Silhouette Soft™ How Safe is It?

Thank you for your question, it is good to see potential patients think about the safety profile of the treatments they are considering. 
As the UK trainer for silhouette soft threads I have access to the latest safety data on this treatment - from the recent biological safety literature date as well as biocompatibility tests on the device and on closely related products the conclusion was that "Silhouette Soft product range does not pose any significant risk to human health. The materials used in the devices (Poly L-lactic acid (PLLA) and poly glycolic acid) have a wide history of safe use in similar applications and the device itself has a history of safe sue. The animal data shows the product exhibits little , if any, toxicity at the levels used and therefore can be considered unlikely to pose any risk to consumer health". 
Silhouette soft is the only thread to be US FDA approved. 
In my opinion this is the safest thread available on the global market, as there is excellent clinical data to support its safety. 
As with most cosmetic treatments, the risk attached to having treatment is largely dependent on the skill set and experience of the doctor performing it. Please ensure you research your cosmetic doctor and I advise you choose an experienced Silhouette soft provider. 

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,

Thank you for your question. There are many branded "lifts" on the market, so this can be very confusing. some can refer to minimally invasive facelift techniques involving suspension threads.  These techniques are best suited to patients with mild aging changes. Moderate to severe aging changes would more likely benefit from a more traditional facelift. I would recommend consultation with a facial plastic surgeon to discuss what option is best for you."This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion. Seek in-person treatment with a trained medical professional for appropriate care."

This procedure sounds similar to several types of minimally invasive lifting gimmicks that have largely been abandoned because of inadequate long term results.  I would be very wary of proceeding with this and would recommend a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with a great reputation for facial aesthetics who can help advise you on minimally invasive or surgical alternatives to achieve your goals.
