PDO Threadlifts by Novathreads
Lift, Tighten, and Rejuvenate Without Surgery
There comes a point in the aging process where skincare products and injectables alone aren’t enough to address sagging skin, but a surgical facelift feels like more than you’re ready for. That’s where PDO Threadlifts by NovaThreads come in. At Rejuvenation Center, we offer this minimally invasive treatment to lift and tighten loose skin on the face and neck while stimulating your body’s own collagen production, giving you a firmer, more contoured appearance without an operating room in sight.
NovaThreads uses fine, dissolvable sutures made of polydioxanone (PDO), a biocompatible material that has been used safely in medical settings for decades. Once placed beneath the skin, these threads provide an immediate lifting effect and then continue working behind the scenes, triggering your skin to rebuild its own collagen framework over the following months. The result is a natural, gradual improvement in firmness and contour that patients and their friends notice, without anyone being able to pinpoint exactly what changed.
What Can PDO Threadlifts Do For You?
Our patients turn to NovaThreads at Rejuvenation Center to address a range of concerns, including:
- Lifting sagging skin along the jawline, cheeks, and neck
- Softening the appearance of jowls and marionette lines
- Restoring a more defined jawline without surgery
- Smoothing fine lines and mild skin laxity
- Stimulating new collagen production for firmer, more resilient skin over time
Why Our Patients Choose NovaThreads
Unlike treatments that require weeks to show any change, NovaThreads lifts and repositions skin the moment the threads are placed. From there, your body’s collagen response continues to build, so your results improve over the following months.
NovaThreads is placed through tiny entry points using a fine needle or cannula, not incisions. There’s no cutting, no stitches to remove, and no general anesthesia involved.
Expect only mild, temporary side effects, such as swelling, redness, or bruising in the treated area, usually resolving within a few days. Many return to normal daily activities the same day or the next.
As the PDO threads dissolve naturally through hydrolysis over four to six months, the collagen structure they leave behind continues to support your skin for up to a year or more.
NovaThreads can be combined with neuromodulators or dermal fillers for a more complete rejuvenation, addressing volume, movement, and skin laxity together.
PDO Threadlifts – Your Questions Answered
Before treatment begins, a consultation determines which areas will benefit most from thread placement, tailored to your skin and goals. A local anesthetic is applied to the treatment area to keep you comfortable. Fine PDO threads are then inserted beneath the skin with a needle or cannula, carefully placed by your provider to lift and support the targeted areas. Once positioned, the threads are set in place, and any excess is trimmed.
Many patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or a slight pull during thread placement, rather than actual pain. The local anesthetic keeps discomfort to a minimum throughout the procedure.
A typical NovaThreads session takes about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on how many threads are placed and how many areas are being treated.
Downtime is minimal. You may notice some swelling, tenderness, or mild bruising for a few days afterward, but most patients return to their normal routine right away. We do recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and excessive facial movement for one to two weeks to let the threads settle properly.
We recommend waiting at least 24 hours before applying makeup to the treated area, giving your skin time to begin healing without added irritation.
Initial lifting is visible right away, and collagen-driven improvement continues to build over the following months. Most patients see results lasting 12 to 18 months, though the duration depends on factors such as the number of threads used, skin condition, and metabolism.
Patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who prefer a non-surgical, lifted, firmer look are ideal candidates for NovaThreads. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your skin to confirm you’re a good candidate and to determine the placement plan that will give you the most natural results.
