Facial Rejuvenation – PDO Threads
HOUSTON, TX

A thread lift is a procedure that uses a dissolvable suture to tighten, lift and rejuvenate your skin.

PDO threads, also known as NovaThreads, are a type of facial rejuvenation treatment that can help you achieve a more youthful appearance without invasive surgery. These threads are made from a biocompatible material called polydioxanone (PDO), which has been used in medicine for decades.

PDO threads work by lifting and tightening the skin in a non-surgical way. The threads are inserted into the skin using a thin needle and are then gently pulled to create a lifting effect. This stimulates collagen production, which helps to improve the skin’s elasticity and firmness.

One of the great benefits of PDO threads is that they are absorbable, meaning that over time, they will naturally dissolve in the body. This makes the treatment safe and minimizes the risk of complications.

PDO threads provide a natural-looking lift to the face and can help to reduce the appearance of sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines. They offer a non-surgical alternative for those seeking a more youthful and refreshed look.

Areas of the Face that Can Be Treated with NovaThreads

NovaThreads, or PDO threads, can be used to treat various areas of the face for a more youthful appearance. One common area that can be treated is the cheeks. PDO threads can help to lift and tighten sagging skin in the cheeks, giving them a more defined and youthful contour.

Another area that can benefit from NovaThreads is the jawline and chin. These threads can help to tighten and lift sagging skin in this area, reducing the appearance of jowls and creating a more sculpted and defined jawline.

Additionally, PDO threads can be used to improve the appearance of the neck. They can help to lift sagging skin and reduce the appearance of neck bands or wrinkles.

NovaThreads can also be used to target fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. By inserting the threads into the skin, they can help to stimulate collagen production and improve the overall texture and firmness of the skin in these areas.
