Mechanism of Procedure
Using the cone-shaped protrusions and knots of the Silhouette Soft thread, the skin tissue is secured, and the underlying tissue is pulled upwards, providing a definite lifting and contouring effect. Additionally, the foreign body reaction from the inserted thread activates fibroblasts and induces collagen production, remodeling the surrounding tissue and tightening the skin.

Recommended For
Those who feel sagging due to lack of skin elasticity
Those whose cheeks droop like a bulldog as they age
Those who want quick results from lifting
Those desiring elasticity improvement through collagen regeneration
Those who want to eliminate wrinkles such as forehead wrinkles, nasolabial folds, etc.
Those who want to improve a sagging U-line into a V-line
The physical force of the thread lifts sagging skin, while collagen production during the wound healing process results in firm skin. Additionally, it provides wrinkle reduction and contouring effects.
FAQ
When the thread is inserted diagonally, the sagging tissue is pulled outward and upward, which may make the face appear wider when viewed from the front. Even if the cheekbones do not enlarge or the face does not widen after the thread lifting, the vertical sagging jawline is lifted upward, making the face appear slimmer and shorter vertically. Thus, some may feel that their face looks wider due to the relative reduction in vertical length.
In cases where the skin is thin due to facial fat removal or excessive skin tightening, or when the thread's path is visible, slight indentations may occur. Minor indentations caused by anesthesia or swelling usually resolve on their own. However, if the indentation is severe or bothersome, it is recommended to visit the clinic within two weeks post-procedure for adjustment. Overcorrecting minor indentations may reduce the lifting effect, so it is best to follow the medical team's judgment.
