Name Ingredients:
Polydioxanone (PDO) monofilament threading is an innovative, drug-free approach to addressing hair loss. The procedure entails implanting dissolvable sutures into the areas experiencing baldness on the scalp. As the months progress, these sutures dissolve naturally, triggering the release of growth factors that have the potential to encourage the growth of new hair.
Key insights:
- PDO threading involves inserting 20 -40 threads into the scalp, where they slowly metabolize over 6-8 months, stimulating a mild inflammatory process.
- The therapy aims to express growth factors, stimulating the formation of new cells and promoting new hair growth.
- There are no in vitro (in cells) or in vivo (in animals) studies for this treatment.
- The clinical data shows some positive outcomes.
- One trial reported increased hair count and overall satisfaction after 12 weeks.
- Compared to other threading materials like polyglycolic acid and poly-l-lactic acid, PDO demonstrates efficacy in promoting hair growth.
- Combining PDO threading with platelet-rich-fibrin (PRF) injections showed promising results in terms of hair regrowth.
- Our experience tracking members: by itself, PDO alone is not enough to improve hair loss outcomes
