Pdo Threads/nova Threads In Kansas City
Pdo Threads/nova Threads
If you want to smooth and tighten skin while retaining the natural look of your face, then using PDO threads can be a more suitable option than many other treatments.
With exciting new technology, we can lift areas of your face quickly while still providing long-lasting, safe results.
What is the Difference Between PDO Threads and Nova Threads?
PDO threads are the generalized category, and there are several different brands. At Plaza Aesthetics and Wellness, we use FDA-approved Nova threads produced in the US.
PDO Threads/Nova Threads perform the same function. They are sterile sutures that we place in the face or body to help with laxity and rejuvenation. We primarily use them to lift the face and stimulate collagen production in a specific area.
They are made from biodegradable, fully dissolvable polydioxanone, which has been used as absorbable surgical sutures for over 50 years. They come in various sizes, ranging from very thin single sutures to thick braided ones.
Nova Threads can last 2 to 15 months, depending on the thread’s placement, size, and structure.

How are PDO Threads/Nova Threads Used?
In Kansas City PDO Threads/Nova Threads can be used alone or in conjunction with other devices and injectables to get the desired result.
Needles are inserted into the skin, and a thread is left behind when the needle is removed. This thread stimulates collagen synthesis, and the skin structure created by the thread will hold over time. Most commonly, the threads are placed near the brows, in the nasolabial folds, the jowls, and the jawline and help to physically lift sagging tissue and stimulate collagen production.
Before the procedure, we would numb the area where we would place the incision and thread. If we want to do some lifting in the mid-lower face, we sometimes don’t even need an injectable and would use topical lidocaine. Nova Threads can also be placed along the borders of lips to stimulate collagen and elastin for a fuller, more toned appearance.
Botox vs. PDO Threads/Nova Threads
Botox and PDO threads are completely different procedures. Botox is placed in different areas on the face and doesn’t lift the tissue but paralyzes it. Nova threads help raise sagging tissue and allow new collagen production, while Botox relaxes the muscle underneath the skin.
Especially for lower face laxity or areas that need more definition, Botox is not an appropriate treatment. Before PDO thread technology was developed, we used dermal fillers for brows and along the jawline, which often left patients looking over full. This has led to hesitancy in patients when it comes to using dermal fillers and has increased the popularity of PDO threads in the aesthetic market.
The procedure of Botox and PDO threads have entirely different mechanisms of action. For example, instead of restoring volume in the face like a dermal filler, we lift and apply a thread with a hook on the end. The threads are tied off and cut and stay in place, keeping the area lifted. They will start to relax over time, but at this stage, new collagen and elastin would have been produced to help keep the new and improved shape.
Botox is an entirely different procedure, and for patients wanting something more natural, PDO threads are a better option.
Choose the Best for Your PDO Thread Treatment
When choosing a medical spa for your Kansas City PDO thread procedure, it is best to look for a physician-owned and operated establishment. Not only will they have highly trained professionals on the staff, but they will also have a comprehensive patient treatment plan from the first consultation through to the last procedure.
PDO thread procedures tackle a very specific layer of the skin, and training is imperative. For example, if a Nova thread is placed incorrectly, it could come out or cause severe pain. Putting PDO threads in the face is a nuanced procedure requiring a knowledgeable hand.
