Silhouette Soft non-surgical thread facelift at Spire Cheshire Hospital

Silhouette Soft® is a technological innovation offering women what no treatment has ever provided in such a simple way: a redefined face, restored volume and reduced wrinkles with results lasting up to 18 months.

Silhouette Soft® is the only product on the beauty market enabling two joint actions:

• A lift effect as soon as Silhouette Soft® is applied for an immediate and discreet result
• A regenerative effect, for progressive and natural results

When people are asked what they consider their two main signs of facial ageing, the answer is invariably loss of skin tone causing sagging of facial contours and the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and creases.

This phenomenon, which worsens with age, is due to the loss of collagen, the protein found in all structures of the body, especially the skin, and which ensures the cohesion, elasticity and regeneration of tissue. With age, collagen diminishes and the skin becomes less firm and saggier. The face also loses fats (becoming more skeletal), becoming hollow on the sides, and heaviness accumulates under the chin, and the lower cheeks

Silhouette Soft® is recommended for men and women of 30 and over who are trying to combat effectively the signs of ageing, who do not want any heavy and invasive treatment, but are looking for real and natural results.

Silhouette Soft® treatment is suitable for all skin types – testing for allergic reactions proved negative in clinical studies. Nevertheless, the use of Silhouette Soft is not recommended if you are allergic or sensitive to biomaterials.

Our dedicated team will also give you tailored advice to follow in the run up to your visit.

After a small local anaesthetic, the consultant inserts the suture under the skin to a depth of about three to five millimetres. No incision is required, as the suture is inserted using a fine needle. It is held in place with absorbable cones oriented in opposite directions (bidirectional).

Once the suture has been applied, the consultant performs slight compression of the tissue to reshape it by hand and to obtain the desired lifting effect.

We are committed to delivering excellent individual care and customer service across our network of hospitals, clinics and specialist care centres around the UK. Our dedicated and highly trained team aim to achieve consistently excellent results. For us it's more than just treating patients, it's about looking after people.
