SILHOUETTE SOFT THREAD LIFT
Silhoutte threads are made of dissolvable suture material (poly-L-Lactic acid) with tiny dissolvable cones made of poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid which provides mechanical lift and support. An exciting additional effect is the stimulation of the skin’s own collagen as the threads are broken down. This contributes to long lasting lift AND glowing skin.

Threads differ to Dermal Filler (Hyaluronic Acid Filler) in the following ways;
- Threads lift and reposition tissue using traction and subsequent collagen stimulation
- Filler lifts by adding volume. There is minimal collagen stimulation. This may be an appropriate method if you have significant volume loss
- Generally threads give better lift than fillers and fillers give better volume than threads
- Threads last longer than filler
- Threads are potentially safer than filler
- Threads may or may not have slightly more down time than fillers. Both are office based procedures.
Looking for a better alternative to face lift for skin tightening?
At Main Street Cosmetics and Skin, we use PDO thread lifts, a polyester suture that is both secure and biodegradable. They are ideal for rejuvenating your skin. All of our professionals are highly skilled and furnished with cutting-edge equipment. When you step into our clinic, our professional staff will understand your problems and assist you to choose the finest thread lift treatment for you.
What is a thread lift?
A thread lift efficiently reverses any sagging or drooping by lifting and repositioning the skin with a thread inserted just beneath the surface. A thread lift aims to tighten the skin and give the face a more youthful appearance by pulling it back gently. Additionally, the threads encourage the skin’s collagen formation, which aids in giving the skin some of its lost volume.
Thread lift, suture lift, and stitch lift are all interchangeable terms. Although thread lifting is not new, its use has increased recently due to the creation of innovative absorbable threads. The original techniques lifted the face using non-absorbable threads or suture material.
The skin is pulled back as the thread is withdrawn and positioned thanks to the barbs or cones that are included on the newer threads. Sutures made of poly L-lactic acid (PLLA), polydioxanone (PDO), and polycaprolactone (PCA) are the three most often utilised threads.
All can be reabsorbed. Resorbable refers to the ability of the threads to be disintegrated and then absorbed by the facial bone structures.
Who is the ideal thread lift candidate?
Those who need the skin and soft tissues lifted but do not want a surgical facelift are ideal candidates for PDO thread lift. The technique is safe for both men and women. It is appropriate for people who need to improve their facial shape and contours, raise their cheeks or jowls, and define their jawline. Additionally, it might assist to reduce marionette or nasolabial folds (mouth corner folds).
What regions are treated using PDO thread lift?
The cheekbones, neck, jowls, and jawline can all look better thanks to thread lift. Additionally, threads can be utilised to give the nose tip and brows a slight lift. Depending on your concerns and suitability, you can have a thread lift performed for one region or several.
What to expect during the procedure?
A thread lift can be performed in the clinic without requiring general anaesthesia. Along the lines where the suture material will be inserted, local anaesthetic injections are administered to the patient’s face.
Our skilled staff at Main Street Cosmetics and Skin will explain the entire procedure to you before beginning so you can feelrelaxed.
What to expect after the procedure?
You should be able to resume your regular schedule after the procedure. For a few days, avoid swimming and strenuous exercise, and don’t use makeup for the first 24 hours.
In the first week following threading, it is typical to experience swelling, bruising, and some dimpling on your skin. A feeling of tightness in the face is possible, particularly when opening and closing the mouth. Face tenderness is typical, but it rarely hurts. There won’t be any obvious scars from this treatment, and recovery time should be short.
Our staff will also help you understand the dos and don’ts post-surgery to make your recovery smooth and faster.
