Non-Surgical Face Lift
A Silhouette thread Lift is a non-surgical, minimally invasive face lift that uses self-anchoring thread to lift and elevate places in the midface, brow and/or neck.
NON-SURGICAL FACE LIFT
If you are seeking a younger more lifted look in your face, have exhausted lasers and other treatment options and aren’t ready to go under the blade, a Silhouette Lift might just be the ideal procedure for you. This non-invasive procedure makes use of advanced, patented, self-anchoring thread technology to provide an elevated effect to skin and tissue around the midface, brow and/or neck.
The ‘Silhouette Lift’ is an American FDA-approved product, and is made from polypropylene, a material that has been used inside the human body as a suture material for decades. Its patented dimensional cones allows attachment to the subdermal tissue, enabling the fine threads to lift, suspend, fixate and contour the mid and lower facial area.
The result is similar to a real surgical facelift, but because it’s minimally invasive you’ll have no cuts, very little pain, almost no downtime and the lifted effect you’ve always dreamed of.

CONDITIONS
As we grow older, collagen production slows down. Our skin gradually becomes thinner, it loses its underlying fat, lose elasticity and volume which consequently causes sagging.
Our brows start to drop with age as muscles around the eye lose tone and elasticity, resulting in a tired and droopy look.
As we age, we lose the fullness of our skin and the skin below the mid face, closer to the nose and mouth, starts to sag and draw closer to the mouth. The result is forming lines from the corners of the mouth towards the chin and unfortunately, it cannot be treated by creams and make-up.
Repetitive frowning due to squinting can cause the forming of lines on the forehead and between the brows, also known as number 11 lines. Not only do these make us appear older, but they also result in an angry and serious appearance.
A distinct wrinkle line starts to form from the bottom of the nose to the corners of the mouth as we grow older. Caused by sun damage, smoking, and general aging, the severity of these lines can vary from one patient to another.

The neck is exposed to the same environmental elements as the rest of the skin and with aging comes the natural forming of wrinkles in the neck.
