What are Nova PDO Threads?

Nova PDO Threads are fine, absorbable sutures made of polydioxanone (PDO), a material long used in surgical sutures and now elegantly applied in cosmetic medicine. These threads are inserted just beneath the skin to provide a subtle lift while stimulating the body’s natural collagen response.

Where can they be used?

This treatment is ideal for treating mild-to-moderate skin laxity in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, jowls, neck, under-chin and even décolletage. At our practice, we tailor placement and thread type (smooth, twisted, or barbed) to your specific concerns.

Who is a good candidate?

If you are noticing sagging or lax skin but want to avoid surgery, NovaThreads may be an excellent option. The best results come when the skin still has some elasticity and the laxity is moderate. Those with very advanced sagging or heavy excess skin may require surgical options.

What can you expect and how is the recovery?

The procedure is done under local anesthesia, takes about 30-60 minutes, and most patients can return to normal activities shortly after. You may experience some swelling or bruising for a few days. It’s advised to avoid strenuous activity, overly expressive facial movements, or heavy pressure on treated areas during the first week. The threads dissolve in about 4-6 months, but the collagen they stimulate continues to improve skin texture and firmness for about a year-plus.

What kind of results and how long do they last?

You’ll often notice a lift or improved contour right away. Over the next 2-3 months, you’ll see gradual improvement as collagen builds. Results typically last 12-18 months (and in some cases up to 24 months), depending on your skin, lifestyle and the area treated. Because the procedure is non-surgical, maintenance treatments can be planned when desired.
