Most frequently asked questions and answers regarding PDO Threads

PDO Threads

Novathreads are hypodermic needles preloaded with a synthetic PDO absorbable suture. The doctor will strategically place the threads to cause an instant lift to unwanted sagging skin on the face and neck region. The sutures dissolve in 4-6 months; however, the results last upwards of years. The sutures under the skin create a stimulatory response which produces collagen to solidify a long-lasting lift.

What to Expect with PDO Threads

You will receive both a topical anesthetic as well as a few simple injections to thoroughly numb the area. Once that is performed, the area will be sanitized and markings will be placed on your skin to determine how to achieve the optimal lift. While the threads are being inserted you will only feel pressure. The entire procedure can be performed within 30-40 minutes.
