Silhouette Soft threads are FDA-cleared absorbable lifting threads made of PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid), a biocompatible material widely used in regenerative aesthetic medicine for both lifting and collagen stimulation. These threads contain bidirectional absorbable cones that provide flexibility, strong tissue grip, and better adaptation to the natural movement of the face.

The cone-based structure allows the threads to reposition mildly to moderately sagging tissues while maintaining a natural appearance without excessive tension. In addition to the lifting effect, Silhouette Soft threads stimulate collagen production over time, improving skin quality, firmness, and overall rejuvenation.

One of the important advantages of Silhouette Soft threads is their long-lasting lifting and regenerative effect with minimal downtime. They are commonly used for mild to moderate facial sagging in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, nasolabial folds, and midface where both lift and tissue quality improvement are desired.

Aptos threads are internationally recognized lifting threads with medical certifications and approvals in multiple countries for aesthetic lifting and rejuvenation procedures. They are designed with specialized barbs and thread structures that allow strong tissue engagement and effective repositioning of sagging areas while maintaining a natural facial expression.

Aptos threads are commonly made from absorbable biocompatible materials such as Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) and Caprolactone, which not only provide lifting effects but also stimulate collagen production and long-term skin rejuvenation. Their advanced design allows access to deeper tissue layers and facial retaining ligaments, making them suitable for facial contouring and tissue support.

One of the main advantages of Aptos threads is the combination of lifting, tightening, and regenerative effects with minimal downtime and without the need for surgery. They are often used for mild to moderate skin laxity in areas such as the jawline, cheeks, midface, neck, and eyebrow lift. The procedure is performed in-office under local anesthesia and allows patients to return to daily activities relatively quickly.

COG threads are absorbable lifting threads commonly made from materials such as PDO (Polydioxanone), PLLA, or PCL, designed with tiny barbs along the thread structure to mechanically lift and support sagging tissues. In Canada, the American Revive COG threads are among the approved lifting thread options used for non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures.

The barbed structure of COG threads helps anchor the tissue while also stimulating fibrosis and collagen production around the threads, creating both structural support and skin tightening over time. One of the unique advantages of COG threads is their combination of immediate lifting effects with delayed regenerative improvement as new collagen forms during the healing process.

COG thread lifting is a minimally invasive office procedure with relatively little downtime and is often chosen by patients looking for a more affordable lifting option compared to advanced cone-based thread systems. These threads are commonly used for jawline definition, cheek lifting, nasolabial folds, eyebrow lifting, nose lifting, and mild to moderate facial sagging. Depending on skin quality, lifestyle, and thread type, results may last approximately one to one and a half years.
