Thread lifts — dissolvable PDO threads that lift and firm without surgery.
Want a lift that’s more than filler but less than surgery?
As you get older, gravity may take a toll on your cheeks, jowls, and neck, giving you a tired, aged appearance. That’s where thread lifts by NovaThreads come in. NovaThreads can lift and contour the sagging tissues on your face and neck with absolutely no needles, anesthesia, or significant downtime.
Before a thread lift treatment, one of our expert providers will inject a local anesthetic into the treatment area. Then, they’ll use special needles to insert sutures, which are formulated with biodegradable polydioxanone (PDO).
Over time, your body will absorb the threads and stimulate the production of collagen so it can lift your tissues. Once collagen has naturally formed around your thread, you’ll enjoy optimal results.

After a thread lift treatment, you may notice some swelling and bruising for a few days. Although you can resume work and your daily activities immediately, stay away from strenuous exercise for at least one week.
A thread lift is a minimally invasive treatment that lifts and tightens sagging skin using dissolvable PDO (polydioxanone) threads. Placed just under the skin, the threads gently reposition tissue for an immediate subtle lift while also stimulating your own collagen for gradual, longer-term firming.
Thread lifts are commonly used to lift the cheeks, jawline, jowls, brows, and neck. They’re a popular option for patients who want more than injectables can offer but aren’t ready for surgery, with far less downtime than a surgical lift.
The procedure takes under an hour with only mild swelling or bruising for a few days. Results are visible right away and continue to improve as collagen builds, typically lasting a year or more. At ZENA Medical in Newport Beach, thread lifts are performed by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Zena Gabriel. Book a consultation to see if you’re a candidate.
