PDO Thread Lift NYC

What are benefits Novathreads?

NovaThreads is a non-invasive treatment that improves loose and sagging skin. A more detailed description is that they are absorbable surgical sutures composed of polydioxanone. These sutures have been used in cardiac surgeries for the past 60 years or more and are the safest materials to be implanted in the body.

How Novathreads work?

A beautiful and healthy face has a “V-shape”.  As we age, this “V-shape” diminishes or inverts. Novathreads create a frame to support the tissues and keep them in the “V-shape”.  Novathreads are especially effective is the neck and jawline. This area is more challenging to treat effectively with Botox or fillers. These threads are placed underneath the skin to lift the loose skin, which heals itself by naturally creating new collagen.

What can I expect during my appointment?

During the treatment, a preloaded needle is inserted into the skin. Doctor Yagudin then leaves the thread beneath the skin when he removes the needle. Your skin gently reacts to the threads and begins repairing itself around the

The threads can be placed to stimulate collagen in areas of volume loss or to fill a fold. They can also can be used to pull and tighten the skin, such as that of the neck or brows. Over the next 4-6 months, your skin absorbs the threads and they won’t leave behind scar tissue.

How long will my results last?

NovaThreads are a quick and easy way to get immediate results with long-term benefits. The PDO thread will be absorbed by your body, but that doesn’t mean your skin won’t react to it. During the 4 to 6 months needed to fully absorb the PDO suture, your skin is also repairing itself around it.
That repair process is called “controlled healing”. In medical terms “selective inflammatory response” is the principle behind a lot of aesthetic procedures (such as fractional laser, chemical peels, and microneedling). Our skin is very good at repairing itself, and by inserting Novathreads we make it heal itself by creating new collagen, naturally!
NovaThreads can be used on their own as well as a great enhancement to fillers and Botox.

When will I see results?

The barbed PDO Threads provide an instant youthful lift. For both smooth and barbed threads, the collagen stimulating process can take 2 to 3 months to see and will continue to improve for up to 18 months.

What is the downtime?

Bruising and swelling are common with this procedure so you want to schedule your appointment accordingly. We do our best to minimize bruising with our Accu Vein technology and also by applying arnica and ice post procedure. We also provide specific post treatment instructions to expedite your healing process. The swelling will subside over several days to a week..

 

Is it painful?

A local injection of Lidocaine provides instant numbing, which helps minimize any pain you might experience with the injections. Following a treatment with barbed threads, there can be tenderness and sometimes a “pulling” or “small pricking” sensation but the revitalized outcome is well worth a few weeks of mild discomfort.
