Threading / Non-surgical Face lift

Threading is a less invasive/non-surgical alternative to surgery (face lift).

Dr. Smit is an accredited Silhouette Soft Aesthetic Practitioner. Using a bidirectional coned suture to achieve a double action of immediate repositioning of the tissue and a gradual regeneration of collagen. This effect of skin restoration not only leads to a smoother more toned skin, but also to more shapely contours.

Silhouette Soft monofilaments are made of Polylactic acid while the cones are made of L-lactic acid (82%) and glycolic copolymer (18%). These components are totally resorbable in 8-12 months for the cones and 18-24 months for the suture.

The regenerating effect is gradual: Poly L-lactic acid (PLLA), the principal component of Silhouette Soft is a well-known polymer that has been used for many years in a number of biomedical and pharmaceutical applications: suture thread, orthopaedic pins, rods, screws and nails for bone fractures. It is because this polymer shows excellent biocompatibility and is biodegradable that such applications have been developed. The small cones on the Silhouette Soft Suture provide traction and fixation points, a natural foreign body reaction then reinforces this, by the build-up of new collagen formation. This action is what helps restore shapeliness to the face and neck.
