What Are PDO Threads?
At Sandhu Dermatology & Med Spa, a PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive treatment that elevates and tautens hanging skin. PDO threads are usually most fitting for individuals who are less likely to get a facelift operation, even though they still feel the need to curb indications of getting older, including lines, creases, and loose skin. Our team uses PDO collagen threads (also known as polydioxanone threads), which are medical-grade sutures guided into the skin to encourage collagen formation and elevate saggy skin and laugh lines. Sometimes referred to as a "lunchtime lift," a thread lift should not require significant rehabilitation time. Call for an initial visit in West Palmdale, Ridgecrest, or Tehachapi, CA to learn whether a thread lift is an excellent cosmetic decision for your objectives.
How Is PDO Thread Lifting Performed?
A thread lift is a nonsurgical procedure generally taking approximately an hour to complete. Before the thread lift procedure, a team member will check with you to propose which kind of threads to treat with, how many to inject, and placement to get the best results. Typically, a local numbing cream is employed to numb the procedure regions and allow you to stay comfortable. The threads will be placed into preferred locations of the skin using a tiny needle. The stitches are carefully pulled to produce an elevated appearance and a natural-looking result. No incisions or cuts are used during this procedure.
What Are the Benefits of A PDO Thread Lift?
Not all patients desire or require invasive surgical choices to gain a lifted, refreshed aesthetic. For our West Palmdale, Ridgecrest, and Tehachapi, CA patients who are intent on tightening lax skin without receiving an invasive surgery, a polydioxanone (PDO) thread lift would be a perfect treatment that could provide you a multitude of advantages, like:
- Pride in your newfound youthful outcomes
- Procedure that is minimally invasive yet still effective
- Collagen generation that provides glowing outcomes that are long-lasting
- Results that last longer than alternate noninvasive rejuvenation options, including injectables
Sandhu Dermatology & Med Spa Reviews
I am so happy that I went to Shandu Dermatology!Dr Harika Shandu is an excellent surgeon with outstanding attention to detail. Her stitchwork is so beautiful that it reminds me of fine embroidery on a silk cloth. She's that good!I had what looked like two pimples on my back, but they were just the tip of the iceberg. I heard a "snip snip" , it felt like a haircut, and when she was done, a non-cancerous cyst - the size of my thumb! - was removed from my back and placed in a medical jar. I was shocked! I had no idea!The second cyst was the size of a marble, and a third cyst, located on my left forearm, which I thought was a weird looking mole, but no, no, no - it was a cyst the size of a 1-inch ball bearing! My jaw dropped in disbelief.Because Dr Hakita Shandu did such an excellent job sewing me up, my wounds have closed completely now and there is no scarring. There is still some discoloration around the wounds, but I plan on buying the Post Care Silicone Gel when I go back next week for a follow-up appointment.I’m also seriously considering the monthly subscription for a hydro facial. It sounds wonderful and very relaxing.Dr Hakita Shandu is a very nice person with a gentle touch. I would strongly recommend Shandu Dermatology for any skin care needs. The entire staff is very nice, and they made me feel very much at ease. It’s like the tv show Cheers! - “where everyone knows your name”Thank you very much, Dr Hakita Shandu! You're the best!Morris Lee FeasterPalmdale, CA
Everyone is nice and welcoming and understanding. Michelle is so awesome, I been going to her for years. Honestly they are all amazing people
Doctors and Staff and Products are the Best in the Valley! Been a Patient well over 25yrs ! Highly recommend Dr Sandhu Dermatologist
The girls are terrified, very professional
I had my procedure today with Ashley and Dr. Sandhu, I felt NOTHING. Not even the syringe that Ashley used to numb me before the full removal of my mole. Ashley made sure I was comfortable and was able to talk me through the prep process. Dr. Sandhu was so quick with the procedure I couldn’t even think to feel anything. I am still going to get a biopsy and 6 week follow up. But I am highly satisfied with the progress. I did peak under my bandaid and I’m glad to no longer see an abnormal mole! Thank you Dr. Sandhu and team!_______________________________________________I had my first mole check-up with Dr. Sandhu and Amanda, and I was truly impressed by the entire experience. From start to finish, the appointment process was smooth and easy. Both Dr. Sandhu and Amanda were professional, kind, and extremely knowledgeable, which helped put me at ease right away.Unfortunately, the mole in question appeared abnormal, so I have a follow-up appointment scheduled for a shave and biopsy. While I’m definitely hoping and praying for a benign result, I feel confident knowing I’m in such capable hands.As a cash patient, I also really appreciated the clear and reasonable pricing—no surprises, just honest care. I’m very grateful for their support and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for attentive and thorough dermatologic care.

How do I prepare for PDO threads?
Before your PDO thread lift procedure, it’s important to follow a few preparation guidelines to ensure optimal results. Avoid blood-thinning medications in the days leading up to your treatment to minimize bruising. Refrain from consuming alcohol or smoking, as these can interfere with healing. During your consultation, our team will provide detailed pre-treatment instructions tailored to your specific needs.
Are PDO threads permanent?
PDO threads are not permanent, but they provide long-lasting results. The threads are designed to dissolve naturally over time, typically within 6–9 months. However, the collagen stimulation they promote can help maintain the lifted and rejuvenated appearance for up to a year or more. Touch-up treatments can be performed at Sandhu Dermatology & Med Spa to prolong the effects.
Are PDO threads safe?
Yes, PDO threads are considered safe when performed by trained and experienced professionals. They are made of polydioxanone, a material commonly used in medical sutures, and are designed to dissolve naturally in the body over time. Our team in West Palmdale, Ridgecrest, and Tehachapi, CA, prioritizes patient safety and ensures proper techniques are used to minimize risks.
