Treatment Overview
The Silhouette Soft Thread Lift is a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedure that uses biodegradable threads with micro-cones to lift and tighten sagging skin. These threads not only provide immediate lifting but also stimulate collagen production for longer-lasting rejuvenation.
In Korea, the Silhouette Soft Thread Lift is highly popular for patients who want natural-looking results without surgery, minimal downtime, and subtle facial contour improvement. It is often performed on the cheeks, jawline, brows, and neck.
