If you're experiencing excessive shedding, thinning, or bald spots, consult the specialists at Praktrithi Hair and Skin Clinic. We offer surgical and nonsurgical treatments to restore your hair and confidence, starting with a complimentary consultation. Our services include PDO Scalp Threading, a combination therapy focused on polydioxanone (PDO) scalp threading.

What Is PDO Scalp Threading?

In PDO Scalp Threading, clinicians insert PDO threads into specific dermal pockets near the hair follicles' dermal papilla. These threads boost hair regrowth by enhancing blood flow and tissue oxygenation in the scalp's various tissue planes and distressed hair follicles. By stimulating damaged tissue with growth factors, oxygen, fibroblasts, and nutrients, PDO threads promote tissue repair and hair regrowth.

PDO threads typically stay on the scalp for around six months and, like microneedling, activate hair-related genes in the hair bulge area, releasing growth factors such as PDGF. Unlike microneedling's acute micro-trauma, PDO threads create a temporary chronic micro-trauma, consistently triggering your body's response over time for greater rewards. This procedure also combines microneedling and soft tissue injections for maximum benefit.

How Do PDO Threads Stimulate Hair Growth?

PDO threads stimulate hair growth by inducing a controlled injury response in the scalp. When inserted just beneath the skin's surface, these threads cause mild trauma, triggering the body's natural healing processes. This includes the production of new collagen and elastin, which can enhance blood circulation and stimulate hair follicles. Moreover, PDO threads can stimulate the release of growth factors, supporting hair growth. In summary, PDO threading can rejuvenate the scalp, enhance the health of existing hair follicles, and encourage new hair growth.

Who Can Benefit From PDO Thread Hair Growth Treatment?

PDO treatment benefits both men and women with hair loss, especially those with androgenetic alopecia. It stimulates hair growth even in patients unresponsive to finasteride and minoxidil. PDO threading is popular among those preferring non-surgical options or unsuitable for surgery. Effective for early to moderate hair loss, it slows down loss and promotes thicker growth. It can also benefit those with advanced hair loss if viable follicles remain. Consulting a specialist helps determine the best treatment.

What Results Can I Expect From Hair Growth With PDO Threading?

The typical results observed with PDO threading include:

• Regrowth of new hair
• Increased thickness of hair strands
• Decreased hair loss rate

Expect noticeable regrowth within 12 weeks, with significant improvement over the following months.

Side Effects Of PDO Scalp Threading

Although PDO scalp threading is minimally invasive and non-surgical, some patients may experience side effects, such as:

• Redness
• Swelling
• Bruising
• Pain or discomfort
• Hematoma
• Infection
• Protrusion or extrusion

Is PDO Thread Hair Treatment Considered Safe?

PDO threading is considered highly safe, with the polydioxanone threads being surgical grade and FDA-approved. 

These threads are identical to the absorbable surgical filaments used extensively in the medical field for many years, and they naturally dissolve on their own within 6-8 months.
