As you get older, the effects of gravity may leave you with an aged, tired appearance. This is because gravity may weaken your facial structures and cause you to lose facial fat. The good news is there is a solution. Here at the L.A.B. med spa, we offer PDO threads to lift and contour sagging tissues on your face, neck and body without surgery. To perform this treatment, our expert technicians use NovaThreads.
After we inject a local anesthetic into your treatment areas, we’ll use special cannulas to insert threads, which are made of biodegradable polydioxanone (PDO). These sutures will be gradually absorbed by your body, stimulate the production of collagen, and lift your tissues. In about 3 – 6 months, once the collagen has naturally formed around the thread, you’ll enjoy complete results.
You may be a good candidate for NovaThreads if you:
Thread lift treatments usually take anywhere between 45 and 60 minutes to complete.
Once you receive a NovaThreads treatment, you’ll notice an improvement of lax skin on your face and neck. The maximum effect, however, will occur in 4 to 6 weeks. You’ll enjoy stronger facial muscles and greater definition of the cheeks & jawline. NovaThreads allows for a natural, subtle restoration of youth.
Keep in mind that bruising and swelling is normal and can be treated before the procedure with oral Arnica. Tissue asymmetry and irregularity is also common and will resolve on its own in about 2 weeks.
After treatment, we recommend you avoid excessive face animation for 2 weeks, massage and manipulation of facial tissues for 2 weeks, and microneedling for 2 weeks. In addition, refrain from strenuous exercise for 72 hours and dental procedures for 2 to 4 weeks.
You may experience swelling and bruising for a few days but can still return to work and your daily responsibilities right away.
