What does it feel like?

Many patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or a slight pull during thread placement, rather than actual pain. The local anesthetic keeps discomfort to a minimum.

How long does the treatment take?

A typical session takes about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on how many threads are placed and how many areas are treated.

When can I wear makeup?

Wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to the treated area.

How long do the results last?

Initial lifting is visible right away, and collagen-driven improvement builds over the following months. Most patients see results lasting 12 to 18 months, depending on the number of threads, skin condition, and metabolism.

Who is a good candidate?

Patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who prefer a non-surgical, lifted, firmer look. At your consultation, we evaluate your skin to confirm you're a good candidate and plan the placement that gives you the most natural results.

What is PDO Threadlifts by NovaThreads

What is PDO Threadlifts by NovaThreads?

There comes a point where skincare products and injectables alone aren't enough to address sagging skin, but a surgical facelift feels like more than you're ready for. That's where PDO Threadlifts by NovaThreads come in.

At Rejuvenation Center, we offer this minimally invasive treatment to lift and tighten loose skin on the face and neck while stimulating your body's own collagen production, for a firmer, more contoured appearance.

NovaThreads uses fine, dissolvable sutures made of polydioxanone (PDO), a biocompatible material that has been used safely in medical settings for decades.

What you’ll notice

Results right away

The threads lift and reposition skin the moment they're placed, and your body's collagen response keeps building from there.

A true alternative to surgery

Threads are placed through tiny entry points with a fine needle or cannula. No incisions, no stitches to remove, and no general anesthesia.

Minimal downtime

Expect only mild, temporary side effects, such as swelling, redness, or bruising, usually resolving within a few days.

Lasts beyond the treatment

As the threads dissolve, the collagen structure they leave behind continues to support your skin.

Pairs with other treatments

NovaThreads can be combined with neuromodulators or dermal fillers to address volume, movement, and skin laxity together.

How It Works

What to expect

01
Consult
A consultation determines which areas will benefit most from thread placement, tailored to your skin and goals.
02
Numb
A local anesthetic is applied to the treatment area to keep you comfortable.
03
Place
Fine PDO threads are inserted beneath the skin with a needle or cannula and carefully placed to lift and support the targeted areas.
04
Set
The threads are set in place and any excess is trimmed.

Initial lifting is visible right away, and collagen-driven improvement continues to build over the following months.

The PDO threads dissolve naturally through hydrolysis over four to six months, and the collagen structure they leave behind continues to support your skin for up to a year or more. Most patients see results lasting 12 to 18 months, depending on the number of threads used, skin condition, and metabolism.

You may notice swelling, tenderness, redness, or mild bruising for a few days. Most patients return to their normal routine right away.

Do

Wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to the treated area.

Skip

Strenuous exercise and excessive facial movement for one to two weeks, so the threads can settle properly.

What Our Patients Say

First time at the Rejuvenation Center, but all the ladies were super friendly and made me feel comfortable and very relaxed. Adrienne was fantastic and informative! I've had Botox before at other places in other states, but this center consulted with each other and gave you the Botox where you needed and where you would excel, not just inject where you say! Big difference! Highly recommend and I will be returning! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

I have been getting my Botox at the Rejuvenation Center now for a few years and always have a great experience. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and willing to accommodate preferences. They do not push units or products on you, but they will give recommendations if you ask or want the guidance. I won't be going anywhere else!

Arrived and immediately felt welcome.... I was nervous and did not know where to start for my skin care, but she went over. Everything answered my questions and advised me on what would be the best course of action.... Gave me a informed plan on where to go from here, thank you Made my appointment and I will be seeing her soon

Christel was absolutely amazing with my first massage. Having fibromyalgia, my experiences with massage had not been pleasant and resulted in increased pain. Christel had a great understanding of fibromyalgia and worked gently and gradually yet provided exceptional relaxation. I highly recommend her for your therapeutic massage needs!
