A NovaThreads Thread Lift - The facelift alternative!

A beautiful and healthy face has a "V-shape". With the aging of tissues and the action of gravity, this "V-shape" gets lost. Until recently, the only way to address problems caused by facial skin laxity—such as jowls and drooping cheeks—was facelift surgery. With a NovaThreads Thread Lift, dissolvable sutures are used to produce a subtle but visible "lift" in the skin by creating a scaffolding that supports the tissues and keep them in the "V-shape". This has the effect of pulling the skin back slightly, lifting and tightening the face.

How does a NovaThreads Thread Lift work?

A NovaThreads Thread Lift is exactly what it sounds like. Using absorbable sutures, skin can be lifted and the mid and lower face can be re-contoured. Threads are inserted into the skin and can instantly tighten and lift problem areas like the cheeks, jowls, lips and neck, while stimulating the body to build collagen in the area where the sutures are placed. This process provides ongoing and progressive rejuvenation for the facial tissues. Patients who have a NovaThreads Thread Lift will notice a gradual improvement in their skin's tone and firmness.

What can I expect during my NovaThreads Thread Lift treatment?

• Before starting treatment, our expert injector will examine your face and discuss your goals to determine if a NovaThreads Thread Lift is right for you.
• During the treatment, a tiny preloaded needle is used to guide the threads into place under the skin. Your injector then leaves the thread beneath the skin when she removes the needle.
• Your skin gently reacts to the threads and begins repairing itself around the thread immediately.
• A NovaThreads Thread Lift can be performed in about 45 minutes, and, if you want to, you can go right back to work. Finding a trained, licensed injector is the key to a safe, effective NovaThreads Thread Lift. At Cosmetic Laser Center you are always in the hands of licensed and trained professionals.

Other common questions about a NovaThreads Thread Lift:

Q. Am I a good candidate for a NovaThreads Thread Lift?

The typical candidate for a NovaThreads Thread Lift is in their late 30s to early 60s. A person who is generally in good health and is just starting to notice the signs of aging may benefit the most from the subtle impact of a Thread Lift.

Q. Is a NovaThreads Thread Lift Safe?

Thread Lifts are considered a low-risk procedure with minimal recovery time, but side effects of redness, bruising, and swelling do occur.

Q. How much does a NovaThreads Thread Lift Cost?

The cost for a NovaThreads Thread Lift is hard to estimate until you attend your first consultation. The extent of treatment will vary from one individual to another. A NovaThreads Thread Lift is dramatically less expensive than a facelift.

Q. When will I see results?

Results are apparent right after the threads are put into place, but you may notice more in the days and weeks right after they are inserted. Some individuals enjoy long-term results for 1-2 years. For best results, we recommend combining a NovaThreads Thread Lift with other kinds of anti-aging procedures, such as Ultherapy.
