<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSilhouette Soft is a revolutionary new treatment to tackle prominent signs of ageing that results in a double lift and regenerating collagen effect which can all be done without the use of incisions or sedation. Silhouette Soft is considered to be a technological innovation offering men and women what no treatment has ever provided in such a simple way: a redefined face, restored volume and reduced wrinkles by means of a 30-minute treatment providing a result that lasts up to 2-3 years. This \u2018lunchtime face lift\u2019 means you can be in and out within half an hour whilst knocking off several years of your facial age. This discreet procedure means you can even go straight back to work and you don\u2019t even have to tell your colleges what you\u2019ve had done. This is why Silhouette soft is probably used by many Hollywood stars who deny having surgery but look to have defied age and remain still naturally good looking without a \u201cdone\u201d plastic appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So how does it work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Silhouette Soft Threads are considered to be a discreet approach to achieving a fresher, younger-looking appearance. The Silhouette Soft suture is made of a clear absorbable material of Poly Lactic Acid and eight absorbable cones which dissolve and promote your skins own collagen production. The length of the suture is 30 cm. 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. Only a small local anaesthesia is needed at the entry and exit points of the sutures. The thread is held in place with absorbable cones oriented in opposite directions (bidirectional).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the suture has been applied, the doctor performs slight compression of the tissue to reshape it by hand and to obtain the desired lifting effect. The non-inserted ends of the thread are cut off and you\u2019re done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is there a long recovery period?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Downtime after a Thread Lift treatment is minimal, however as with all cosmetic procedures patients may experience some very slight bruising or swelling in the days following the procedure and some mild tension in the areas that have been elevated. But other than that there is no muscular restriction or recovery time needed. During the week after treatment patients should not undergo any dental surgery, and they must avoid facial and beauty treatments. It is also recommended to avoid any excessive exercise for two weeks after the treatment. It is also advisable for patients to sleep on their back and slightly elevated (using 2 pillows) during recovery and they must be gentle when cleansing their face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So what areas can Silhouette Soft improve?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Silhouette Soft can be used to treat various parts of the face:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Contour<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Lower jaw<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Cheeks and cheekbones<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Eyebrows<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Neck<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is it safe?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Silhouette Soft is approved by MHRA in the UK and the FDA in the USA for restoration and\/or correction of skin facial laxity. Poly-L-lactic acid, the main ingredient of Silhouette Soft Threads has been used successfully in surgical procedures for more than 40 years, among others for bioresorbable sutures, in bone plates and screws, and as a medium for medication. In contrast, PLL as a filler comes as a powder of crystalloid particles that has to be reconstituted before injection. In the early years, the recommendation was to use 3 mL: this turned out to cause granulomas and also often clogged the injection needle. Now, most physicians use 10 mL or more of physiologic saline, often with some lidocaine added. After injection, the water is resorbed and the PLL particles induce a fibroblastic reaction lasting for 24 months or longer. This may cause fibrotic nodules, which may be visible in thin skin such as around the eyes and in the hands, and the substance may clump in the lips; these are the adverse effects of faulty technique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Silhouette Soft is a simple treatment to perform. Complications are rare, and are less likely when the procedure is performed by an experienced and trained facial plastic surgeon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Thread](\"https:\/\/www.lmaclinic.com\/lma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Silhouette_soft1-1024x721.jpg\")
