One Stitch Facelift – SILHOUETTE SOFT®
Silhouette Soft – One Stitch Facelift Tunbridge Wells, Kent & Sussex
The One Stitch Facelift Tunbridge Wells
Silhouette Soft® is a non-surgical facelift procedure that redefines facial contours, offering a lift, volume, and a smoother appearance. Often referred to as the ‘one stitch facelift’ or Micro-Facelift, Silhouette Soft® is renowned for its ability to tighten and lift, particularly in the jowl and cheek areas. This facelift non-surgical procedure is growing in popularity across the globe, providing less invasive alternative to traditional facelifts. Unlike traditional facelifts that involve significant downtime, Silhouette Soft® offers a quicker and less disruptive option, perfect for those seeking subtle and effective results.
This procedure gradually restores a fresh, rested, and natural look while allowing for full facial movement and expression. The results are progressive and will differ from person to person; however, most patients can expect results to last for up to 18 months. Using biodegradable threads, the procedure lifts and restores facial contours without the need for incisions or multiple stitches, unlike traditional surgical facelifts. This means there’s no need for a hospital stay or general anaesthesia, and the downtime is minimal. Over time, the lifting effect softens and stimulates collagen, providing lasting smoothing and firming benefits.
Silhouette Soft® is especially beneficial for individuals looking to:
- Restore volume and shape to sagging areas
- Lift the jawline and cheeks
- Improve skin texture and smoothness
- Achieve a natural, youthful appearance with minimal downtime
Moreover, this treatment is highly beneficial for people looking for a non-invasive solution to restore facial volume and combat signs of ageing. It’s particularly popular for those dealing with sagging skin around the jawline, cheeks, and neck area. Patients love the fact that Silhouette Soft® provides visible results without the need for complex surgery.
Silhouette Soft®: lifting and regeneration combined
Silhouette Soft® or 3D Facelift combines two powerful effects: lifting and regenerating. The lifting effect is immediate and discreet, achieved through compressing and elevating tissue during the suture adjustment. This instant improvement offers a subtle lift, which is perfect for individuals looking for a non-surgical yet effective option. The regenerating effect is gradual and natural, thanks to Silhouette Soft® threads made from polylactic acid, which is highly biocompatible and biodegradable. Once inserted, these threads work deep within the skin to increase volume in sagging areas, restoring the face’s natural shape gradually. Over time, this process enhances the texture and smoothness of the skin, giving you a younger-looking appearance without looking “done”.
Silhouette Soft® is particularly effective for:
- Lifting and redefining sagging facial contours
- Tightening the jawline and lifting upper neck
- Reducing Nose-to-mouth and Marionette lines
- Minimising the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improving skin firmness for a more youthful, sculpted look
This procedure is often used in combination with dermal fillers and botulinum toxin injections (Botox) to provide a holistic rejuvenation. These treatments help fill in areas of volume loss and further smooth out wrinkles, creating a well-rounded facial rejuvenation.
Silhouette Soft® Procedure: Quick, effective, and non-invasive
The Silhouette Soft® procedure is performed in-clinic under local anaesthesia and usually takes about an hour to complete. The poly-l-lactic acid threads used are fully absorbable, with no incisions needed. The suture is inserted using a fine needle and held in place with absorbable cones positioned in opposite directions (bidirectional). This technique ensures that the threads stay securely in place while delivering the desired lifting effect.
The procedure can be broken down into the following steps:
- Preparation: Local anaesthesia is applied to ensure comfort.
- Suture Insertion: The fine needle is used to insert the absorbable threads under the skin.
- Lifting Effect: Compression and slight traction are applied to lift the tissues.
- Cutting the Suture Ends: The non-inserted ends of the suture are trimmed off.
- Post-treatment care: Minimal downtime with some swelling and redness, which subsides in a few days.
Once the suture is inserted, the practitioner will apply slight compression and traction to achieve the desired lifting effect. The non-inserted ends of the suture are then cut off, leaving a subtle yet noticeable improvement. Depending on the treated area and the patient’s unique needs, one or more sutures may be used for optimal results.

One treatment, two actions:
- Instant results: The lifting effect is immediate as it is the result of compressing and elevating tissue at the time of adjusting the suture. After inserting the suture, the doctor applies slight pressure on the treated area. In this way, the doctor reshapes the surface of the skin and makes it visibly smoother.
- Collagen production: A gradual and natural regenerating effect: this takes place during the absorption of the component of the thread, which is poly-l-lactic acid. This in turn stimulates your own collagen cells which will help to restore lost volume. Once the suture is applied, the poly-l-lactic acid acts on the deeper layers of the skin and helps increase the volume in sagging areas, restoring shapeliness to the face gradually and naturally.
You’re in safe hands when it comes to the One Stitch Facelift, SILHOUETTE SOFT®. It’s got all the right credentials you’d expect coming from rtwskin (we’re actually registered as a hospital) including CE 0499 approval. It also meets the requirements of ISO 13485 standards in accordance with European Directive 93/42.
This technology has been used in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery for years. The thread which is made of a natural component called Polylactic Acid is totally compatible with your body, meaning there’s zero risk off an allergic reaction. Over time, your body will naturally break the threads down, but rest assured, as the Polylactic Acid is absorbed it stimulates your own collagen to take over.
