PDO Threads for Hair Restoration

What Are PDO Threads?
PDO threads are absorbable sutures placed beneath the skin. They are commonly used in aesthetic medicine because they gradually dissolve while creating a controlled healing response. When used in the scalp, PDO threads are intended to stimulate the treatment area and support the scalp environment. PDO threads are typically considered an adjunctive treatment, meaning they are often used alongside other therapies rather than as a standalone solution.

How PDO Threads May Support Hair Restoration
PDO threads work by creating controlled stimulation beneath the skin. As the threads dissolve, they may encourage localized healing activity, collagen support, and scalp stimulation.
In hair restoration, PDO threads may be used to support the scalp environment and complement other treatments such as stem cell hair restoration, exosomes, PRP, or laser therapy.
Who May Be a Candidate?
PDO threads may be considered for:
- Patients with early or moderate thinning
- Women with thinning hair
- Patients seeking a complementary non-surgical treatment
- Patients receiving PRP, exosomes, or stem cell hair restoration
- Patients who may benefit from additional scalp stimulation
- Patients whose provider recommends PDO threads as part of a combination plan
A consultation is required to determine whether PDO threads are appropriate.
