Thread Lifting: An Ideal Alternative to Facelifts

Thread lifting with NovaThreads restores youthful facial contours by creating a natural "v-shaped" silhouette. The procedure uses absorbable PDO sutures to lift the face immediately while encouraging collagen production for sustained results.

Ideal Candidates for NovaThreads

NovaThreads are perfect for patients with sagging, wrinkled, or drooping skin who want long-term natural enhancements without invasive surgery. Most patients can resume daily activities immediately after treatment.

NovaThreads Treatment Process at Acqua Blu Medical Spa

Dr. Brian Heil carefully examines each patient's facial structure and discusses their goals to create a customized treatment plan. The procedure uses local anesthesia for comfort. Pre-threaded needles are inserted to suspend facial tissue, providing an immediate lift. Over time, collagen forms around the dissolving threads for long-lasting results.

Quick Recovery with Minimal Downtime

Patients may experience mild swelling and redness for a few days after treatment. Most can return to work the next day, avoiding strenuous activities for 3-5 days. Results are visible immediately and continue to improve as collagen production increases.

Acqua Blu Medical Spa, led by board-certified cosmetic surgeon Dr. Brian V. Heil, offers state-of-the-art non-surgical treatments like NovaThreads in Pittsburgh.

I was looking to get botox and maybe fillers for my face, so I went to Acquablu in Upper St. Clair. During my initial consultation, I got convinced to go with PRX derm instead. It was explained to me that the treatment will “tighten, tone and lift the skin”. So, I went ahead and booked 4 sessions, paid 1,450 dollars upfront and started the weekly treatment. Unfortunately, it did nothing. Not even a 10% change as I could see in the “before and after” photos. 2 months later, no change. I called Acquablu to relay my disappointment, only to be told that if I still wanted to do the botox and fillers, they would give me a discount. In other words, on top of the 1,450.00 dollars that I had paid, it would cost me an additional 1,000.00 if not more. So if you are thinking of going with PRX derm, I would chose something else. It is not what it claims to be. Whether it did not work for me or it was not done properly, it is an expensive treatment for no results

I am having Laser Hair removal procedures done by Cassie. She is professional, smart, caring and extremely informative. Having laser hair removal procedure is worth the time and investment - if you have the right person. Cassie is without a doubt the right person!! It has been smooth sailing for the months I have been under her care. I’ve had only positive results. I highly recommend Cassie!!!

I have been treated by Cassie over the past year. I cannot give her a higher rating. She is professional, poised and very intelligent. When I first met with her, she suggested options for me after talking about what I was hoping to accomplish. She listened to my concerns as far as my health and medicines I take. I opted for the less aggressive laser treatment called Moxi due to a shorter downtime. She did explain that it would take several treatments to accomplish what I wanted. I just had my 3rd and final one.Cassie has followed up with me after each Moxi and this shows me her compassion and interest in her patients is very important to her. I recommend anyone looking for cosmetic injections or treatments contact Cassie at Acqua Blu. You will be in good hands.

I have been seeing Anna for several years, I like her, and her talents so much that I drive from Butler to Upper St Clair! It is worth the drive to have Anna take care of my skin!!!
