NovaThreads Lift at Tucson Cosmetics
Non-surgical facial lifting with no incisions, no downtime – just natural-looking rejuvenation.
Looking for a way to lift and tighten sagging skin without surgery? The NovaThreads Lift is an advanced non-surgical thread lift that stimulates collagen production while subtly repositioning your skin for a more youthful, sculpted appearance. Dr. Sofia Rubbani, a leading expert in non-surgical aesthetics, performs this procedure right here in Tucson with exceptional precision and artistry.
What Is a NovaThreads Lift?
NovaThreads are dissolvable sutures made of PDO (polydioxanone), a material long used in heart surgery. These threads are carefully inserted just beneath the skin using ultra-fine needles to create an immediate lifting effect while also triggering your body’s natural collagen production for long-term results.
NovaThreads can be used in two ways:
-
NuLift Technique: To lift and reposition sagging skin on the jawline, cheeks, and neck.
-
NuMesh Technique: To create a supportive collagen “mesh” that improves skin texture and firmness over time.
