With time our skin loses its collagen and elasticity which can lead to looser facial tone and an increased appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and creases as well as an undefined jawline. It is well known that the whiter the skin the faster we lose collagen. Patients with darker skin types typically age much better however; they are at increased risk of keloid scarring following skin trauma.

After performing more than 5,000 cases of Collagen Stimulation  over the years and over 50 cases of Silhouette Soft Thread Lift Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi can now deliver the ultimate non-surgical face lift. To understand how to achieve full non-surgical face lifting, patients first need to understand how both Collagen Stimulation and Silhouette Soft treatments work.

Silhouette Soft Thread Lift

Collagen Stimulation

Collagen Stimulation is a long lasting, clinically-proven, non-invasive, stimulating injectable treatment that is designed to smooth out and soften lines and wrinkles, restore facial volume and contour the face in a natural way. Collagen Stimulation works differently from traditional dermal fillers and is considered a discreet approach to achieving a fresher, younger-looking appearance.

lt is a unique collagen replenishing treatment that helps to gradually and subtly reduce lines, wrinkles and folds. It is the only product that can stimulate collagen fibroblasts unlike any other dermal filler so is a preferred choice for many patients. By helping to replenish the body’s own facial collagen and restore lost volume, it can give a fuller, more natural look that can last from three to five years.

Collagen Stimulation is suitable for both women and men of different ages and it can help with deep folds around the mouth and nose, sunken cheeks, facial scars, deep acne scars and loose skin.

Collagen Stimulation

ln the 20s-collagen production slows down and then becomes dormant. This is an ideal time to start Collagen Stimulation to keep the collagen reserves active and for skin tightening.

ln the 30s and 40s Collagen Stimulation is ideal for long lasting lines and wrinkle correction and enhances cheek volume and stimulates collagen in a natural way.

In the 50s and onwards Collagen Stimulation is ideal to restore facial contours and volume and correct facial laxity and improve the jaw line and other areas. Patients can achieve full face lifting without the need for aggressive surgery with the results lasting up to three to five years depending on individual patients.

Collagen Stimulation should not be used on the neck due to the risk of developing lumps and bumps. Until now it has been quite challenging to achieve great results along the jawline by using Collagen Stimulation alone. Many of the changes associated with the jawline originate with the effects of aging to the mid face and the decent of the facial skin and fat pads that result in the appearance of the jowl and soft tissue disproportion.

To adequately address lower facial changes a combination of Collagen Stimulation and Silhouette Soft is most effective. Collagen Stimulation can be used to achieve lifting and re-contouring of the mid-face and Silhouette Soft provides immediate lifting and re-positioning of the jawline resulting in full non-surgical face lifting where it has been difficult to achieve before.

SILHOUETTE SOFT

Silhouette Soft is also a unique treatment which can also be carried out on different areas of the face and neck to provide immediate lifting action and regenerative action for gradual and natural results. The Silhouette Soft suture is comprised of bi directional cones attached to a suture made of a clear absorbable material of Poly Lactic Acid. The sutures contain either eight to 12 or 16 cones to enable a variety of treatment options. They are fully reabsorbable to promote the skins own collagen production.

These anchoring sutures are inserted under the skin using a fine needle to elevate the sagging tissue and lift problem areas; the use of a fine needle means no incision is required. The thread is held in place with absorbable cones oriented in opposite directions (bidirectional). Once the suture has been applied, slight compression of the tissue is applied to reshape it by hand and to obtain the desired lifting effect.

Poly-L-lactic acid, the main ingredient of Collagen Stimulation and Silhouette soft has been used successfully in surgical procedures for more than 40 years. Collagen Stimulation is officially approved by MHRA in the UK and the FDA in the USA and for restoration and/or correction of the signs of facial fat loss (lipoatrophy) and is used for treating facial lines and winkles.

Now using the combined technique of Collagen Stimulation and Silhouette soft patients are achieving the results they desire of full non-surgical face and neck lifting without the need for a surgical approach.
