exists that they may become visible. This is typically addressed during follow-ups.
  • Allergic Reaction: Rarely, some individuals may experience an allergic reaction to the materials used in the threads.
  • Thread Migration: Threads may rarely shift from their original placement, and if so, can often be repositioned through a minor adjustment.
  • Numbness: Temporary numbness or altered sensation may occur but generally subsides over time.

Using a qualified health practitioner can help minimise these risks, which may vary between patients.

Am I a Suitable Candidate?

Assessing suitability for a Silhouette Thread Lift involves several considerations. Suitable candidates typically have mild to moderate skin laxity and seek a non-surgical approach to addressing skin firmness. If you have realistic expectations and are in good health, this procedure may be a viable option.

Procedure Explanation

Pre-treatment Consultation

During the consultation, our doctor will discuss your treatment goals and provide information about the procedure, ensuring your plan aligns with realistic expectations.

Treatment

Dissolvable threads are inserted beneath the skin’s surface in targeted areas. After placement, our doctor performs a gentle compression to complete the process.

Recovery and Aftercare

After the procedure, we offer guidance on post-treatment care, such as avoiding direct pressure on the area immediately afterward. Recovery time varies by individual, and following our instructions will support a smoother recovery.

Gradual Improvement

A notable aspect of the Silhouette Thread Lift is the gradual improvement over time as collagen production increases, leading to progressive changes in the treated areas.

Silhouette Thread Lift Cost

The cost for a Silhouette Thread Lift may vary depending on individual treatment requirements and the number of threads used. During your consultation, we provide a tailored quotation and discuss potential financing options.
