What is a non-surgical facelift?
NovaThreads is a non-surgical facelift, where hypodermic needles preloaded with a PDO absorbable suture.
Some of the benefits of PDO thread lifts are:
- Natural results
- No surgery, No pain
- Lunchtime procedure
- Uncontested for Neck & Jawline (but not limited to)
What exactly is a PDO thread lift?
It’s a synthetic absorbable surgical suture composed of polydioxanone. PDO threads are used to perform cardiothoracic surgery (such as open-heart surgery). It’s one of the safest materials to be implanted in the body. Your skin fully absorbs it within 4 to 6 months & won’t leave you with any scar tissue.
How do PDO thread lifts work?
In medical terms “Selective Inflammatory Response”, which is the principle behind a lot of aesthetic procedures (such as Fractional Laser, Chemical Peels & MicroNeedling). Our skin is very good at repairing itself, and by inserting NOVATHREADS we make it heal itself by creating new collagen, naturally! PDO is fully absorbable, but that doesn’t mean your skin won’t react to it. During the 4 to 6 months needed to fully absorb the PDO threads, your skin is also repairing itself around it. In essence, it is “controlled healing” happening underneath the skin!
NuMuesh Vs. NuLift
The first one, called the NuMesh, consists of creating a mesh under the skin (i.e. 2 sutures inserted vertically & 3 sutures horizontally). Sort of like a #hashtag, or a net. This Mesh will serve as the foundation for our new collagen production. The NuMesh tightens the skin naturally from within. Results appear naturally, without any drastic change!
The other technique, called the NuLift is utilized to produce a more dramatic and immediate result. The PDO sutures have “barbs” or “cogs”, which provide a grip underneath the skin. Sutures are inserted the same way, except they can be pulled in 1 or 2 directions, creating an instant skin repositioning. Just like the NuMesh, the skin will then build new collagen which will secure the lift!
No cuts or incisions, purely injections!
The NovaThreads are needles that are pre-loaded with a PDO thread. Simply insert the whole needle in the interstitial tissue at the subdermal level, parallel to the surface of the skin, and pull the needle out. The PDO thread remains under the skin.
Restoring the V-Shape
A beautiful and healthy face has a “V-shape”. With the aging of tissues and the action of gravity, this “V-shape” diminishes or inverts. The idea behind the Nu-Mesh and the Nu-Lift technique is to either create a scaffolding in order to support the tissues and keep them in the “V-shape” or where necessary to delicately lift the tissues and reposition the skin to recreate the “V-shape” where it’s been lost.
Non-surgical Neck Lift
Although PDO threads can be inserted almost anywhere, one area where they are especially effective is the neck and jawline. The lower third of the face is challenging to treat effectively with botulinum toxin or injectable fillers, which are most effective in the upper and middle third of the face, respectively.

I absolutely loved my experience at North Coast Laser. Everyone was so nice. Everything was explained so well and the programs they have are amazing. I didn’t feel rushed and felt totally comfortable asking all the questions I had. I cannot wait to go back and have already referred my mom to them. I highly recommend!
It was a great experience. Reasonable price, friendly staff. I was in and out in less than a half hour. Everything was explained to me in great detail. Carli and Lauren are wonderful!
The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable! I had a Jet Peel done by Melissa. She was thorough and explained everything step by step. I am pregnant and she made sure to double check every ingredient to make sure it was safe for me. I am looking forward to having another treatment done very soon!
The staff is very knowledgeable on all skin types. I went in for a consult for pigment issues. Melissa put me on a skin care routine with the ZO skin care line and recommend Lase md treatments with an occasional microneedling. My skin has never looked better at the age of 40. My pigment issue has resolved and my skin now has a bright glowing appearance. They keep up to date on the latest laser technology, and the staff is always available to answer any skin care questions I have.
I was so happy with everyone in there. They treat you like family. Barb did my botox and she was amazing!!!!! 100 percent going back from now on
Staff is very friendly and welcoming. I get micro-needling done here by Melissa and I always feel super comfortable.
I had botox injection (forhead, around eyes & jaw area) last month and I'm extremely happy with the result! I will try to upload one of my before and after injection pictures !
I had the best experience at Northcoast Laser! Everyone was extremely nice and when I got filler for the first time all my questions were answered and she spent time explaining everything for me; making me feel very comfortable. I absolutely loved the results and I will definitely be recommending Northcoast Laser to others!
I have had an amazing experience with Northcoast Laser, from start to finish.... from making my first appointment, to having treatment done. The office is clean and comfortable. Barb is very knowledgeable, and kind, and I never feel rushed while I’m there.
I like that the Drs here are very concerned in your outcome and throughly research your autoimmune reactions. I have lupus and Other autoimmune Problems. I’d love to get many Anti aging things but my body will not accept it they have informed me. Sad but I appreciate all the truthfulness care and provide great skin products. The little bit I can have done, I feel like they are my friends and Drs both extremely caring. Highly recommended! Clean, concerned for your safety and concerned for you to be comfortable.

Highly recommend this place. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Very happy with my results from laser treatment.
The service is quality and prices are reasonable. The staff is unpretentious and caring. They are efficient and don't try to push services or products on you that you don't want or need. They are the best in NE Ohio. I drive an hour to see Lacy who is wonderful. Can't say anything negative about them.
I went to Northcoast Laser Cosmetics for the first time last week. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. I had the Jet Peel done by Lacy. She is amazing. This is the first time I have had the Jet Peel and what a difference in my skin immediately. I highly recommend Lacy.
