The Derma Clinic has added the Silhouette Thread Lift treatment – a new, minimally-invasive alternative to the face lift. The Silhouette Thread Lift offers younger, fresher look without the higher risks associated with a full surgical face lift, making it ideal for those looking for a more ‘up-lifting’ look.

The Silhouette Thread Lift provides a safer and less invasive procedure to turn back the clock, offering long lasting, outstanding results without the long recovery time, hospital stay and general anaesthetic and large scars. The treatment gives facial skin back the support it has lost during the ageing process by using very fine, strong threads to suspend and lift the soft tissue.

The Silhouette Thread Lift is minimally invasive so discomfort, bruising and swelling is kept to a minimum and results can be seen in a short period of time with improvements continuing for up to 6 months following the treatment as the new collagen production lifts the skin. As the sutures gently lift the skin upwards, it is a very natural result that will look refreshed and rejuvenated.

With age, facial skin tissue weakens and much of the facial fat and collagen that keeps the skin taut and plump is lost, resulting in loose sagging skin, particularly around the eyes, cheeks and jowels.

The Silhouette suture has tiny, clear, flexible and fully absorbable ‘cones’ along its length which gives 360 degree support to the tissues, and this procedure promotes tissue suspension so the facial skin is repositioned immediately, and new collagen production stimulated by the tissue lifting and sutures over time further enhances the effect of the lift.

Silhouette Soft enhances the Contours of your Face and will keep you smiling!

Silhouette-Soft™ is a new Thread lift treatment at The DermaClinic Monkstown Dublin. Silhouette Soft Threads are used to preform face lifts, neck lifts and brow lifts. The Thread acts to counteract the effects of volume loss and skin ptosis (degradation of the quality of skin as a result of the ageing process).

All Silhouette products are manufactured in Michigan,USA, and are subject to rigorous sanitary controls. Silhouette Soft is a natural substance that counteracts the loss of volume which afflicts ageing skin. The procedure is suitable for all skin types – allergic reaction tests have been negative throughout clinical studies.

The visible aesthetic benefits of a Silhouette Soft™ treatment last for a period of 12 to 18 months. Results are immediate and long lasting. One’s age and lifestyle can have an effect on the longevity of the aesthetic results.

Silhouette Soft is an excellent complement to other cosmetic treatments, such as hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin. The latter can continue to be injected during Silhouette Soft treatment – as well as after treatment.

SILHOUETTE SOFT® can be used to treat different parts of the face :
