Lift and refine facial contours by supporting lax skin, softening lines, and restoring definition. At AderaMD Aesthetics, we offer PDO thread lifts with NovaThreads to subtly reposition tissue and stimulate collagen, delivering natural, refined results that still look authentically you.
Restore Graceful Lift and Definition
A PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive treatment that uses dissolvable polydioxanone threads to gently lift, support, and reposition sagging skin. Once placed beneath the surface, the threads create immediate structure while stimulating natural collagen response. At AderaMD Aesthetics, we select personalized NovaThreads and placement techniques based on your unique facial anatomy. The goal is never to change your look: only natural, refined support that enhances your features while honoring what makes you, you.
PDO Thread Lift Helps With the Following Concerns:
- Mild to moderate skin laxity in the face and neck
- Sagging cheeks and early jowling
- Softening jawline definition
- Drooping brows or midface descent
- Fine lines caused by loss of structural support
- Early facial sagging without the need for surgery
How Do NovaThreads Work?
NovaThreads are made from polydioxanone, a biocompatible material long used in medical sutures. When carefully placed beneath the skin, the threads act like an internal scaffold, gently lifting and supporting the tissue. Over time, your body absorbs the PDO threads while producing new collagen around them. This collagen response helps strengthen the skin’s structure, improve firmness, and maintain subtle lift even after the threads dissolve.
Benefits of NovaThreads:
- Minimally invasive treatment with no surgery required
- Immediate lifting support with gradual collagen stimulation
- Dissolvable threads safely absorbed by the body over time
- Customizable placement tailored to your facial anatomy
- Natural, refined results without overcorrection
- Little to no downtime for most patients
PDO Thread Lift FAQs
What Does the Treatment Feel Like?
PDO thread lifts are performed with local anesthesia. You may feel gentle pressure or a pulling sensation as the threads are placed, but discomfort is minimal and brief. After treatment, some tenderness or tightness is normal and usually resolves within a few days.
Is There Downtime After a PDO Thread Lift?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild swelling, bruising, or soreness for a few days. However, most patients return to daily activities quickly, with a few temporary precautions such as avoiding strenuous exercise or exaggerated facial movements.
When Will I See the Results?
You’ll notice an immediate improvement in lift and contour, with continued enhancements over the following weeks as collagen production gradually increases. The results appear gradually rather than all at once, which helps maintain a natural look.
How Long Do PDO Thread Lift Results Last?
While the threads themselves dissolve over several months, the collagen they stimulate continues to support your skin well beyond that point. Most patients enjoy results for about 12 to 18 months, depending on lifestyle, skin quality, and how their body responds. Many choose periodic maintenance treatments to preserve their results over time.
Will My Results Look Obvious or Overdone?
Not when performed correctly. At AderaMD Aesthetics, we use conservative, precise placement techniques with NovaThreads to create a subtle lift and support. The goal is for others to notice that you look refreshed, not that you’ve had “work” done.
