A sculpted, youthful jawline has become one of the most sought-after beauty goals in recent years. To achieve these results without surgery, the buzz is all about NovaThreads®. These dissolvable sutures provide a subtle, natural lift without surgery. For those patients in Seattle, Redmond, and Kirkland who are seeking non-surgical jawline rejuvenation, NovaThreads at Kristin Tarbet, MD are quickly becoming the go-to choice.
What Are NovaThreads? How Do They Work?
NovaThreads are absorbable sutures made of PDO (polydioxanone), a biocompatible material commonly used in medical procedures. When placed beneath the skin, these threads create a gentle lifting effect while also stimulating your body’s natural collagen production.
Over time, the threads dissolve, but the collagen they leave behind continues to support tighter, firmer skin. This combination of immediate lift and long-term improvement is what makes the NovaThreads procedure so appealing to patients who want results without the commitment of surgery.
The Enduring Benefits of NovaThreads
NovaThreads stand out because they deliver both instant and progressive improvements. Patients often notice a visible lift right after treatment, while the long-term benefits unfold as collagen production increases in the treated areas. Key benefits include:
- Immediate lifting effect for sagging skin along the jawline and midface
- Collagen stimulation that enhances skin firmness over time
- Minimally invasive approach with no large incisions or scars
- Natural-looking results that preserve your unique facial expressions
- Gradual improvements in skin texture and elasticity over several months
- Versatility to target multiple areas, from the lower face to the neck
What Results Can You Expect?
Many patients notice immediate contouring after their NovaThreads treatment, with improvements continuing as collagen builds over the following months. Common benefits include:
- A more defined jawline
- Reduction in skin laxity along the lower face
- Smoother transition between the jaw and neck
- Restored youthful balance without looking “overdone”
How NovaThreads Compare to Other Options
While NovaThreads are highly effective for patients with mild to moderate laxity, they are just one of many advanced options for facial rejuvenation. Treatments like Morpheus8 or Ultherapy may be recommended to complement results, especially when additional tightening or skin quality improvements are desired. For patients needing a more dramatic lift, procedures such as FaceTite may be better suited.
The right approach depends on your anatomy, goals, and whether you prefer non-surgical or minimally invasive solutions.
FAQs About NovaThreads
How do NovaThreads compare to Silhouette InstaLift?
Both treatments are forms of thread lifting, but they work in slightly different ways. NovaThreads use smooth or barbed PDO sutures to lift and stimulate collagen, gradually improving skin quality as the threads dissolve. Silhouette InstaLift, on the other hand, uses threads with tiny cones that provide more immediate lifting power for patients with moderate laxity.
NovaThreads are often ideal for subtle jawline contouring and collagen stimulation, while Silhouette InstaLift may be better for patients who want a stronger lift. During your consultation, Dr. Tarbet will recommend the approach that best matches your goals and anatomy.
How much do NovaThreads cost in Seattle?
Costs vary depending on the number of threads and treatment areas. Financing is available, and your consultation will include a personalized treatment plan with detailed pricing.
