Consultation:
A Doctor consultation is required prior to treatment to explain the procedure, answer any questions you may have and assess your suitability and potential results from Silhouette Soft Thread Lift. During consultation, your Physician will advise how many threads are required to achieve your desired results and we will provide a written quote.
If you are not sure whether the Thread Lift procedure is for you, please book a complimentary skin consultation with one of our Cosmetic Nurses who will conduct a skin analysis and advise on the range of treatment options available to address your concerns.
Treatment:
The procedure is performed in-clinic and does not require any incisions or sedation. A local anaesthesia will be injected at entry/exit points and the procedure itself is painless.
The Threads are inserted just below the dermis using a long, soft needle. The skin is gently remodelled and the threads tightened into position. The unique little cones connect with tissue and retain skin in the new compressed position. The sensation of threading is much like a standard dermal filler procedure using a micro-cannula.
Post-Treatment:
There is minimal or no downtime following Silhouette Soft Thread Lift for most patients, however, mild swelling or bruising may occur. Sometimes, a slight depression or skin irregularity may appear at the entry points, but this tends to spontaneously resolve in a few days. If not, the area can be gently adjusted during your review.
We recommend the following post-treatment:
- We will prescribe antibiotics, please complete the full course
- Apply cold packs immediately after if required
- Take paracetamol for 2-3 days
- Sleep face-up and elevated on pillows for 3-5 nights
- Keep the treated area clean for 5 days, avoid makeup for 1 day
- Avoid direct/harsh sunlight for 2 weeks
- Avoid facial massage for at least 4 weeks
- Avoid high impact sports for 2 weeks
- Avoid saunas and dental surgery for 3 weeks
- Avoid dermal fillers for 4 weeks prior and after thread lift (or 12 weeks if using bio-stimulating fillers)
