Hello, this is Gangnam Lifton Dermatology Clinic.
Today, I’d like to talk about thread lifting, which many people undergo.
First, let me explain the thread called Silhouette Soft. Compared with other thread-lifting threads, it has a very unusual structure.
It has knots, and between the knots are cones shaped like tiny cones.
There are knots, and between the knots are cone structures made of PLLA.
This special shape is different from many other threads.
There are various forms, such as cog-type threads like Mint Thread, cone-type threads like Cone Celitna threads, and barbed-wire-like forms like Fix Thread, but they all share a straight structure. In contrast, Silhouette Soft has needles on both ends and cones lined up on both sides, making it a very unique structure.
Compared with ordinary threads, which have a protrusion structure and are unidirectional, Silhouette Soft has a cone structure and is bidirectional.
It’s not just the structure that is unique.
Most threads are made of PDO, and some are made of PCL, but Silhouette Soft is made of PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid).
Among the threads currently used for thread lifting, Silhouette Soft is the only one made of PLLA.
PLLA is well known as the polymer injection Sculptra. Sculptra is a powdered form that is rehydrated and used for collagen regeneration injections, while Silhouette Soft can be thought of as that material solidified into thread form.
Its shape is unique, and its ingredients are unique as well, so in many ways it is a unique thread. In that sense, the price is also unique, too ㅠㅠ ..
Because it is more expensive than ordinary threads, you may want to use a sufficient amount, but in many cases that is not possible.
When Silhouette Soft is inserted into the body, it promotes collagen synthesis around the thread.
While other threads stimulate tissue synthesis around a straight, fixed structure, Silhouette Soft has the cone-shaped structures I mentioned earlier moving between the knots, resulting in a stronger tissue synthesis effect.
Because the lifting effect of thread lifting is combined with the collagen-synthesizing and tissue-forming effect like Sculptra, it is a product that is often used in procedures.^^
As mentioned, Silhouette Soft lifting has a different structure from other threads, so the effectiveness can vary greatly depending on the practitioner.
Therefore, I strongly recommend receiving the procedure at a clinic with plenty of experience and skill.
