As we age, it’s common to lose volume and definition in the lips. Fine lines around the mouth, thinning lips, and less-defined lip borders can leave you looking older and feeling less confident. At Creative Facial Aesthetics in NYC, we offer an advanced, minimally invasive solution to restore youthful, natural-looking lips without the risk of looking overdone — Nova Threads.
If you’ve been hesitant about fillers because you’re worried about the “duck lips” effect or want a longer-lasting, more subtle enhancement, Nova Threads may be the perfect option for you.
What Are Nova Threads?
Nova Threads are dissolvable PDO (polydioxanone) sutures that are carefully placed just beneath the skin to lift, define, and stimulate collagen production. When used in the lips, these special “twist” threads are strategically inserted along the vermillion border — the natural outline of the lips — to create more definition and structure without adding unnecessary volume.
The result is a subtle, youthful enhancement that looks like your lips but better. Think of it as a long-lasting, natural lip liner effect. Many patients in New York City are choosing Nova Threads because the results are:
- Natural-looking: Enhances lip shape and definition without the risk of an overfilled appearance.
- Minimally invasive: No incisions, no surgery, and minimal downtime.
- Long-lasting: Results can last up to 10 months as the threads stimulate natural collagen production.
- Quick procedure: The treatment takes about 30 minutes and can easily fit into a lunch break.
- Safe and effective: PDO threads are FDA-approved and dissolve naturally over time.
In addition to defining the lips, Nova Threads can help smooth out fine lines around the mouth, restoring a softer, more youthful appearance.

How does the Nova Threads lip treatment work?

No. At Creative Facial Aesthetics, our goal is to provide natural-looking results. Nova Threads are ideal for patients who want to enhance lip definition without excessive volume or an artificial look.

Is there any downtime?
Most patients experience minimal swelling or bruising that subsides within a few days. You can resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
