Silhouette Soft®: What You Need to Know

Silhouette Soft® is a bio-stimulating thread lifting technique designed to reposition the skin and support long term collagen production. Each suture is made from polylactic acid, a widely used biocompatible material that safely dissolves over time while encouraging collagen regeneration within the deeper facial tissues.

This unique system uses patented bidirectional coned threads that anchor gently into the skin, creating an immediate lift while supporting the deeper layers. Silhouette Soft® is often referred to as a non surgical facelift because it delivers noticeable facial rejuvenation without incisions, general anaesthetic, or extended downtime.

At Dermoperfection Birmingham, your Silhouette Soft lift treatment is always tailored to your facial structure, degree of skin laxity, and long term goals, ensuring a result that looks refreshed and refined.

What Concerns Silhouette Soft® Helps With

The Silhouette Soft® thread lift is ideal for patients concerned with:

Mild to moderate sagging in the midface or jawline
Early jowl formation requiring a jowl lift
Drooping cheeks or loss of contour
Softening of the lower face without surgery
Neck laxity requiring a subtle neck lift effect
Skin that lacks firmness due to ageing
A double chin requiring gentle repositioning for double chin reduction
Deepening nasolabial or marionette folds
A desire for a natural looking lift rather than added volume

This treatment is suited to individuals seeking a discreet enhancement, often used alongside dermal fillers, skincare, or maintenance treatments for long term results.

How the Treatment Works

Silhouette Soft® utilises absorbable polylactic acid sutures equipped with 3D coned threads for optimal lift and collagen stimulation.

Here’s how it works:

1. Immediate Mechanical Lift
The threads are inserted beneath the skin using a fine needle, repositioning sagging tissue in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, and neck. This creates an instant lifting effect similar to a subtle facelift treatment.

2. Long Term Collagen Regeneration
As the polylactic acid gradually dissolves, the sutures trigger robust collagen regeneration (types I and III), improving:

Skin firmness
Facial structure
Overall skin texture
Long lasting support

This dual action process sets the Silhouette Soft® thread lift apart from older PDO threads or basic thread lifting techniques. The innovative cone design ensures stability, improved anchoring, and enhanced rejuvenation.

Treatment Areas

Silhouette Soft® can effectively treat:

Midface sagging
Jawline definition and early jowls
Lower face contour
Neck lift and neck laxity
Cheek elevation
Double chin tightening
Brow lifting (in selected cases)

For patients wanting more dramatic contouring, the Silhouette Soft® thread lift can be combined with treatments such as silhouette InstaLift, dermal fillers, or targeted skin tightening.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

At Dermoperfection Birmingham, your Silhouette Soft lift begins with a detailed consultation to assess your suitability, goals, and expectations.

During treatment, you can expect:

Local anaesthetic to ensure comfort
Careful mapping of thread placement
Fine needle insertion to place the coned threads
Immediate visible lifting of the treated area

The procedure takes between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the number of threads placed. Average recovery is typically just a few days, making this a convenient option for those seeking rejuvenation without extended downtime.

Some mild swelling, tenderness, or skin puckering is normal and usually resolves quickly as the threads settle.

Results and How Long They Last

Silhouette Soft® provides two phases of improvement:

Instant Results

Elevated facial tissues
Enhanced jawline definition
Smoother contours
A subtle, refreshed look

Gradual Enhancements
Over the following 3 to 6 months, collagen stimulation improves:

Skin firmness
Facial volume support
Long term lift
Overall facial rejuvenation

Results typically last up to 24 months, though some patients choose maintenance treatments to prolong their lifted, youthful appearance.

Read our FAQ's about Silhouette Soft

We want to make sure you have all the information that you need before your treatment. If you have any questions that aren’t covered, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

What is Silhouette Soft?

Silhouette Soft is a highly effective suture lift, which stimulates collagen production whilst also correcting and tightening the midface, jawline, eyebrows and neck.

How does Silhouette Soft work?

A suture is placed around the treatment area, with special cones to hold it into place. These then help reposition the skin to give a lifted appearance.

Who can have Silhouette Soft?

We will book you in for a consultation to decide on the suitability. It won’t be advised if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you have a history of autoimmune diseases, or under 18. If you’ve ever had an allergic reaction to any of the components of Silhouette Soft, we will also advise against the procedure.

Is Silhouette Soft safe?

Silhouette Soft suspension sutures are made from PLLA and PLGA (Poly L Lactic Acid & Poly Lactic-co-Glycolic Acid), both utilised safely in medicine for decades.

The Silhouette Soft technique took several years to research and develop, and is now carried out by the most trusted professionals. We are also CQC registered, which ensures our medical staff are working to the highest standard.

Does Silhouette Soft hurt?

Silhouette Soft is performed under local anaesthetic. You will be able to resume normal life the next day, but full recovery usually takes a few days to a couple of weeks.

Are there any side effects from Silhouette Soft?

Silhouette Soft can cause a minimal inflammatory reaction, due to the insertion of a foreign body into the skin. This is a well-known reaction and common to all minimally invasive aesthetic treatments. In some cases, patients can experience minor pain, swelling and/or bruising.

When will I see results from Silhouette Soft?

What makes Silhouette Soft so unique is that it enhances instantly and regenerates gradually! You can expect the full effects to be visible after 3 months.

How long do Silhouette Soft results last?

If you’re seeking long-term rejuvenation, you’ll love Silhouette Soft, as the results last up to 24 months!

Long-term effects come from the body’s foreign body reaction, which stimulates collagen synthesis from the activation of the fibroblasts present in the skin. This stimulation occurs in the tissue area surrounding the suture and cones. Collagen production is naturally reduced with ageing and therefore this ‘re-stimulation’ is pivotal to providing long-term improvement of the face and neck contours.
