Thread treatments work by stimulating blood flow and collagen, fibroblast and elastin production in the scalp.
They also promote cell anagen induction and cell proliferation at the hair bulb and, importantly, stimulate new blood vessel formation and connective tissue generation.
Who Can Benefit From Thread Hair Growth Treatment
Threads treatment can benefit both men and women with hair loss, and it can be especially beneficial for those with androgenetic alopecia.
Scalp threading has also been shown to stimulate hair growth in patients who failed to respond to finasteride and minoxidil treatments.
Many clients who either can’t or don’t want to have a surgical hair procedure are choosing non-surgical interventions like PDO threading.
PDO threading is usually best for those in the early to moderate stages of hair loss who want to help slow hair loss and stimulate new and thicker growth.
Of course, thread embedding therapy can also be effective for those experiencing more advanced hair loss, as long as they still have enough viable hair follicles that can be stimulated.
What Hair Growth Results Can I Expect?
The results most people see with PDO threading include:
- New hair regrowth
- Thicker hair texture
- A reduced rate of hair loss
How Long Do PDO Threading Results Last?
The results from PDO threading have been shown to be very long-lasting, but every patient is different.
We usually like to see patients for growth rechecks regularly after treatment to monitor progress and stay proactive.
Is PDO Thread Hair Treatment Safe?
PDO threading is considered very safe, and the polydiaxonone threads we use are surgical grade and approved by the FDA.
The threads used are the same as the absorbable surgical filaments used widely throughout the medical profession for decades, and they dissolve naturally on their own within 6-8 months.
Will I Need to Take Time Off Work?
One of the best things about this hair loss treatment is that it requires no downtime, no recovery period and no aftercare.
The procedure can usually be completed in the time it takes to eat lunch, and you can be off to finish your day with no activity restrictions and no noticeable wounds or bandages.
