NovaThreads® in Dallas, TX

If you are looking for a way to attain a youthful appearance without having to undergo plastic surgery, a PDO thread lift using the advanced NovaThreads can lift your facial skin for overall skin rejuvenation. Using the PDO (polydioxanone) NovaThreads method, we can provide this treatment in our Dallas, TX dermatology office, Adean Kingston, M.D., PLLC, as there is no general anesthesia required! Using absorbable sutures, Dr. Adean Kingston will place the threads under the skin precisely at the point and angle needed to take years off of your appearance. This treatment does not require any downtime and leads to immediate results. To learn more about the PDO thread lift using NovaThreads, call today and schedule your consultation appointment.

During your private consultation, Dr. Kingston may suggest combining the NovaThreads technique with other nonsurgical skin rejuvenation procedures to optimize your outcome and meet your aesthetic goals. Some common treatments that may be combined with a PDO thread lift include:

• Fillers: Injectable dermal fillers may be used to plump certain areas of your face where volume is lost.
• Skin tightening: If the skin is loose, it may be best to have a nonsurgical skin tightening procedure to firm up areas of concern so that the NovaThreads can have optimal results.
• Facial rejuvenation treatments: We offer an array of skin treatments, such as cosmetic grade skin care products, chemical peels, lasers, and more to even out the tone and texture of your maturing skin.
• Wrinkle relaxers: NovaThreads work very well with wrinkle relaxers (such as BOTOX and Dysport) to decrease the prominence of your facial wrinkles.

There are many reasons patients of Dr. Kingston choose advanced NovaThreads for their PDO thread lift. This procedure is also minimally invasive, making it a very safe and pain-free process. Our absorbable sutures in Dallas, TX provide immediate results that last a long time depending on your personal skin care routine at home. Additional benefits include:

• Reduced signs of aging and wrinkles
• Improved skin tone and texture
• Increased collagen production for a more youthful appearance
• Minimal downtime and generally painless recovery
• Customizable results tailored to your unique needs and goals
• Natural-looking, long-lasting outcomes with no scarring

If you are experiencing slight sagging in your facial skin (in the areas of your brows, cheeks, chin, and jowls), you may be a good candidate for NovaThreads at Adean Kingston, M.D., PLLC. We also use NovaThreads on patients who have had previous plastic surgery procedures on the face (such as a facelift, neck lift, or brow lift) to refresh their appearance without an invasive approach. A consultation with Dr. Adean Kingston will be necessary to determine your candidacy for a PDO thread lift using NovaThreads.

After your face has been cleansed, Dr. Kingston will mark your skin where the various threads will be placed. During a NovaThreads treatment, which takes place in one of our comfortable treatment rooms, you will be awake. We generally use topical and injectable lidocaine (a local anesthetic) to numb the area before the NovaThreads are inserted. Once the sutures are in place, they can be adjusted as necessary to give the skin the proper lift. Our team will provide you with aftercare instructions so that you can have a smooth recovery. Your face may have some swelling and be sensitive to palpation, and we advise that you take ibuprofen and tylenol to alleviate the side effects. As the NovaThreads dissolve into your skin, you will see a natural boost in collagen production and gorgeous skin. There is no significant downtime with NovaThreads!

Are NovaThreads safe?

Absolutely! NovaThreads are FDA-approved and have been used for years to improve the appearance of wrinkled skin. The absorbable sutures dissolve naturally within a short period and do not require removal by a medical professional. NovaThreads also help with collagen production and skin tightening, resulting in more youthful looking skin that you can be proud of!

Is the procedure painful?

While this procedure does not cause pain, it may cause some mild to moderate discomfort. Patients are awake during treatment, and thus, we will numb the area prior to starting the threading process. If you have concerns or fears, please discuss this with us at the consultation as we want the treatment to be as comfortable as possible and for you to leave our office looking and feeling great.

Will I look overdone?

No. You will not look pulled back or too tight. The goal of this treatment is to give you a younger-looking, subtle lift with as natural of a result as possible. NovaThreads are customized to your aesthetic needs and performed by Dr. Kingston who is certified in this procedure.

What are the different types of PDO threads?

• Smooth threads: These sutures are placed beneath the skin in a ladder pattern to stimulate collagen production. Smooth threads are used to tighten lines and wrinkles while improving skin laxity.
• Twist threads: Shaped like a coil, twist threads are inserted under the skin to boost facial volume and collagen generation.
• Barb threads: Barb threads pull the skin upward to produce a more lifted and contoured appearance. They can provide enhancements to the mid-face, neck, jawline, and jowls.

Which type of PDO thread lift is right for me?

After a consultation at our office, the type of PDO thread lift will be chosen based on your skin type and goals. Dr. Kingston often combines multiple types of PDO threads to target a patient's specific anti-aging concerns.
