NovaThreads®

​

What are NOVATHREADS?

​

NovaThreads® is a new and innovative face-lift alternative with no cuts or incisions. NovaThreads®  are needles that are pre-loaded with a PDO (Polydioxanone ) thread. Simply insert the whole needle in the interstitial tissue at subdermal level, parallel to the surface of the skin, & pull the needle out. The treatment can fill wrinkles and slightly lift the skin. As a result of the PDO being easily absorbed by the body, the skin naturally produces collagen. It’s one of the safest materials to be implanted in the body.

​

Benefits:

​

• Natural results

• No surgery, No pain, No Scars

• Lunchtime procedure

• Uncontested for Neck & Jawline (but not limited to)

 

How does it work?

​

It’s amazingly simple, actually!

In medical terms “Selective Inflammatory Response” is the principle behind a lot of aesthetic procedures (such as Fractional Laser, Chemical Peels & MicroNeedling). Our skin is very good at repairing itself, and by inserting NOVATHREADS with PDO we make it heal itself by creating new collagen, naturally! During the first 4 to 6 months needed to fully absorb the PDO suture, your skin is naturally repairing itself around it and looks much younger! It’s “controlled healing” happening underneath the skin!

​

When NovaThreads procedure is used?

​

Although NOVATHREADS can be inserted almost anywhere, one area where they are especially effective is the neck and jawline. The lower third of the face is challenging to treat effectively with botulinum toxin or injectable fillers, which are most effective in the upper and middle third of the face, respectively.
