Modern cosmetology offers the fair sex many effective and safe rejuvenation techniques. Nowadays, it is not at all necessary to undergo complex and painful plastic surgery to achieve the desired result. Silhouette Lift threads and their bio-alternative Lift Soft allow you to give the skin the desired shape, elasticity and tone. What exactly are they and how do they work? We will try to answer these questions in as much detail as possible.
Thread Silhouette Lift
Silhouette Lift are unique cosmetic threads for tightening the skin when the first signs of aging (wrinkles, ptosis) appear. The use of such a technique has been tested by time and practice in many countries around the world.
S ilhouette L threads are made of safe polypropylene material, which does not dissolve over time, but remains in the dermis forever. Their qualitative characteristics include: strength, ductility, elasticity and safety. Along the length of such a thread there are special notches-knots, the main task of which is to firmly fix the injected material deep in the dermis and give the contours of the face or body the necessary shape and elasticity.
Silhouette Lift has a double principle of action. The dense structure holds the skin due to its physical presence, and the nodules, made of glycolic and lactic acid, are aimed at stimulating internal processes that provoke the active production of beneficial components, the growth of connective tissue and cell renewal. Despite the fact that the thread itself remains in the skin forever, the nodules dissolve into simple compounds within a maximum of 12-18 months.

Beware of Marketing Tricks
1. No facelift can be “revolutionary” or “innovative.” New surgical techniques always evolve from previous techniques. An honest surgeon will always be able to tell you where the name of this or that procedure came from and what technically important things it contains.
2. If the marketing and promotional benefits of a lift procedure called by the surgeon outweigh the clinically proven benefits (through research reports, testimonials from former patients, clinical experience, etc.), then you should be wary. The proof is always what's on the inside, not on the outside!
3. Don’t let yourself be deceived by advertising techniques “less swelling, faster recovery” - this is what an advertising campaign is often based on.
Threads Silhouette Lift Soft
Silhouette Lift Soft - so-called temporary biothreads. Their main difference is that they dissolve after a certain period of time and are completely eliminated from the body naturally. The drug is made from polylactic acid. With its help, the body enhances the production of collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid and many other components necessary for young and elastic skin. Naturally, all of these processes are activated locally, that is, at the place where the Silhouette lift software thread is introduced.

Thread lifting with SoftLift threads
High expressive cheekbones and a clearly defined oval face are a sign of sophistication and feminine attractiveness!
Previously, the shape of the face could only be changed through plastic surgery. Today, along with a surgical scalpel, thread lifting can cope with this.
Thread lifting with SoftLift threads is an innovative and low-traumatic facial sculptor. The cosmetological technique allows you to move and tighten facial tissues very delicately. With the help of thread lifting, you can give relief to the cheekbones and chin, remove sagging, smooth out nasolabial folds and other skin creases, and raise the eyebrow line. The procedure itself lasts no more than an hour and does not require general anesthesia. The recovery period after it is much shorter than after plastic surgery.
The procedure for installing Soft Lift threads is carried out in the same way as the usual thread lifting procedure.
Setting areas : face, neck, décolleté, chest, inner arms, abdomen, buttocks, thighs, knees.
Using special atraumatic innovative conductors (cannulas), the threads are introduced into the tissue. In just one procedure, you can achieve the desired result, which saves both time and finances for both the patient and the specialist.
The duration of the effect is from 3 to 5 years.
on the creation of SoftLift Corporation products , taking into account the wishes of practicing surgeons and cosmetologists from all over the world.
Gruzdev Denis Anatolyevich , plastic surgeon, President of the Society of Thread Technologies Specialists, author of many patented techniques, took part in the development of threads
The threads are produced by an international holding company at factories in Italy, Japan, Korea, and Russia. The most advanced materials and technologies from around the world are used in the manufacturing process.
The Soft Lift line is represented by the following types of threads: Invisible and Comfort. Their differences are in composition, structure and mechanism of action.
SOFT LIFT INVISIBLE (SOFT LIFT INVISIBLE) - self-absorbable threads, consist of 80% polylactic acid and 20% polycaproloctone. These are reinforcing threads. Main objectives: prevention of aging, tissue revitalization, creation of the basis for the formation of a supporting frame.
Polylactic acid has high regenerative properties and stimulates the active production of collagen and elastin.
These threads also have a lifting effect . They are distinguished by a strong grip, stronger than their analogues. The thread is located in the cannula - this ensures that the procedure is atraumatic.
Another distinctive feature is the length of 200 and 250 mm, as well as their packaging in blisters of 10, 8 and 6 pieces.
This opens up opportunities for the cosmetologist to create various schemes - designs on the face and body.
SOFT LIFT COMFORT (SOFT LIFT COMFORT) – non-absorbable monofilament threads made of polypropylene and absorbable monofilament threads made of L-lactide copolymer with ε-caprolactone. Sterile threads with counter notches. These are lifting threads.
Objectives: maximum tightening, lifting sagging tissues, returning them to their original position.
Moving a part of the skin flap from point A to point B and fixing it is the main task of such threads.
Thanks to flexible, blunt-pointed needles, the specialist can go around hard-to-reach areas on the face, including passing the corners of the jaw.
Their length is 600 mm. When using such threads, the specialist also has many variations and opportunities to create different patterns - designs on the face and body.
Indications for SoftLift thread lifting:
Thread rejuvenation is recommended for decreased tone, dryness and “sagging skin”. There are also indications for placing these threads: loss of volume in tissues, fine wrinkles, deep creases and folds, dull complexion.
With the help of this procedure, the tissues launch a powerful production of their own collagen, thereby slowing down the aging process. Over time, the rejuvenating effect increases.
Principle of operation.
Reinforcing SoftLift Invisible ensures the creation of a collagen framework. When installing 6–10 threads on each side in the middle third of the face, a simultaneous bright effect of biostimulation of the skin and its tightening is achieved.
Polylactic acid - stimulates the formation of young collagen.
The process will increase over 4-6 months, after which it will be possible to carry out correction with polypropylene threads, providing more pronounced lifting and improvement of the oval of the face.
Comfort polypropylene threads provide a longer-lasting tightening and oval correction effect.
Safety of the procedure.
Soft, flexible, easily gliding threads are inserted with specially designed atraumatic cannulas - the procedure requires minimal rehabilitation. The technical characteristics of the threads reduce the likelihood of hematomas by 10 times and reduce the likelihood of edema by 20%.
The production undergoes special processing, which gives the material additional smoothness and eliminates porosity. This technological technique minimizes the possibility of infection of the implantation area. Even the presence of foci of chronic infection in a patient (caries, tonsillitis, sinusitis) does not provoke an inflammatory reaction.
Which is better, absorbable or non-absorbable threads?
Absorbable sutures Soft Lift consist of polylactic acid and modified polydiaxanone (monosorb). They differ from competitors in that decay occurs after 400 days. For regular polydiaxanone, this figure is only 180 days.
Non-absorbable threads are made of polypropylene - a material inert to infections. The results from non-absorbable threads last longer than from absorbable ones - from 3 to 7 years. And perhaps even up to 9 years.
The choice between absorbable or non-absorbable threads is made based on the patient’s age and the area in which the manipulation will be performed.
One of the most advantageous solutions is the simultaneous installation of lifting and reinforcing threads (non-absorbable and absorbable). Lifting threads are implanted along the oval of the face and in the jowl area, and reinforcement is carried out in the middle third of the face. This ensures a comprehensive and harmonious lifting and rejuvenation effect.

Threads Silhouette Lift Soft: photos before and after the procedure
The thread lifting procedure does not require special preparation and is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. Before carrying out the procedure, the doctor performs an antiseptic treatment of the skin and marks the lines along which the tightening will take place. After which the specialist opens the sterile package, where there is a thread, at one end of which a straight needle is attached, and at the other - a semicircular one, which is intended for fixing tissues (the cones are located with their apex in the direction of movement of the thread). The doctor pierces the skin with a straight needle and pulls the thread along the marking line in the direction of tension, as a result of which the wide part of each cone picks up the soft tissues and tightens them, which provides a lifting effect (the nodules that are located under the cones fix the result and prevent the thread from sliding). After the procedure is completed, the free edges of the thread material are cut off with scissors.
Possible complications and precautions
If you have gone through the procedure of introducing Silhouette Lift Soft or non-absorbable threads of the same brand, then the positive effect will be noticeable immediately. Over time, it will not only not decrease, but will also become more pronounced. Your main task is to consolidate the result obtained and prevent any negative consequences from occurring.

Procedure for inserting Silhouette Lift Soft threads
Rehabilitation period
The rehabilitation period after skin tightening with Silhouette Soft threads lasts 5-7 days, during which the patient is bothered by small hematomas at the sites of skin puncture and swelling of soft tissues. The first few hours after the procedure, a person may feel aching pain and discomfort in the skin tightening area, but these symptoms do not require treatment and go away on their own. In order to reduce the likelihood of skin infection after the procedure, the doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics (4-5 days).
For 10-14 days after thread lifting, it is not recommended to visit a bathhouse or sauna, solarium, gym, dentist, do facial massage and sleep on your stomach (this can lead to mixing of threads in the tissues), and the activity of facial muscles should be minimized.
