Silhouette threads for face lift - a worthy replacement for plastic surgery

What it is

Silhouette threads are a non-surgical means for lifting the face, neck and other parts of the body. Made from high quality polypropylene, 100% biocompatible with human tissue.

Using punctures, they are fixed into problem areas to provide compression. Due to this, the skin is toned and becomes elastic. The lifting effect lasts up to 4 years.

The use of threads does not disrupt the usual rhythm of life. They are absolutely invisible to others and do not change under the influence of external factors.

Despite the fact that thread therapy does not involve surgical intervention, before undergoing it it is recommended to undergo an examination and consult with an allergist and immunologist. This is necessary to exclude an allergic reaction to a local anesthetic and to identify hidden diseases that can affect the condition of the skin.

Possible complications and precautions

If you have gone through the procedure of introducing Silhouette Lift Soft or non-absorbable threads of the same brand, then the positive effect will be noticeable immediately. Over time, it will not only not decrease, but will also become more pronounced. Your main task is to consolidate the result obtained and prevent any negative consequences from occurring. Reading reviews about such procedures, you can come across quite a lot of negative opinions. People complain that after the session they notice:

• swelling;
• bruises;
• soreness;
• local redness;
• feeling of itching or discomfort;
• appearance of bumps on the skin (in rare cases).

Silhouette Lift in both of its variants is a fairly gentle rejuvenation measure. Complete recovery of the body occurs within 7-10 days, and no special or complex care is required for the treated area. All recommendations are presented in the form of the following restrictions:

• do not create pressure on the problem area (about 2 weeks, do not massage, do not put pressure, do not sleep on your stomach);
• avoid procedures associated with high temperatures (solarium, sauna, steam baths, hot bath);
• do not perform repeated cosmetic procedures without the doctor’s permission or until the end of the recovery period.

Types of threads

Silhouette products are especially popular among cosmetologists; Lift, Soft, and Aptos threads are successfully used for face and neck lifting.

Elevator

Silhouette Lift - non-absorbable, durable, high quality. They are used primarily to eliminate age-related changes: wrinkles, decreased skin elasticity, ptosis. Designed for patients over 40.

They differ in structure by the presence of small notches-nodules along the entire length, which are responsible for fixation in the dermis and maintaining the required shape.

The peculiarity lies in the double principle of influence: tightening, activation of the natural production of useful components and tissue regeneration at the cellular level.

The thread remains under the skin forever, and the nodules dissolve within a year.

Software

Silhouette Soft threads are absorbable and are eliminated from the body naturally. They have a temporary effect.

Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):

Absorbable threads are also capable of long-term action, so along their entire circumference a peculiar shell of fibroblasts is formed, which are subsequently transformed into connective tissue cells - cords, which are not inferior in strength to synthetic threads.

Due to the presence of polylactic acid in the composition, they stimulate the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. They are responsible for the youth and firmness of the skin. Processes are activated directly at the location of the threads.

Most often used by patients over 30 years of age. Effective against the first wrinkles and minor age-related changes.

Aptos

Silhouette Aptos have a toothed structure, which promotes reliable fixation in tissues.
The introduction is carried out at a depth of up to 5 mm using micro-punctures. Available in two versions: resorbable and non-resorbable. The first ones dissolve, which reduces the period of the lift effect to 2 years. The second ones do not dissolve, due to which the result lasts up to 4 years.

The main advantage is that the threads are ultra-thin, which in most cases makes it possible to do without anesthesia.

Indications for use

In what cases is it appropriate to use Silhouette Lift and Silhouette Lift Soft? Direct indication for such a procedure: ptosis of the face or individual parts of the body in a moderate or initial stage. The ideal patient or patient for such a tightening procedure is a person between the ages of 30 and 50, not overweight, with moderate signs of skin aging. If necessary, the procedure is also carried out to combat wrinkles.

It is generally accepted that Silhouette Lift Soft threads are mostly preventive; they are suitable for young skin (over 30 years old) and for eliminating the first signs of jowls. Silhouette Lift is used for rejuvenation of more mature women (over 40 years old). Both types of threads are used to work on the face, neck, and chest.

Carrying out the procedure

Preparation

The success of the procedure depends to a certain extent on the quality of preparation.

2-3 days before the session, it is recommended to refrain from alcohol, taking blood thinners, and using cosmetics with a deep cleansing effect.

You must first take tests and undergo an examination to identify contraindications.

Stages

Lifting is performed as follows:

1. Selection of threads and drawing up a sketch of their introduction.
2. Antiseptic treatment of the skin of the working area.
3. Application of a local anesthetic in the form of a cream or gel.
4. Threading using durable, ultra-thin steel needles.
5. Fixation and tightening.

The whole process takes no more than an hour; upon completion of the manipulations, the specialist talks about the rules of hygienic care.

Healing period

Lifting problem areas using Silhouette threads is a gentle correction technique, so recovery lasts no longer than a week.
After this, you can sunbathe under the sun or in a solarium, or perform any cosmetic procedures. The only manifestation is small bruises at the puncture sites, which resolve in 2-3 days.

Recommendations for the rehabilitation period:

• no pressure on the areas of the skin under which the threads are located (it is better to sleep on your back);
• refusal to visit a bathhouse, sauna, or take a hot bath;
• exclusion of any cosmetic procedures.

Carrying out a thread lift silhouette lift

The installation procedure lasts 45-90 minutes. Doctors may use local or general anesthesia if there are no contraindications. The duration of the operation depends on the number of threads that the doctor installs. Before carrying out the procedure, the doctor must disinfect all the instruments that he will use, as well as cover the patient’s hair and clean the face with antiseptic agents. The patient should not undergo cosmetic facial cleansing before the procedure, and should not use cosmetics on the day of rejuvenation.

The method itself consists of a straight needle at the end of the thread, which the doctor guides along preliminary marks on the skin. At the other end is a needle that is needed for fixation. A thin hair with cones passes painlessly under the skin, because the cones are located in the direction of movement of the needle. The needle, moving in the opposite direction, tightens the soft tissue. The effect of this procedure is similar to plastic surgery, when sagging skin is slightly stretched and fixed. Also also try Melsmon.

Knots on the thread fix the cones and prevent them from moving. Experienced surgeons pre-mark the areas that need correction, this makes it possible to quickly cover large areas of skin. All patients are warned that the procedure is performed without incisions or removal of loose skin. After the procedure, the skin must be treated with an antiseptic (chlorhexidine). Excess material is trimmed off at both ends.

Rehabilitation after use

There may be slight bruising in the areas where the needles were inserted, as well as slight pain when touched. To prevent infection, doctors recommend taking antibiotics (Cefuroxime).

After the operation, you should not visit the dental clinic for a week, do a facial massage and avoid the sauna and swimming pool. At first, sleep on your back and try not to touch your face. Such methods are necessary to ensure that the cones are securely fixed, and also to prevent deformation of the skin along the line of the threads.

If you follow all the recommendations, the rehabilitation process will be quick and painless. There are no visible defects after the operation; there may be slight redness at the injection site, but this disappears within a few days. If the doctor who performs the procedure is qualified, there will be no visible defects.

Side effects

If the rules for working with products and sterile conditions are followed, complications occur extremely rarely.
In most cases, they are due to the individual characteristics of the patient’s body. Among them:

• swelling;
• hematomas;
• pain;
• inflammation;
• itching;
• skin relief.

To avoid side effects, it is important to approach the choice of a specialist with full responsibility, read in advance reviews of his work, and documents confirming the possibility of providing services of this kind.

Rehabilitation period and duration of effect

Recovery after implantation of Silhouette Lift or Silhouette Soft threads does not last long - 5-7 days. During this period, swelling, bruising, and bruising disappear (they are inevitable, and should be treated appropriately). The patient can return to her normal lifestyle almost immediately, but active physical activity should be avoided for some time.

In the first two weeks after the intervention, it is not recommended to perform active chewing and facial movements: opening your mouth wide, chewing or biting solid food, laughing, etc. A period of “calm” is required to ensure that the formation of the connective tissue frame around the cones is correct.

The initial effect can be observed immediately after the end of the procedure; it fully manifests itself after six months, when new collagen fibers form around the implanted threads. How long the result will last largely depends on how many threads are installed. The injection site also plays a role: for example, a cheekbone lift with threads will most likely “last” longer than a forehead lift (since a person tends to “move” his forehead more, which contributes to the appearance of wrinkles, although everything is purely individual). On average, the effect of a high-quality thread lift (thread lifting of jowls, cheeks, forehead, cheekbones, nasolabial triangle) lasts for at least 3-4 years.

It is also worth noting that thread lifting is perfectly combined with injection and hardware rejuvenating techniques. And this combination can significantly prolong and enhance the effect.

Opinion of cosmetologists

Experts mostly speak positively about thread lifting, calling it an excellent alternative to plastic surgery. Also, positive characteristics include a minimum of contraindications, high efficiency and rapid rehabilitation.
