Stimulate New Hair Growth With PDO Threads

Hair Restoration With PDO Threads

Are you looking for a longer-lasting, low-maintenance option to restore thinning hair?

Polydioxanone (PDO) monofilament threading is an innovative, drug-free approach to hair restoration. Using dissolvable sutures carefully placed into thinning areas of the scalp, PDO threads trigger natural growth factors and inflammation-related healing processes that may encourage new hair growth.

PDO therapy is thought to reduce perifollicular fibrosis (scarring around follicles) and improve blood vessel formation, creating a healthier environment for hair follicles. Unlike weekly microneedling sessions, PDO hair treatments may only be needed once every 3–6 months.

What is it?
PDO hair restoration is a non-surgical procedure that uses absorbable sutures to stimulate growth factors in the scalp. Over time, the sutures dissolve while continuing to encourage hair follicle activity and new hair growth.
What does it treat?
PDO threads are most often used for:
  • Hair restoration
  • Scalp rejuvenation
What can you expect?
A local numbing agent is used before treatment for comfort.

Around 20–40 fine threads are placed into thinning scalp areas.

Mild swelling, tenderness, or redness may occur and typically resolves in a few days.
