PDO Thread Lift in Denver
PDO Threads in Denver
Is your skin starting to show wrinkles around your eyes? Have your cheeks begun to sag?
Signs of aging can affect our self-confidence and impact our social life. Don’t let wrinkles and fine lines hold you back – with a PDO thread lift, you can restore your skin to its youthful firmness and take years off your face.
PDO threads are used as an anti-aging treatment to tighten the skin, restore the V-Shape of the face, and even provide a lift to a sagging neck or jawline. NovaThreads’ PDO sutures treat issues associated with fine lines, sagging skin, loose skin, and wrinkles. The procedure is non-surgical, painless, and short enough to schedule during your lunch break.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Nova Threads are hypodermic needles preloaded with a PDO absorbable suture.
It's a synthetic absorbable surgical suture composed of polydiaxanone (PDO). PDO sutures are used to perform cardiothoracic surgery and are one of the safest materials to be implanted in the body. Your skin fully absorbs the suture within 4 to 6 months, leaving no scar tissue.
In medical terms, "selective inflammatory response" is the principle behind many aesthetic procedures (such as Fractional Laser, Chemical Peels, and MicroNeedling). Our skin is excellent at repairing itself, and by inserting NovaThreads, we make it "heal" itself by creating new collagen naturally. Your skin gently reacts to the inserted threads.
The NovaThreads are needles that are preloaded with a PDO thread. We simply insert the entire needle into the interstitial tissue at the subdermal level, parallel to the surface of the skin, and pull the needle out. The PDO thread remains under the skin.
PDO threads are generally safe, and most people can undergo a PDO thread lift. However, consult with our team if you:
- Have a skin infection or an acne outbreak
- Have recently undergone cosmetic surgery
- Have a medical condition that affects your blood clotting ability
- Are currently pregnant
A consultation will be held prior to the treatment, where our Body Massage Wellness Spa experts will evaluate your cosmetic needs. On the scheduled treatment date, you are asked to come without any makeup. You will also be advised to:
- Stop taking anti-inflammatory medications and blood thinners for 24 hours
- Avoid drinking alcohol or smoking for 1-2 days before the treatment
- Stop taking any vitamins for a week before the procedure
- Postpone any other cosmetic treatment until after the PDO thread lift heals
- Avoid working out for 24 hours before the treatment
Following the treatment, some of the post-treatment tips to follow are:
- Avoid excessive facial expressions for at least a day
- Don't exercise or lift heavy objects for a day or two
- Take medications or blood thinners only 7 days post-treatment
- Use prescribed antibiotics if needed
- Avoid exposing your face to heat or cold for 7-10 days
- Wash your face gently and avoid pressing the treatment site
- Schedule other cosmetic, dental, or medical procedures a few weeks after the PDO thread lift
Our team at Body Massage Wellness Spa may ask you to come in for follow-up sessions to check the progress of your healing.
Depending on your skin care, the results of your PDO thread lifting may last between 12 and 18 months.
You can get PDO threads whenever you notice that droopiness and fine lines have returned.
