What Are NovaThreads?

NovaThreads are an advanced aesthetic treatment featuring polydioxanone (PDO) threads, a synthetic absorbable surgical suture proven to be one of the safest materials for body implantation. These innovative threads stimulate natural collagen production and provide comprehensive skin rejuvenation.

Benefits of PDO Threads

PDO threads can effectively:

  • Improve overall skin quality
  • Redefine facial contours
  • Reduce facial roundness
  • Minimize wrinkles
  • Lift sagging skin in cheeks, jowls, and neck
  • Enhance lip volume
  • Stimulate natural collagen production

NovaThread Treatment Process

The NovaThread procedure involves gentle local anesthetic injection at thread entry points. Threads are carefully introduced using a delicate needle or fine microcannula. Patients can typically resume normal activities within a few days. Treatment duration ranges from 20-60 minutes, depending on the targeted area.

Treatment Optimization

Optimal results can be achieved by combining PDO threads with complementary treatments like dermal fillers or neuromodulators, enhancing overall facial rejuvenation.

NovaThread Treatment Results

NovaThreads help redefine facial contours and induce collagen production. Full collagen stimulation occurs approximately 3 months post-treatment. According to The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, threads are safely absorbed within 4-6 months, with collagen levels increasing by 100% by month 7. Results typically last between 8-14 months.

Every time we have been there it has been a long wait to be seen, one time for over an hour. Despite that, my mom did not to have her perform a Blepharoplasty. It is damn near impossible to get someone on the phone. I called when an issue arise a month after surgery. I had to call multiple times to get a call back. When they did call they asked me to email photos which I did. The assured me that they would respond before end of day. I still have not heard back and it has been over 24 hours. I have called twice today as well.

Dr. Tarbet is not only incredibly thorough in her examinations but she also listens to you as a patient and checks EVERY ASPECT that could be contributing to your condition; even if she is confident of what the likely causes are, she doesnt leave a stone unturned. Her time, eye contact (ie acknowledging you as a person before a patient), and compassion are very hard to find in conjunction with capability in healthcare today. 100% recommend!

I got a lip filler there and I requested that it only be put on the outline of my lip. Dr. Tarbet put the needle right into my lip and I ended up having a reaction of all these bumps on my lips. It was a nightmare. She didn’t really listen and always seemed like she was in a rush to get to the next patient. They didn’t fix it- all they did was have me sign something saying I won’t sue them

There is a reason Dr. Tarbet is always booked out, she's really that good in my experience. Thankfully, she has finally duplicated herself with nurse Natalia. Not that she hasn't had other wonderful staff (she has/does), but nurse Natalia does some treatments they weren't trained in. She has the same exact eye for aesthetics that Dr. Tarbet does and both are extremely detail oriented. Dr. Tarbet, nurse Natalia, and this clinic in general get my highest recommendation. If you see Dr. Tarbet, good chance there'll be a wait as her schedule is absolutely jam-packed (she may be a workaholic). But once she gets into the room you have her full and undivided attention, and I have never once felt rushed. If anything, she has a way of making you feel like nothing else matters (which may contribute to the wait, but you can't put a price on that level of personal attention and care). Not just stunning but she doesn't look even close to her age (they both look great!), which really inspires confidence when doing similar treatments. So just bring a book and know you are in excellent hands. With or without the wait, she is worth it. Nurse Natalia is also extremely knowledgeable (she was a doctor in Russia) and her schedule seems way more flexible. So she can be an especially good option if you want to get in sooner and/or will be in a time crunch. Shout out to Chris and Steve who are also top notch, and rest of the staff is very friendly. Overall, two thumbs up!
