Silhouette Soft® is a highly effective non-surgical thread lift used to tighten and regenerate the mid-face, jawline, eyebrow and neck.
A Silhouette Soft® non-surgical thread lift is an alternative to a traditional face lift.
As we age, we not only lose volume in our face, but also our tissues. These fat pads slide forward towards the centre of the face and south. The ageing process also creates heavy nasolabial folds (nose to mouth lines), marionette lines (mouth to chin lines), jowls, and loss of jawline contour. Over-injecting the cheeks without addressing the underlying anatomical change can lead to unsightly results which we now see commonly.
Traditionally, the only way to correct this would have been a surgical face lift,
however this carries scarring, potential complications and considerable downtime. In recent years and with advances in technology, the Silhouette Soft® Thread Lift has transformed the landscape of non-surgical face lift options.
Using unique technology of dissolvable threads, Silhouette Soft® lifts the tissues, acting as a non-surgical face lift.
The threads are made of Polylactic (PLLA) acid sutures which stimulate your skins type 1 collagen production before being broken naturally by the body over a period of 24 months.

Possible swelling/bruising which resolves a few days post treatment.
Moderate. You may feel a slight pulling or tightening sensation during treatment.
Full effects are usually visible within 2-4 weeks once the threads have settled.
Results typically last between 12-18 months. Results depend on factors such as skin quality and age.
A Silhouette Soft® Thread Lift would benefit you if you are looking to effectively combat the signs of ageing such as loss of volume and do not wish to have invasive surgery.
Before the treatment Dr M will administer a local anaesthetic before carefully inserting each suture into the skin. The threads create an instant lifting effect by providing support to the tissues. As well as having a lifting effect, these threads stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture and elasticity, enhancing the results of your treatment.
A Silhouette Soft® thread lift is moderately uncomfortable, however Dr Minocha uses a local anaesthetic prior to the treatment being carried out. You may experience a slight pinching or pulling sensation as the threads are inserted and adjusted. After treatment you may experience mild swelling, bruising or soreness at the treatment sites; this can be managed with paracetamol as needed.
The number of threads required for your individual needs will be discussed with you in detail during your consultation with Dr M. As a guide, most patients need 6-10 threads @ £450 per thread. A full-face rejuvenation using Silhouette Soft threads would be £4500.
The results from a Silhouette Soft® Thread lift are instant and long lasting with most patients seeing longevity of around 12-18 months, however results vary depending on the individual and are influenced by factors such as individual skin quality, age and lifestyle factors.
Dr M has not only performed thousands of thread procedures but was one of the first to introduce this treatment to the UK over 10 years ago. He is Key Opinion Leader and Global Brand Ambassador for Silhouette Soft® and has taught the procedure to hundreds of plastic surgeons, dermatologists and aesthetic doctors worldwide. By choosing Dr M for your Silhouette Soft® Thread Lift you are ensuring that your care is of the highest possible standard.
