What are PDO Threads?

Using novathreads, sagging skin can be lifted and tightened instantly!

NovaThreads are a revolutionary minimally-invasive skin rejuvenation technique where special surgical threads are strategically placed to gently lift and tighten loose or sagging skin. This procedure is highly effective for softening marionette lines, improving jowls, and generally addressing skin laxity affecting the face, neck and other areas of the body, to give a more youthful appearance. These threads stimulate your own collagen production producing long-lasting and natural results.

What are the benefits of a PDO lift?

A polydioxanone (PDO) thread lift treatment lifts and tightens the skin while encouraging it to regenerate itself. When your skin loses its natural resilience, repetitive muscle movements (such as squinting, smiling, laughing, or frowning) can produce permanent lines.

Instantly improve sagging skin like “turkey necks,” and facial lines

Reduce/eliminate “water bottle” lines around the lips

Improve skin texture through collagen formation

Reduce the appearance of marionette lines

Minimal Treatment. Significant Results.

Am I a good candidate for PDO Threads?

Aging issues are a common concern for both men and women. PDO Threads may be an excellent option if your concerns include:

  • Your cheeks have lost volume or structure
  • Deep wrinkles on your forehead
  • Drooping brows
  • Jowls

All of these issues can be addressed with a simple, minimally invasive PDO thread lift treatment. The majority of patients may complete the treatment in less than an hour and notice effects right away. The amount of pain or discomfort experienced is usually modest, and patients can return to their normal activities within 24 hours.

Your PDO Threads Procedure

But how does the skin stay in place?

As the PDO Threads dissolve, the skin builds new collagen to secure the lift, naturally anchoring skin where you want it to be. NovaThreads is a surgical suture composed of polydioxanone or “PDO”; these sutures are used to perform cardiothoracic surgery (such as open-heart surgery), and are one of the safest materials to be implanted in the body. Absorbable threads are placed under the skin to tighten and improve wrinkles and sagging areas. Not only does Dr. Ibrahim offer the NovaThreads treatment at his practice, but he is also an instructor of the procedure, teaching physicians all over the U.S. about this advanced anti-aging method.

PDO Thread Lift Recovery

A PDO thread lift usually results in a speedy and painless recovery.

The majority of our Asheville PDO Threads patients are able to resume most of their normal activities the next day. Slight redness or swelling may occur, but this may be handled with a cold compress and should go away on its own in one to two days. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help you manage your discomfort.

During the first week or two after your PDO Threads treatment, you should avoid doing anything that puts undue tension on the threads, such as rubbing your face and pursing your lips (for example, sipping through a straw or smoking), sleeping on your face, and severe exercise are all activities to avoid. As your skin recovers, it will be vital that you protect it from unnecessary sun and environmental exposure. Your provider will provide precise advice customized to your lifestyle to help you recover as quickly as possible and get the best possible outcome.

PDO Thread Lift Results

Results are immediate and improve over time

Since PDO Threads is minimally invasive, patients experience little or no downtime as the sutures dissolve. Full absorption typically occurs within four to six months and will not leave scar tissue. Patients experience little to no bruising. While the threads dissolve, they leave behind a collagen matrix that will maintain results for three or more years.

The best way to keep your results for as long as possible is to avoid sun damage and keep your skin healthy. Some patients, on the other hand, will require further treatments in order to achieve their full potential. Following your provider's post-treatment instructions is essential to ensuring that your younger, healthier-looking skin will last for many years to come.

Look younger in under an hour.
