NovaThreads FAQ

  • PDO threads are dissolvable medical sutures placed under the skin to physically lift and reposition sagging tissue.

  • As the threads naturally break down over time, they trigger your body’s healing process to build a strong network of new collagen, which sustains the lift and improves skin quality.

  • Yes. NovaThreads hold FDA 510(k) clearances across their complete product range — giving you the confidence of a safe, medically regulated treatment.

  • NovaThreads are versatile. Lifting threads are used to physically elevate the jawline, cheeks, and neck. For fine lines, Smooth threads are used to firm delicate areas like the under-eyes, lip border, and horizontal neck lines.

  • Downtime is minimal for most patients. You may experience some mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness for a few days, and some temporary tightness at the treatment area is normal. Most people feel comfortable returning to their routine within 3–5 days, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and facial treatments for about two weeks.

    Results typically last 12–18 months. As the threads gradually dissolve, they continue to stimulate collagen production — so your skin keeps benefiting even after the threads are gone.
