Nonsurgical Facial Rejuvenation
A consultation-led treatment option for patients exploring nonsurgical facial support and subtle lifting at AALC in Bethesda, Annapolis, or Arlington.
NOVAThread Injections
NOVAThreads are absorbable polydioxanone (PDO) sutures placed beneath the skin using preloaded needles. Depending on the thread type, placement, treatment area, and individual anatomy, they may be used to support tissue or create a subtle lifting effect.
A private consultation at AALC is the first step in determining whether this approach fits your goals. Your clinician can explain the proposed plan, expected changes, aftercare, and alternatives before you decide whether to proceed.
Personalized Guidance
NOVAThreads are not a one-size-fits-all treatment. Your AALC clinician will evaluate your goals and the areas you would like to address before recommending a plan. The consultation is also the right time to discuss your health history, prior procedures, medications, expected changes, and whether another treatment may be more appropriate.
Treatment plans vary by patient and technique. Before treatment, your clinician will explain the recommended approach, expected short-term changes, aftercare, follow-up, and when to contact the practice.
Nonsurgical does not mean risk-free. Recovery and aftercare vary, and potential side effects and complications should be reviewed with your treating clinician as part of informed consent.
