What Are PDO Threads?
Thread lifts are an innovative treatment designed to lift and tighten sagging skin, offering immediate rejuvenation. PDO threads are made of polydioxanone (PDO), a safe, synthetic, biodegradable monofilament. These barbed threads are strategically inserted into the skin to achieve a noticeable lifting effect. As the PDO threads dissolve, they stimulate collagen production, enhancing the skin’s firmness and elasticity.
This procedure is efficient, with no downtime, and can be completed in approximately an hour. Patients typically observe full results within a month of treatment, with the effects lasting up to a year or longer.
Customizable PDO thread treatments are suitable for all skin types and tones and address unique needs, including:
- Smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, including nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Firms and lifts sagging cheeks, recontouring cheekbones
- Lifting and tightening the jowls, improving the jawline
- Restoring the undereye area and drooping eyelids for a more youthful look
- Tightening and lifting the neck, improving neckbands, double chins, and lines
- Reducing hooded eyebrows to improve brow asymmetry
- Redefining lip shape and smoothing lines, including perioral lines
Many patients achieve satisfactory results after one PDO thread lift treatment. However, some may need a secondary PDO thread lift once the threads have been absorbed. Our aesthetic experts might also suggest follow-up treatments to preserve the outcomes.
Types of Facelift Surgery
There are different techniques for a facelift. A common misconception is that a facelift just “pulls your skin back.” The key to restoring the youthful appearance is the underlying subcutaneous and muscle tissue. Resuspending the deeper tissue of the face is key to longevity and restoring a more youthful appearance.
The SMAS (submuscular aponeurotic system) is the key to facial aging, and restoring it helps to rebalance the aging face. By understanding and addressing the deeper anatomy, Dr. Sanniec can correct the descent and volume loss that occurs with aging. Lifting the deeper anatomy allows for a more natural appearance and longer-term results.

Am I a Good Candidate for PDO Threads in Mesa, AZ?
Most people considering PDO threads are individuals with mild to moderate facial sagging, skin laxity, or wrinkles who want a non-surgical solution. These candidates are generally in their late 30s to mid-50s and desire natural-looking rejuvenation without significant change. During your consultation, our experts will assess your features to determine if the treatment is suitable.
Mesa PDO thread candidates should:
- Be in good overall health and live a healthy lifestyle
- Be a non-smoker or willing to quit all nicotine at least 48 hours before and after treatment
- Not be pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have a positive outlook and realistic goals for the procedure
- Understand the risks and benefits
Preparing for Your Glendale PDO Thread Session
It’s important to be in good overall health before any facial rejuvenation treatment. Dr. Sanniec and his expert team will provide thorough instructions on preparing for your PDO thread treatment. While they will customize each PDO thread procedure for each patient, here is some general information.
- Stay well-hydrated before and after your procedure. Avoid alcohol and caffeine as they can contribute to dehydration, bleeding, or bruising.
- Smoking is detrimental to your overall health and can greatly impact your injectable results. As such, Dr. Sanniec recommends stopping smoking or using nicotine products at least 48 hours before and after injectables.
- Follow your pre-procedure medication protocol as determined during your consultation. This may include avoiding blood-thinning medications, anti-inflammatory drugs, or herbal supplements that may increase bleeding for 3 to 6 days.
- Use a gentle cleanser before your appointment, and don’t wear makeup. Avoid skincare products like exfoliants or retinol for two weeks before treatment.
What to Expect on the Day of Your PDO Thread Treatment
Come to your appointment with clean, moisturized skin free of makeup. You’ll meet with one of our experts to review the details of your PDO thread treatment and answer any final questions you might have.
During the procedure, a topical anesthetic will be applied to the targeted area. The practitioner will insert the threads beneath the skin using a fine needle or cannula. Some pressure or a tugging sensation may be felt, but it should not be painful or uncomfortable. The practitioner will then adjust the threads to achieve the intended lift.
Depending on the number of PDO threads, your procedure may take an hour.

What to Expect After Your PDO Thread Treatment
After undergoing your PDO thread lift procedure, you may return to most normal activities with minimal downtime. Mild redness, swelling, or bruising may occur at the treatment sites, but these side effects typically diminish within a few hours to several days. Our experts may advise using over-the-counter pain medication to relieve discomfort.
After your PDO thread lift treatment, our experts will provide thorough instructions, including:
- Staying hydrated
- Keeping your skin moisturized
- Avoiding exercise and other strenuous activities for a week
- Avoiding makeup for 24 hours
- Protecting your skin from sun exposure for at least 2 weeks
You may also be advised to limit facial movements, such as smiling, laughing, or talking, to minimize pressure on the PDO threads.
Patients typically notice enhancements immediately and full results within 1 to 2 months as the threads settle.
How Soon Will I See My Arizona PDO Thread Results?
Following your PDO thread treatment, you will see immediate results. However, you should expect minimal discomfort, slight swelling, bruising, and redness. Threads may take one to two months to settle. They are absorbed by your body in six to eight months, stimulating collagen production for results that can last up to a year or more. Results will vary based on your initial skin condition, sagging, thickness, and facial structure.
Although some patients may observe visible results after a single treatment, others might require a secondary thread treatment once the initial threads have been absorbed. To ensure optimal outcomes, it is imperative to adhere strictly to our experts’ post-procedural guidelines concerning sun exposure protection, use of medical-grade skincare products, and follow-up treatments.
