PDO threads offer a groundbreaking, non-surgical solution that subtly yet effectively lifts the skin, reducing the appearance of sagging, wrinkles, and fine lines. This technique provides immediate lifting effects by inserting absorbable threads with a fine needle. As the threads are gently pulled, they not only elevate the skin but also stimulate collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity and firmness over time.
One of the key advantages of PDO threads is their biocompatibility. Since they are made from the same material used in medical sutures, these threads safely dissolve within the body over several months, reducing the risk of complications and promoting a natural healing process.
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.
The procedure for NovaThreads treatment involves a few simple steps:
On the day of the procedure, the treatment area will be cleaned, and a numbing cream will be applied to ensure your comfort during the process. The numbing cream allows you to feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure.
The PDO threads are carefully inserted under the skin using a fine needle. These threads are strategically placed to lift sagging areas, improve skin firmness, and promote collagen production. The procedure typically takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
Once the threads are in place, your provider will gently reposition the skin to achieve the desired lift. The threads work as a support system, tightening and lifting sagging skin while enhancing facial contours for a rejuvenated, youthful appearance.
After the threads are positioned and the lift is achieved, any remaining threads are trimmed, and the treatment area is smoothed out. There are no visible scars, and the threads will gradually dissolve over time, stimulating collagen production as they do.
Following the procedure, you may experience mild swelling or bruising, but these side effects typically subside within a few days. Your provider will give you aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results. Most patients can return to normal activities immediately. However, it is important to follow any post-treatment instructions provided by your healthcare professional to ensure optimal results and minimize any potential complications.
After the treatment, you may experience some mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection sites. These side effects are temporary and should subside within a few days. It is recommended to avoid strenuous activities, excessive facial movements, and direct sun exposure for the first few days after the procedure.
Immediate improvements in skin tightness and firmness can be seen, with full results appearing over the next 2-3 months as the threads stimulate collagen production. The results are natural-looking and can last up to 18 months, depending on individual factors.
The procedure and recovery process of NovaThreads treatment is simple and convenient, making it a popular choice for those seeking a non-surgical solution to facial rejuvenation.
No, PDO threads are not a permanent solution for facial rejuvenation. The threads are made from absorbable materials and will naturally dissolve in the body over time. Typically, the effects of PDO threads can last for several months to a year, depending on the individual and the treatment area. However, the stimulation of collagen production can have long-term benefits for the skin’s elasticity and firmness.
The procedure for NovaThreads treatment involves the use of a numbing cream or local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. While some discomfort or mild pressure may be felt during the insertion of the threads, it is generally well-tolerated by patients. Most individuals report minimal pain or discomfort during and after the treatment.
As with any medical procedure, there are potential side effects and risks associated with NovaThreads treatment. These can include temporary swelling, bruising, redness, or mild discomfort at the injection sites. However, these side effects are typically mild and should subside within a few days. It is important to choose a qualified healthcare professional who has experience with NovaThreads to minimize any potential complications.
