Mild sagging can change the shape of your cheeks, jawline, and neck. NovaThread PDO Thread Face Lift in Tarzana uses absorbable threads to lift selected areas and support collagen over time. Book your NovaThread PDO thread face lift at Glow Aesthetic Center today.
A PDO thread lift is a non-surgical treatment that uses absorbable sutures placed beneath the skin to create a subtle lift and support firmer-looking skin. NovaThreads are made from polydioxanone, also called PDO, a material commonly used in medical sutures.
At Glow Aesthetic Center in Tarzana, NovaThread PDO Thread Face Lift treatment is planned around your facial structure, skin laxity, and desired level of lift. We look at the cheeks, brows, jawline, jowls, and neck to decide where threads may be useful.
This treatment may help mild to moderate sagging, but it does not replace a surgical facelift for advanced laxity.
PDO threads are placed under the skin using a fine cannula. Once positioned, the threads create immediate mechanical support in selected areas. Some thread types are made to lift, while others are used to support collagen activity and improve the look of skin quality.
The threads gradually dissolve over several months through a natural breakdown process. As they dissolve, the body responds around the treated area by supporting collagen production. Collagen helps skin look firmer, smoother, and more supported.
Some lift may be visible right away, especially in areas treated with lifting threads. Skin firmness and texture may continue to improve over the following weeks.
NovaThread PDO thread lift treatment can be used in several areas where mild sagging or loss of support has changed facial shape. Your provider will confirm the right areas during consultation.
PDO threads may help lift mild cheek sagging and support a softer midface contour. Cheek treatment can also improve how the lower face appears by adding support higher on the face.
Jowls can develop as skin support changes along the jawline. Lifting threads may help soften early jowling and create a cleaner lower-face outline.
A subtle brow lift may help open the eye area when mild brow heaviness is present. This treatment is planned carefully so the result stays natural.
PDO threads may be used for mild neck laxity or vertical banding when the skin needs support. More advanced neck looseness may require another treatment approach.
Thread placement along the jawline can help improve definition when mild laxity has blurred the lower-face contour.
Different PDO threads serve different treatment goals, so your provider may use one type or a combination. The right choice depends on the area being treated and the level of lift or collagen support needed.
Barb threads have small anchors that grip tissue and provide lift. These threads are often used for areas such as the cheeks, jowls, and jawline where support and repositioning are the main goals.
Smooth threads do not provide the same lifting effect as barbed threads. They are often used to support collagen activity and improve the look of fine lines, texture, or thin-looking skin.
Twist threads are coiled or intertwined to provide subtle volume support in selected areas. They may be discussed when the goal is soft tissue support rather than a stronger lift.
PDO thread face lift treatment can be a good option for patients in Tarzana who want a lifted look without surgery. Potential benefits include:
A careful plan keeps the result balanced. Your provider will recommend the thread type, count, and placement based on your facial anatomy.
Here is what you can expect from your NovaThread PDO thread facelift at Glow Aesthetic Center in Tarzana.
Your visit begins with a discussion about your concerns, treatment history, medical history, medications, allergies, skin laxity, and upcoming events. Your provider will assess your face at rest and during expression to decide if PDO threads are suitable.
Your provider will map the treatment areas and explain where threads may be placed. We will discuss expected lift, collagen support, downtime, and aftercare.
The treatment area is cleansed before placement. Local numbing may be used to improve comfort. Your provider will make sure the skin is prepared, and the placement plan is clear before starting.
A fine cannula is used to place the thread beneath the skin. Once the thread is positioned, the cannula is removed, and the thread remains under the skin. You may feel pressure, pulling, or tightness during placement.
You may notice an early lifted look right after treatment. Mild swelling, bruising, soreness, tightness, or dimpling can happen.
PDO thread lift treatment may be suitable for healthy adults with mild to moderate skin laxity who want a non-surgical lift. A consultation is needed because thread lifts work best when the skin still has enough elasticity to respond.
| PDO thread lift may be suitable for | PDO thread lift may not be suitable for |
| Adults with mild cheek or jowl sagging | Patients with severe skin laxity needing surgical evaluation |
| Patients who want a non-surgical lift | Patients with active infection near the treatment area |
| People with early jawline or neck looseness | Patients who are pregnant or nursing |
| Patients with realistic expectations about subtle lift | Patients with certain bleeding disorders |
| People who can follow aftercare instructions | Patients expecting the same result as facelift surgery |
Some patients may get better results from filler, skin tightening, neuromodulators, or a combined plan.
Plan your NovaThread PDO thread face lift several weeks before photos, travel, or a major event. Bruising, swelling, tenderness, or temporary skin irregularity can happen, and the area needs time to settle.
Results vary by thread type, placement, skin quality, age, lifestyle, and degree of laxity. Some lift can appear right away, while collagen support develops gradually. Many patients notice ongoing improvement over the following weeks.
Maintenance timing varies. PDO threads dissolve over several months, but collagen support may last longer. Your provider may recommend maintenance treatments or a combined plan to support your result.
Aftercare helps protect thread placement while the area settles. Your provider will give instructions based on the areas treated.
Avoid rubbing, massaging, or applying firm pressure to the treated areas. Sleep on your back with your head elevated for the first few nights if possible. Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, hot tubs, facial massage, dental work, wide chewing movements, smoking, and drinking through a straw for the timeframe recommended by your provider. Contact Glow Aesthetic Center if you notice severe pain, unusual swelling, skin color changes, or symptoms that concern you.
Mild sagging does not always require surgery. NovaThread PDO Thread Face Lift in Tarzana at Glow Aesthetic Center gives you a tailored way to lift selected areas, support collagen, and refine facial contours with absorbable threads. Contact Glow Aesthetic Center today to book your NovaThread PDO thread face lift.

Most PDO thread lift appointments take about 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas treated and the number of threads used.
Some lift may be visible right away. Collagen-related improvement can continue over the following weeks as the treated area responds.
Results vary by skin quality, thread type, placement, and lifestyle. The threads dissolve over several months, while collagen support may last longer.
Local numbing is used to improve comfort. Patients may feel pressure, pulling, tightness, or soreness during and after treatment.
Downtime is usually limited, but bruising, swelling, tenderness, tightness, or temporary dimpling can occur. Your provider will explain what to expect.
PDO threads can often be combined with filler, Botox, or skin treatments as part of a facial plan. Your provider will recommend safe timing based on your goals.
