What are PDO NovaThreads?

NovaThreads lift sagging skin and stimulate collagen production for a tighter, more youthful appearance. With immediate results that last up to 15 months and no downtime, it’s a minimally invasive and temporary alternative to a surgical facelift.

How do PDO NovaThreads work?

Ultra-thin needles inject synthetic polydioxanone (PDO) threads into the treatment area, lifting the skin while simultaneously stimulating collagen production. Your body absorbs the threads over the next four to six months—even after they’re fully absorbed, your body continues generating collagen to maintain the lifting effect.

Things to Keep In Mind for Treatment

  1. Note that you must notify The Skin Center prior to treatment if you take prescribed blood thinners.
  2. Avoid the following for 10 days before treatment: Blood thinners (including aspirin or any aspirin-containing products), anti-inflammatory, analgesic drugs (including NSAIDs such as Aleve, ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin), St. Johns Wort, omega-3s, and vitamin E.
  3. Refrain from consuming alcohol for 10 days before treatment.
  4. Refrain from having surgical procedures for two weeks before treatment.
  5. Refrain from having routine procedures such as dental work for two weeks before treatment.

PDO NovaThreads FAQ
  • Am I a candidate for PDO NovaThreads?

    Ideal NovaThreads candidates show minimal signs of aging, but they want a subtle lift without having to undergo a surgical procedure.

  • Is there any downtime?

    There is no downtime associated with NovaThreads. The treatment is minimally invasive, so patients can typically return to normal activity immediately after.

  • Are there any side effects?

    Side effects are minimal and may include swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the treatment area. These side effects typically last a few weeks after treatment. You may also experience a stinging or pulling sensation along with some discomfort for approximately two to four weeks after treatment.

  • When will I see results?

    You will notice a natural-looking, lifted appearance immediately after treatment, and your skin will produce collagen for months after the treatment. Together, the sutures and collagen in your skin can produce results that last up to 15 months.
