Polydioxanone is used for biomedical applications, particularly in cardiothoracic surgery because it is fully absorbed by hydrolysis within 4 to 6 months & doesn't create any scar tissue. The foreign body stimulates collagen synthesis & the skin structure created will hold for another 12 to 15 months.
NovaThreads are needles that are pre-loaded with a PDO thread. Simply insert the whole needle in the interstitial tissue at subdermal level, parallel to the surface of the skin & pull the needle out. The PDO thread remains under the skin.
A beautiful and healthy face has a "V-shape". With the aging of tissues and the action of gravity, this "V-shape" gets lost. The idea behind the Nova-Mesh and the Nova-Lift technique is to either create a scaffolding in order to support the tissues and keep them in the "V-shape", or where necessary, to delicately Lift the tissues and reposition the skin to recreate the "V-shape" where it’s been lost.
Although NOVATHREADS can be inserted / injected almost anywhere, one particular area that was missing a non-surgical procedure is the area of the Jaw & the Neck.

EZ-NECK MESH is an easy and effective technique for creating a scaffold that will provide support and tighten the sagging tissues. NovaThreads Smooths are most commonly used for this kind of procedure. More difficult cases may require the use of NovaThreads Barbs to create a Lift (EZ-NECK Lift).

EZ-LIPS FILL allows for quick and impressive results in redefining the vermilion border. It's a lot easier than injecting a filler, as you have 100% certainty of applying an equal amount of product on each side of the lip. The results are immediate and last for about 3 months. The procedure is usually performed with NovaThreads Smooths. However, when looking for a more noticeable increase of volume, the NovaThreads Twists are recommended.

EZ-KNEE MESH is considered an advanced technique as the use of longer and thicker NovaThreads smooth is required. The aim is again to create a scaffolding that will in time tighten the skin over time as well as improve its appearance and tone.

The EZ-JAW Lift is used to recreate the V-shape of the face when the EZ-CHEEK MESH alone is not enough. In these cases, the NovaThreads Barbs are necessary to reposition the skin and create a subtle & delicate lift that will greatly enhance the general appearance of the whole face.
Popular a decade ago, thread lifting fell out of favor due to unacceptably high complications. The reasons for those complications: the threads were permanent and required great surgical skills. Since this time, advances in thread lifting have been developed including the introduction of polydioxanone (PDO) threads, which are completely absorbable, safe, and effective for short-term facial and body rejuvenation.

Some of my patients used to travel to Europe to get a absorbable PDO Thread lift. So I decided to try it myself and the results have surpassed my expectations. I have no doubt that this will be the next great hit in the US. It attracts people looking for safer and quicker results at lower costs. It is very well tolerated by patients and has almost zero downtime. 35 years of experience in Medicine, 14 years in Aesthetics
I got my order and already went through quite a bit of threads, great results! Two weeks after the class I've already done several lifts and followed up with everyone, people are so happy with instant results, with minimal discomfort and can't wait to see final results in few weeks! Visage Sculpture
