sagging skin with a thread lift

The Silhouette threads facelift helps to contour, tighten and rejuvenate your face without the upheaval of a full facelift.* It involves lifting your skin with sutures made of biodegradable, biocompatible polymer. Because it doesn’t require invasive surgery, this cosmetic beauty skin lifting treatment is a popular choice for tightening the skin and increasing collagen production, helping to fight the signs of ageing.

*Individual results may vary.

First, the highly experienced cosmetic physicians at our Melbourne skin tightening clinic apply a local anaesthetic to your treatment area to reduce potential discomfort during the Silhouette thread lift. We then use a needle to insert polymer sutures into a few pre-determined lifting points to achieve a good uplift and toning effect in sagging areas.*

Depending on your desired outcome, we typically use between 2 to 10 sutures and a variety of skin lifting techniques to achieve optimal lift, firmness and face shape.*

The polymer in the thread lift sutures also helps to stimulate the production of new collagen. When the threads are dissolved, you’ll be left with a new framework of collagen, contouring your face for a more youthful appearance.* The treatment at our skin lifting clinic takes just 60 minutes, making it a fast and effective skin tightening method.

*Individual results may vary.

Silhouette threads facelifts are designed to rejuvenate your face with minimal discomfort.* The suture lift treatment is best suited to individuals between 30 and 50 years of age, but can also be adapted to those approaching 60 who are wanting to tighten the cheeks and jowls for a more youthful appearance.

This skin lifting treatment is designed for people looking to:

›  Define the jawline and neck*
›  Address sagging jowls*
›  Regain volume in the cheeks*
›  Revitalise aged or sun-damaged skin*
›  Plump up the eye and brow region*
›  Reduce nasolabial folds*

Some people may experience mild bruising and slight skin depression after undergoing a Silhouette thread lift. These side effects normally self-correct in 1 to 3 weeks.*

After a suture lift cosmetic skin tightening treatment, we recommend that you:

›  Avoid wearing make-up for at least 24 hours
›  Sleep face up for five nights
›  Limit direct sunlight for two weeks

By following these tips, you can improve the results of your Silhouette threads facelift and minimise the chance of any complications occurring.

*Individual results may vary.

You can expect to enjoy the effects of your thread lift for up to 18 months.* After this time, another skin tightening treatment at our Kew clinic is recommended to maintain skin and beauty results.
