You are looking for an aesthetic medicine solution to remodel the oval of the face and fight
the cutaneous loosening caused by aging? There is a soft anti-aging technique that creates
both a lift effect and a re-densification of the skin: the face tensor threads. Without
requiring a surgical intervention, this simple procedure offers immediate results: the face
looking rejuvenated.
The use of tensor threads is a real alternative to surgery and lifting. It rejuvenates the face
by raising the tissues.
There are a lot of benefits: this surgical procedure is quick, non invasive, non traumatic and
without scars. This mending compensates the moderated loosening of the eyebrows, the
zone of the eyes, cheekbones, nasolabial folds and the lower part of the face (jowls).
The patients like the visible and natural aspect of the result: the contours of the face are
redefined and the wrinkles decreased. The face retrieves its volume and the skin its lost
tonicity. This lift effect is not possible with the injection products.
The threads being resorbable, the effects last 18 to 24 months;
The aesthetic doctor will use the Silhouette Lift threads. They are no-serrated cone threads
made with polypropylene and completely tolerated by the human body. it is important to
know that there materials have been used for many years in cardiology and ophthalmology.
The Silhouette Lift threads are CE certified and approved by FDA (USA).
The use of Silhouette Lift threads is required to overcome the face tissues loosening, which
happens when the cutaneous elasticity and tonicity are altered. This ptosis can be due to
age, an abusive sun exposure, heredity or tobacco consumption.
This intervention, despite being surgical, is less heavy than a lifting. Its technique consists in
introducing 3 to 4 pairs of threads equipped on both sides with minuscule resorbable cones
with an incision of approximately 1cm in the scalp. These threads going under the skin of the
face will settle in the deep tissues and remodel the oval of the face.
The fibrosis around the threads produces a stronger suspension mechanism than the one
produced with traditional methods.
During your consultation with your practitioner at Clinique du Lac, you will share your wishes
and expectations. After a medical exam, he or she will guide you towards the most adapted
intervention. If the tensor threads for the face are selected, he or she will determine how
many threads have to be placed and will explain to you all the intervention details.
No specific preparation is necessary, except an appointment with the anesthetist two weeks
prior to the intervention.

It lasts approximately 45 min in an operating room. The surgeon will insert the tensor
threads in the under-cutaneous tissues using a thin needle. The cones will maintain them
where they need to be. After the insertion of all the threads, a slight compression of the
tissues is done to remodel them as desired.

Your practitioner will give you the necessary post-treatment advises: apply ice patches or
cold in the minutes following the treatment, the intake of analgesics if necessary… He or she
will tell you how to clean and dry the skin with an extreme delicacy for a few days.

treatments for at least 20 days.
