Thread Lift

NovaThreads vs Botox vs Fillers

Imagine coming in for a treatment that can immediately lift your skin – without surgery.* Novathreads or NOVALIFT (Novathreads combined with dermal fillers) offer immediate and long term results via a simple in office procedure.* Performed by certified Novathread physician, Dr. Wendy Abraham, these 100% absorbable threads mean no more complications like older threadlifts.* Minimally-invasive, this lunchtime procedure results in a natural, lifted look that is visible instantly.* Novathreads are ideal for the neck and jawline, though their use is not limited to those areas. These PDO (polydioxanone) threads are used in biomedical applications – like cardiothoracic surgery. The area is numbed with a topical anesthetic and the threads are inserted using a needle without the need for incisions or cuts. While the threads are absorbed by the body within 4 to 6 months, the result of having the threads in an area stimulates collagen synthesis and the skin structure created will hold for another 6-9 months.* If you haven’t seen what Novathreads or a NOVALIFT can do, you will be amazed – it’s like internal scaffolding for sagging, loose, or wrinkled skin.*

What are NOVATHREADS?

They are hypodermic needles preloaded with a PDO absorbable suture.

No surgery, No pain*

Uncontested for Neck & Jawline (but not limited to)

How does it work?

It’s amazingly simple, actually!

Controlled Healing

Dissolvable PDO Threads

In medical terms “Selective Inflammatory Response”, it 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 we make it heal itself by creating new collagen, naturally!*

Your skin gently reacts to the inserted threads

Yes, PDO is fully absorbable, 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. It’s “controlled healing” happening underneath the skin!

No cuts or incisions.

Dissolvable PDO Threads

Purely injections!

The NovaThreads are needles that are pre-loaded with a PDO 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 PDO thread remains under the skin.

Restoring the V-Shape

NovaThreads V-Shape

A beautiful and healthy face has a “V-shape”. With the ageing of tissues and the action of gravity, this “V-shape” diminishes or inverts. The idea behind the Nu-Mesh and the Nu-Lift technique is to either create a scaffolding in order to support the tissues and keep them in the “V-shape” or where necessary to delicately lift the tissues and reposition the skin to recreate the “V-shape where it’s been lost.*

Neck & Jaw

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.
