One of the greatest myths to looking and staying forever young without having to go under the knife and risk the development of potentially harmful complications has finally been debunked!

Since PDO Threads are essentially sutures that need to be injected into the skin, there are no incisions involved. You can think about it as a much-improved version of dermal fillers. At the Balshi Dermatology, a duly licensed practitioner will inject the Polydioxanone(PDO)-loaded needle through your skin and target the tissues in between cells at the level just under the skin. The needle is carefully inserted to run parallel to your skin’s surface and gently pulls it out, leaving the PDO Threads inside. This serves as your skin’s scaffolding, pulling it tighter, and stimulating the skin tissues to “repair” themselves around the polydioxanone suture. Experts call this “controlled healing”. Polydioxanone-embedded Threads gets naturally absorbed by the skin within 4 to 6 months without leaving any visible signs like scar and fibroid tissues on the skin. Best of all, PDO Threads stimulate the body’s skin into producing more collagen, adding to the compact tissue that will help push inner tissues outward, giving you tauter and more radiant skin. Additionally, this increased collagen production will help hold the skin for up to 15 months.

F.A.Q.s

Will it require surgery?

No cuts or incisions & the procedure it's purely injection based much like other fillers!

Where Are Threads Commonly Applied?

PDO Threads are commonly applied on the skin of the lower third of the face including the jawline and the neck; although, it can actually be applied almost anywhere. Typically, it is used in conjunction with other dermal rejuvenation treatments such as Botox injections, usually on the upper third of the face, and dermal fillers on the middle third of the face. One thing we need to understand is that a normal, “healthy” face typically follows a “V” shape, meaning the muscles of the head generally pulls on the muscles and skin tissues of the lower parts.

However, with aging and a lot of other factors, most particularly gravity, this natural tendency of the head to pull on the lower parts diminishes leading to a loss in the normal “V” shape of the face. The idea behind NovaThreads is to provide a framework or scaffolding upon which the different tissues of the lower face are kept integral, retaining the normal, “healthy” “V” shape of the face. In many cases the polydioxanone sutures carefully lift the subdermal tissues and reposition them in a way to recreate the classic “V” shape.

How does the Meshing & Lifting work?

A beautiful and healthy face has a “V-shape”. The idea behind the Threads is to create a scaffolding in order to support the tissues and keep them in the “V-shape”.
