What are PDO Threads and what are the Benefits? 

PDO Threads  (Polydioxanone) offer our patients a minimally-invasive treatment that visibly improves skin sagging in many areas all over the body! PDO Thread Lifting delivers instant results with little downtime! 

No Cuts or Incisions Dr. Kulback uses PDO threads to lift and shape facial soft tissues and make no mistake; thread lifting takes skill. PDO treatments use needles to deliver threads under the skin. These threads dissolve over time, yielding long-lasting anti-aging results! PDO threads are also skillfully used on the neck and body. Dr. Pamela Kulback at K2 Restorative Medicine is considered a Master when it comes to thread-lifting procedures and has attended dozens of training sessions lead by renown experts across USA. 

How Much Downtime Can I Expect After A PDO Thread Lifting Treatment?

Patients may anticipate little to no downtime, depending on the type of threads you use and which areas of the body we treat. Certain areas, such as the face, may leave some bruising, easily covered by makeup within less than a week after the procedure. Swelling post treatment and discomfort is to be expected for up to a week depending on the area treated. Some patients never swell and others experience more swelling, either way there is no downtime to speak of in comparison to a surgical procedure. 

Does PDO thread lifting work?

Absolutely! PDO Thread Lifting has not only been studied and proven to work by multiple institutes, including the National Institutes of Health; we’ve also seen the effects of PDO Thread Lifting with our patients! Studies indicate thread lifting offers a 90 percent success rate. 

Can PDO Threads be effectively combined with other treatments?

Absolutely, PDO Threads are often most effective when used in conjunction with other treatments. For optimal skin texture improvement, they can be paired with laser treatments. Adding fillers can help restore volume, and treatments like Sculptra and Virtue RF Microneedling can further enhance the results. Dr. Kulback typically begins her patients’ treatment plans with lasers and Virtue RF to refine skin texture and tone. Subsequently, she employs PDO threads along with injectables to achieve volumization, lifting, and tightening. Maintaining these results also heavily relies on a well-prescribed home skincare regimen using physician’s developed skin care such as K2’s. 

How long do PDO Threads last?

Thread lifting not only delivers immediate visible results; lifting continues to improve over time. PDO Threads leave the skin firmer and tighter! Results last for 18 months or longer! Say hello to a more youthful appearance! 

Are PDO Threads  worth it?

We highly recommend this non-surgical, minimally invasive face lifting and skin lifting treatment. Don’t just listen to us; view our patient’s results! Immediate Tightening and Lifting Results! When collagen production kicks in (about two weeks later), patients can expect even more improvement in the tone, texture, & quality of their skin.

PDO Thread Lifting or Filler? BOTH 

As discussed earlier, Dr. Kulback may determine a different course of action during a consultation. The truth is that both Thread Lifting and Fillers offer excellent results and when combined the results are not only longer lasting, but the lifting threads compliment filler results. Patients who undergo filler can expect immediate results. Dermal fillers are also less invasive, so there’s no downtime; however, the results are not long-lasting. Thread lifting offers lasting results that truly lift and improve the skin’s health. Discuss your options with Dr. Kulback at her Trussville (Birmingham AL) location. 

How painful is a PDO thread lift?

Dr. Kulback utilizes a needle specially designed to minimize the patient’s discomfort while delivering threads into the skin. After your treatment, expect some minor soreness and swelling for a few days. Patient discomfort following the treatment is easily remedied with an over-the-counter pain reliever. 

How long do Thread Lift Results last?

Our patients rave about this treatment and its long-lasting results. Though studies indicate results that last over a year, our returning patients have shown results that last 1 to 2 years on average depending on age and skin condition. Eventually, the skin absorbs PDO threads in tissue, and we encourage patients to discuss their options with Dr. Pamela Kulback at that time.
