A resident of Newbury Park, California, Dr. Masoud Azizad is board certified in internal medicine and is the owner of n2uaesthetics, a Northridge-based company that offers medical and cosmetic treatments. Under the direction of Dr. Masoud Azizad, n2uaesthetics offers a diverse range of treatments including the PDO Thread Lift. Used as an alternative to traditional face-lifting procedures for the face and neck, the PDO(polydioxanone) Thread Lift is minimally invasive and ideal for tightening loose and sagging skin. The Thread Lift procedure involves inserting the threads into the skin’s subdermal layer, which immediately firms the skin and stimulates the growth of collagen, which further accelerates skin tightening. Two types of threads are available for use in the PDO Thread Lift, including “barbs” for raising the skin and “smooths” and “twists” for decreasing wrinkles, reshaping the nasal area, and enhancing the lips. The procedure causes minimal discomfort and is ideal for use as an anti-aging treatment, to improve facial contours, and to reduce scars. A key benefit of the PDO Thread Lift is that it is performed without the need for general anesthesia and is less costly than a conventional facelift.
