NovaThreads Thread Lift
NovaThreads offers a safe, non-surgical solution to lift sagging skin, smooth wrinkles, and restore youthful definition with minimal downtime.
Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation With Minimal Downtime
Do you feel like early signs of aging have diminished your youthful appearance, but the idea of undergoing invasive surgery just isn’t for you?
At Balikian Plastic Surgery, we understand that looking your best shouldn’t require major downtime or discomfort. That’s why we offer NovaThreads, a minimally invasive, non-surgical alternative to a facelift that helps lift and refresh the skin using advanced PDO thread technology.
Rejuvenate Your Skin Without Surgery
NovaThreads are absorbable, medical-grade sutures that are gently placed under the skin to lift sagging tissue and stimulate natural collagen production. Over time, the body absorbs the threads while continuing to build collagen around the treatment area, delivering longer-lasting, natural-looking results, without surgery.
- Results can last up to 12 to 18 months
- Minimal downtime, minimal discomfort
- Tightens skin, smooths wrinkles, and redefines contours
- Perfect for patients not ready for a facelift
NovaThreads offer a subtle yet effective way to restore youthful definition, making them an ideal choice for anyone seeking a refreshed look without going under the knife.
How NovaThreads Work
Our expert injectors use thin, dissolvable PDO threads to subtly lift and support the skin. These threads are inserted beneath the surface using a fine needle, then gently pulled to reposition tissue and stimulate collagen where it’s needed most.
As the body naturally absorbs the threads over 4 to 6 months, the newly formed collagen provides continued lift, volume, and improved skin elasticity for months after the procedure.
Thread Lift Techniques
NovaThreads treatments typically use two core techniques:
- NuMesh – Creates a lattice of threads (similar to a hashtag pattern) beneath the skin. This technique promotes natural collagen growth for gradual skin tightening and rejuvenation from within.
- NuLift – Delivers a more instant lifting effect by gently pulling sagging tissue in one or two directions. NuLift provides immediate improvement in facial contour while also stimulating collagen for longer-lasting support.
Together, these techniques can be tailored to your unique needs, offering both immediate lift and long-term rejuvenation with natural-looking results.
Common Treatment Areas
NovaThreads can treat a wide range of areas affected by aging or skin laxity, including:
- Brows
- Forehead lines
- Cheeks
- Neck
- Jowls
- Jawline
Our team will assess your facial anatomy and recommend the ideal technique and placement to meet your aesthetic goals.
Are NovaThreads Safe?
Yes, NovaThreads is considered a low-risk, minimally invasive treatment when performed by a trained medical provider. Side effects may include mild bruising, swelling, tenderness, or a temporary pulling sensation at the insertion site. These typically resolve within a few days.
To minimize risk and ensure the most natural outcome, it’s important to work with a highly experienced and reputable practice like Balikian Plastic Surgery. Our aesthetic injectors prioritize precision, comfort, and safety in every treatment.
How Much Do NovaThreads Cost?
The cost of your NovaThreads treatment will depend on the treatment area, number of threads used, and the specific lifting technique recommended.
