How does Silhouette Soft work?
Silhouette Soft is an impressive product that is only minimally invasive, yet gives maximum results. The suture itself is created with a biodegradable and biocompatible PLLA polymer, or poly-L-lactic acid. On the suture, there are bidirectional cones that were attached there, and contain lactide glycolide, which is a combination of glycolic acids and lactic acid in an 18:82 ratio.
The PLLA sutures give the skin a lifting effect, and allow it to regenerate to regain some of its lost elasticity and youth. The area that is sagging is gently lifted and compressed once the suture is under the skin, and it also stimulates the production of collagen, enabling the solution to give a more lasting effect. The cones themselves also provide points of traction, so that the sutures are anchored securely into the surrounding tissue, which also leads to lowered risk of product extrusion and migration.
Treatment Details
Only licensed medical professionals should be allowed to apply Silhouette Soft on patients. Prior to the treatment the doctor should assess where the best entry and exit points for the sutures should be in order to give the best effects. These areas should then be disinfected, and then the entry point must be punctured using the attached needle. Afterwards, insert the suture into the subcutaneous layer, and once the needle is in the appropriate depth, it should be withdrawn through the first exit point. Once the suture is mostly in the skin, cut of the needle while leaving a piece of suture exposed. This is then repeated for all sutures. Make use of the exposed ends of the suture for the cones to attach to the tissue. Then trim off and discard the excess suture material.
How long does Silhouette Soft last?
Actual duration of effects will also be dependent on the patient’s physiology and lifestyle, but generally speaking the product will show results for around 18 months, and up to 2 years.
