NOVA THREADS
Conveniently located to serve Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Los Angeles, NYC, and Miami.
WHAT IS NOVATHREADS?
A more youthful appearance starts with the face, but not everyone is a candidate or has the downtime or desire for a surgical facelift or neck lift. A NovaThreads thread lift can be an excellent alternative to cosmetic surgery for patients who want to tighten the cheeks, lower face, jowls, and neck area.
In the hands of an expert like Dr. Emer, NovaThreads can be strategically placed to create subdermal “scaffolding” that provides support for facial tissue. Dr. Emer can also perform this procedure to gently lift tissue and reposition the skin to restore aesthetic contours.

PROCEDURE DETAILS
HOW DOES NOVATHREADS WORK?
Dr. Emer begins each NovaThreads procedure by identifying, marking, and applying topical anesthetic to the desired treatment areas. He then selects the right threads for your procedure.
NovaThreads can be smooth, twisted, or barbed. Each type is used to achieve different results.
Some NovaThreads come preloaded on fine needles. Others are manually threaded through the interstitial tissue, parallel to the surface of the skin, using a cannula. Dr. Emer will carefully select the best method to precisely target your cosmetic concerns.
Smooth threads that are preloaded on baby-fine needles work to improve the texture of the skin and fine crepey skin such as around the mouth, under eyes, on the lips or neck, and on the elbows and knees. These do not lift the tissue, instead they create a structure that supports the skin and promotes gradual tightening over time through long-term collagen production.
NovaThreads are threaded horizontally through the dermis, allowing Dr. Emer to gently manipulate the skin to create a smoother, tauter appearance.
Over the course of a few months, the sutures dissolve and stimulate collagen production, which lifts and repairs the skin, creates additional volume, and reduces the appearance of scars, fine lines, wrinkles, folds, and indentations.

NOVATHREADS NECK LIFT AND FACE LIFT
NovaThreads can provide natural-looking facial rejuvenation for clients who do not want or need a full surgical facelift or neck lift. In this procedure, Dr. Emer uses barbed NovaThreads to gently lift the facial skin to a new elevation point, restoring a more taut and youthful appearance.
It’s here that Dr. Emer’s skill and artistry are critical to obtaining great results. He knows precisely how to place and pull the threads in such a way that they don’t pinch or overlap, and he uses just the right number of threads to achieve a natural look. After applying the main threads, he then uses smaller needles loaded with smooth baby threads to plump and build collagen in key places.
This same-day, in-office procedure offers immediate results that improve even more in 6 to 12 weeks as the threads dissolve and collagen rebuilds.
PROCEDURE DETAILS
NOVATHREADS TO TREAT ACNE SCARS
NovaThreads are an excellent option for treating a wide range of acne scarring. After performing a laser treatment to address redness, Dr. Emer uses smooth NovaThreads made from a very fine, thread-like material and applies them using thin needles. This application technique creates a kind of crosshatched “scaffold” just underneath the skin of the face or body.
This is sometimes referred to as a “spider web” facial. The needles are removed as soon as they are all inserted. They leave behind a mesh of PDO threads that support the skin and stimulate new collagen production as they dissolve. The application process is quick and painless, and the results take effect quickly.
For acne in particular, Dr. Emer recommends a combined treatment program for optimal results. Your customized acne scarring treatment may include CO2 laser resurfacing, microneedling with PRP, RF microneedling, Halo laser, and Bellafill for scarring.
PROCEDURE DETAILS
NOVATHREADS FOR LIP ENHANCEMENT
Dr. Emer often includes NovaThreads in lip augmentation treatments to complement lip fillers. For this procedure, Dr. Emer inserts tiny, corkscrew-shaped NovaThreads directly into the lips. These twisted threads lift and evert the lips, giving them enhanced definition that can last up to 6 to 9 months. The results are subtle and natural-looking.
