Silhouette-soft-4

Silhouette Soft Facelift

This revolutionary treatment treats both volume loss in the cheek area, and reduces nasolabial folds, jowls, neck and jawline laxity.

Cost of treatment is $595 per thread, and most patients require 6-12 threads.  A pre treatment consultation is required ($135) and a procedure fee of $200 is payable on the day of treatment.

The threads last for 18 months, but the threads do stimulate natural collagen production for a prolonged benefit on skin texture and tone.  There is minimal downtime and the procedure involved local anaesthesia only.

Before The Treatment

No special preparation is required prior to Silhouette Soft treatment.

However, we recommend that you discuss your expectations and ask your doctor any questions you have before starting treatment. Inform the doctor of any treatment you have already received and of any medicines you are currently taking.

Application of Silhouette Soft must be performed by a doctor who has undergone specific training.

The 60-Minute Treatment

Applying Silhouette Soft takes around 60 minutes in a doctor’s practice. You will thus be able to get back to your full social life with minimal recovery time.

Silhouette Soft is a tailor-made treatment, so it will be adapted to your needs and preferences and can be complemented with other aesthetic treatments.

After a small local anesthetic, the doctor inserts the suture under the skin to a depth of about five millimeters.
No incision is required, as the suture is inserted using a fine needle. It is held in place with resorbable cones oriented in opposite directions (bidirectional).
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 suture are cut off. One or more sutures may be applied, depending on the patient and treated area.

Post Treatment Recommendations

After the treatment, slight oedema (swelling) or bruising may occur. Sometimes, a slight depression or skin irregularity may appear at the entry points. These inconveniences disappear a few days after treatment.The doctor will prescribe an antibiotic cream to apply on the entry and exit points of the threads twice a day as required (in the morning and in the evening, during 5 days):

  • Apply cold packs immediately after the procedure if required (Cold packs should be wrapped to avoid direct contact with skin and insertion point)
  • Take analgesia e.g. paracetamol in case of pain (2-3 days)
  • Refrain from applying make-up for as long as possible (minimum 24 hours)
  • Sleep face up, in an elevated position on pillows (3-5 nights)
  • Wash, shave and dry face gently without rubbing or massaging (5 days)
  • Avoid excessive face and neck movements (2 weeks)
  • Avoid over-exposure to direct sunlight and do not use tanning beds (2 weeks)
  • Avoid sports, in particular high impact sports e.g. running (2 weeks)
  • Do not use saunas or steam rooms (3 weeks)
  • Avoid dental surgery (3 weeks)
  • Avoid face and neck massages and face and neck aesthetic treatments (4 weeks)

Social and professional life can be resumed quickly!
