What you need to know about tensor threads for the face

The use of silhouette threads is required to alleviate sagging facial tissue, which occurs when skin elasticity and tone are impaired. This may be due to age, excessive sun exposure, heredity or smoking.

Although surgical, this procedure is less invasive than a facelift. The technique consists of inserting 3 to 4 pairs of threads fitted with tiny absorbable cones on either side, through a 1 cm incision in the scalp. These threads pass under the facial skin, anchoring themselves in the deep tissues and reshaping the oval of the face.

LIFT silhouette yarn features

These polypropylene threads, which are perfectly tolerated by the human body, have been used for many years in cardiology and ophthalmology.

The fibrosis around the wires will produce a much stronger suspension mechanism than with traditional methods.

Silhouette Lift Sons are CE-certified and FDA-approved (USA).
