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.
Avoid sun exposure and tanning.
Stop alcohol and blood-thinning medications (if approved by your doctor).
Arrive with clean hair, no oils, serums, or styling products.
Use a gentle shampoo and prescribed topical care.
Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive heat (sauna, sun, hot showers) for 24–48 hours. Avoid scalp massage or microneedling until cleared by your provider.
Some patients notice improvements within a few months, though results can continue developing for 6–8 months as the threads dissolve.
PDO results vary, but many patients maintain improvements for 12+ months with follow-up sessions every 6–8 months.
