Silhouette Soft works by using absorbable threads with tiny, bidirectional cones that are inserted beneath the skin through a minimally invasive procedure. Once in place, these threads provide an immediate lifting effect by gently pulling the skin upwards, correcting sagging areas. The cones anchor the threads in the tissue, ensuring the lift stays in place.
In addition to the immediate lifting effect, Silhouette Soft also stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, which helps to gradually improve skin firmness and texture over time. The threads naturally dissolve within the skin, but the rejuvenating effects can last for up to 18 months, offering a long-lasting, natural-looking result.
Silhouette Soft treatment is administered through a minimally invasive procedure performed by a trained medical professional. Here’s how it is typically done:
Consultation and Planning: The treatment begins with a consultation where the practitioner assesses your facial structure and discusses your desired results. They will map out the areas to be treated and determine the number of threads needed.
Preparation: The treatment area is thoroughly cleaned, and a local anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
Thread Insertion: Using a fine needle, the practitioner carefully inserts the Silhouette Soft threads just beneath the skin. These threads have small, bidirectional cones that help anchor the skin in place and provide an immediate lifting effect.
Adjustment: Once the threads are in place, the practitioner gently adjusts them to achieve the desired lift. The cones grip the skin, allowing the practitioner to reposition and tighten the skin as needed.
Trimming and Finishing: After the threads are properly positioned and the desired lift is achieved, any excess thread is trimmed. The insertion points are usually very small and heal quickly without the need for stitches.
Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, the treated area is typically massaged to ensure the threads are smoothly integrated into the tissue. Patients may experience some mild swelling or bruising, which usually subsides within a few days.
Silhouette Soft is suitable for people who want to lift and contour their face or body without undergoing surgery. It is ideal for those with mild to moderate skin laxity.
Silhouette Soft is a minimally invasive treatment that does not require any downtime. Some mild swelling and bruising may occur in the initial days following the procedure, but most people can return to their normal activities immediately after the treatment.
The biodegradable sutures gradually dissolve over two years, leaving behind a natural lift that also stimulates collagen production for enhanced lifting effects and improved skin elasticity.
Some mild side effects may occur after Silhouette Soft, such as swelling, bruising, and redness at the injection site. These side effects typically resolve within a few days to a week after the treatment.
Silhouette Soft can be used to lift and contour various areas of the body, including the face, neck, jowls, arms, and buttocks.
