Silhouette Lifting Q&A Part 6: How Long Does the Effect of Silhouette Lifting Last?

One of the questions we get most often during silhouette lifting consultations is:

“How long does the effect last?”

If you are considering the procedure, it is only natural to wonder.

Today, we’ll explain what factors affect how long silhouette lifting lasts,

and also share ways to help the effect last longer.

✔️ The duration varies depending on the type of thread

The threads used for silhouette lifting are absorbable materials,

so they are naturally absorbed into the body over time,

and the speed of absorption and how long the effect lasts differ depending on the type of thread.

※ The absorption period refers to the time it takes for the thread itself to dissolve,

and the collagen-inducing effect caused by the thread may last longer.

✔️ It also depends on each person’s skin condition

The better your skin elasticity, the longer the effect lasts.

If the skin is too thin or sagging is severe, the thread’s support may diminish more quickly.

The amount of fat, muscle use, and facial shape can also affect how long the thread lasts.

✔️ Whether combination procedures are done also affects durability

Silhouette lifting can be effective on its own,

but combining it with the following procedures may help extend the duration of the effect.

📌 Collagen boosters (Rejuran, Juvelook, Revise, etc.)

📌 RF and laser lifting such as Pico Toning, Ulthera, and Thermage

📌 Thread combinations such as Peach Thread + Mint Thread + Silhouette Soft

At our clinic, we diversify thread combinations to improve lifting durability,

and we actively recommend combination procedures with collagen boosters.

✔️ Want to make it last longer?

Avoid straining facial expressions, massage, and sleeping face down for 2–4 weeks after the procedure

Be diligent with sunscreen, moisturizing, and skin care

Regular laser or booster maintenance procedures are also a good option.
