Something that all humans have in common is that ageing takes its toll on our skin. As we get older the natural stores of collagen and elastin begin to deplete. These proteins are paramount in the vibrance and flexibility of our skin. As they start to deteriorate in volume, the skin can start to sag and become looser. This is most easily noticed due to the hollow-looking cheeks that start to form as well as a heavier jowl in the jaw line. These changes are inevitable but the result is not. Science has helped us to understand the ageing process of the face and this, in turn, has enabled us to create methods to fight back and bring your youthful face back out for all to see.

 

Thread Lifts Can Turn Back Time

So you may have heard about thread lifts. They have been a popular anti-ageing treatment since as far back as the early 90’s. Before that, the most common practice was to go straight in for a surgical facelift. But these types of operations do come with their risks and complications. When the thread lift came into the market, there was a less risky option out there for people to take advantage of.

 

The nature of innovation is that it always continues to happen, and so it’s not surprising to hear that the beauty industry has since moved on from standard thread lifts. A new type of thread lift, the Silhouette Soft® thread lift, is now offered at Bamboo Aesthetics and has redefined thread lifting treatments. The key advantages to the Silhouette Soft® thread lift is that it can create a redefined face, increase volume and even reduce wrinkles. All of this can be achieved in a treatment that lasts just 30 minutes! Not only this but the process results in very little downtime and for 30 minutes of treatment, the results can stay with you for up to 1.5 years. If you have had facial rejuvenation treatments in the past or are considering having one in the future then this is something seriously worth considering.

 

What’s it like to get the Silhouette Soft® thread lift?

“I stood in the middle of my bedroom staring at my full length mirror. I poked and prodded and pulled and twisted the saggy folds of skin on my face. How did this creep up on me so quickly? I could barely recognise the woman looking back at me. Sure, I looked like any other woman would at the age of 45. I had started to develop wrinkles, my cheeks seemed like they had too much skin for my face and my jaw line was not firm and elastic as it used to be. I didn’t want to look like this. Not if there was something I could do about it.

 

I played around with the skin for a while wondering how I could get this back to how it used to be but without looking like I have been through hours of plastic surgery. I wouldn’t want that. I wanted to look naturally younger and I felt, at the time, that this was perhaps too much to ask.

 

After researching online and talking with a few others who had similar issues with self confidence and the way they had rapidly aged I heard about the Silhouette Soft® thread lift. I popped in for a consultation with an experienced doctor and had a long chat with him.

 

The doctor was full of information and explained:

‘The threads used in the Silhouette Soft® thread lift are actually composed of some special acids called polyactic and glycolic acids. These have been used for many many years in the beauty industry but also in general surgery too. The reason for their vast use is that they are incredibly safe but also biodegradable. This means that, overtime, the body will be able to break down and reabsorb the threads all by itself. As the threads are broken down there is a natural boost to collagen production in the area that the thread sat meaning that your skin will stay looking youthful for longer.’

 

I didn’t feel any pain during my treatment. That was a big concern of mine but I can really agree with others who said that it was painless. It was easy to notice an improvement in the shape of my face almost straight after the treatment but due to the concurrent stimulation of new collagen growth to come, I was told to expect even more improvement in the coming weeks.

 

I was not the only one impressed with the treatment. You see, I had the Silhouette Soft® thread lift done in secret. I didn’t really want others knowing what I have had done and so just didn’t tell anyone. Since my treatment I have had lots of my friends and family telling me that I look really well. They ask probing questions such as; have you changed your diet? Are you on one of those green smoothie regimes? Have you lost weight? Have you found a secret anti-ageing cream? I just smile back knowing that I had not been through half of the effort any of those things would have required. The interesting thing is that not one person has asked me if I had any sort of cosmetic surgery or treatment.

 

That is the great thing about the Silhouette Soft® thread lift. People don’t realise that you have had a treatment but know that you look much better! And really, the threads are completely natural and reabsorbed by the body which doesn’t mean you have some prosthetic thread stuck in your face.

 

I can’t really thing of any disadvantages to having this treatment. There were a few days of slight discomfort after having the treatment but this was to be expected as I had been through a cosmetic treatment. That being said, the discomfort was minor and went surprisingly quickly!

 

The only problem now is that I want to tell everyone about this incredible treatment and that means they will know it wasn’t all down to my new secret diet!”
