PDO THREADS
FOR HAIR RESTORATION
PDO Thread Hair Restoration is a minimally invasive treatment designed to support natural hair regrowth by stimulating blood flow and collagen production in the scalp. Using dissolvable polydioxanone (PDO) threads, this technique aims to strengthen hair follicles and potentially improve hair density over time. Ideal for individuals experiencing mild to moderate hair thinning, PDO threads provide a non-surgical option that promotes a healthy scalp environment for improved hair growth.

WHAT IT IS
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are dissolvable sutures traditionally used in aesthetic treatments for skin lifting and tightening. PDO threads are strategically inserted into the scalp to stimulate blood flow, collagen production, and the release of growth factors, promoting healthier hair follicles and potentially improving hair density and thickness over time.
HOW IT WORKS
The procedure involves inserting tiny PDO threads into the scalp at targeted areas where hair thinning or hair loss has occurred. Once inserted, the threads trigger a localized healing response that increases blood flow and collagen production around the hair follicles. As the threads naturally dissolve over several months, they leave behind a support structure of collagen, which helps to revitalize and strengthen hair follicles and potentially improve hair growth. PDO threads are typically combined with other treatments, like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), to enhance results.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Preparation: During the initial consultation, your provider will evaluate your hair loss pattern and discuss a personalized treatment plan. On the day of the procedure, a local anesthetic or nerve block may be applied to minimize discomfort.
Procedure: The provider uses fine needles to insert PDO threads into the scalp in areas experiencing thinning. The procedure generally takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the area treated.
Post-Treatment: There is minimal downtime, though mild tenderness or swelling may occur around the insertion points for a few days. Results typically develop gradually over a few months as the threads dissolve, and collagen builds up to support hair follicles. Maintenance treatments are often recommended to sustain the effects.
