Silhouette Soft 12 Cones 2 Sutures 5 Packs

Description

Silhouette Soft 12 Cones 2 Sutures, also known as Silhouette Soft B, is a specialized non-surgical facelift procedure using absorbable polylactic acid sutures with bi-directional cones. Here’s a detailed overview of its features, uses, and application process:

Overview of Silhouette Soft 12 Cones 2 Sutures

• Material and Technology: The sutures are made of polylactic acid, a biodegradable material that gradually dissolves in the skin. The cones on the sutures are made of lactide glycolide, which helps to anchor the threads and lift the skin effectively.
• Uses: Silhouette Soft B is primarily used for correcting early signs of aging and mild sagging in areas such as the mid-face, cheeks, cheekbones, jawline, eyebrows, and neck. It offers a non-surgical alternative to traditional facelift procedures, providing lift and contour improvement.
• Procedure: Administered by trained medical professionals, Silhouette Soft B is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure. It typically takes about 30 minutes and can be combined with other aesthetic treatments. Local anesthesia is used, minimizing discomfort during the procedure.

Application Process

1. Preparation: Disinfect the treatment area thoroughly. Draw a pattern on the patient’s skin using a ruler to guide the placement of the sutures.
2. Suture Selection: Choose the appropriate Silhouette Soft B product based on the number of cones and length of the sutures:
   • Silhouette Soft B 8: 8 cones spaced 0.5 cm apart on a 30 cm long suture.
   • Silhouette Soft B 12: 12 cones spaced 0.8 cm apart on a 27.5 cm long suture.
   • Silhouette Soft B 16: 16 cones spaced 0.8 cm apart on a 26.8 cm long suture.
3. Insertion Technique: Use an 18G needle to create an entry point into the skin. Insert the suture to a depth of 5 mm beneath the skin, aiming for the subcutaneous tissue indicated by a marking on the needle.
4. Thread Placement: After insertion, orient the needle horizontally and guide it through the subcutaneous tissue to the exit point. Pull gently on the thread to position the cones within the adipose tissue.
5. Secure Placement: Once both ends of the suture are in place, apply gentle pressure while pulling on the exposed ends to ensure the cones are securely anchored in the tissue.
6. Trimming: Trim the excess suture ends after ensuring proper placement and tension.

Mechanism of Action and Results

• Collagen Stimulation: Silhouette Soft B stimulates collagen production around the sutures. As the polylactic acid dissolves over time (around 181 days), it leaves behind a framework of natural collagen that supports lifted and rejuvenated skin.
• Duration of Results: The effects of Silhouette Soft B can last between 18 to 24 months. Regular maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain the results as collagen production naturally declines with age.

Safety Considerations

• Adverse Effects: Potential side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness, or redness at the injection sites. Serious complications are rare but may include infection or allergic reactions to the sutures.
• Contraindications: Patients with allergies to any components of Silhouette Soft B, active skin infections, or certain medical conditions should not undergo this procedure.
