What are thread lifts?

They’re a synthetic absorbable surgical suture composed of polydioxanone. Thread lift sutures are used to perform cardiothoracic surgery (such as open-heart surgery). It’s one of the safest materials to be implanted in the body. Your skin fully absorbs it within 4 to 6 months & won’t leave you with any scar tissue.

How do thread lifts work?

The first one, called the NovaMesh, consists of creating a mesh under the skin. This Mesh will serve as the foundation for our new collagen production. The NovaMesh tightens the skin naturally from within. Results appear naturally, without any drastic change. The other technique, called the NovaLyft is utilized to produce a more dramatic and immediate result. The thread lift sutures have “barbs” or “cogs”, which provide a grip underneath the skin. Sutures are inserted the same way, except they can be pulled in 1 or 2 directions, creating an instant skin repositioning.

How is the procedure done?

The NovaThreads are needles that are preloaded with a thread. Simply insert the whole needle in the interstitial tissue at the subdermal level, parallel to the surface of the skin, & pull the needle out.
