What Are PDO MINT Mono Threads?
The Hair Clinic is excited to offer PDO Mint Mono Threads (PDO Threads). This new treatment adapted from Cosmetic Medicine for facial collagen stimulation has Hair Growth applications whereby PDO Mint Mono Threads may stimulate new hair growth providing lasting hair restoration results. The process involves threading polydiaxonone threads (PDO) just under the surface of the skin on the scalp.

This nonsurgical procedure can usually be completed in less than an hour, and it can provide satisfying regrowth outcomes for patients contending with hair loss. PDO threads are the same material dissolving surgical sutures that have been used for many years, with a wide body of evidence supporting safety and efficacy.
PDO hair threading can be used as a stand-alone treatment but also in combination with other hair loss treatments such as Platelet Rich Plasma, Mesotherapy, Pharmaceuticals Finasteride and Minoxidol. At The Hair Clinic we offer PDO threading with all of our treatment options such as Platelet Rich Plasma to maximize your hair growth potential. |

How Do PDO MINT Threads Work to Stimulate Hair Growth?
PDO 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.
Many studies have demonstrated the efficacy of PDO threading for hair growth:
• One, which used mice as test subjects, showed lasting hair growth comparable to that seen with extended use of minoxidil.
• Another study, conducted using human subjects, showed substantial improvement in hair regrowth, hair thickness and rate of hair loss.
Even more promising are the results we are seeing when PDO threads are used in conjunction with other hair restoration treatments.

Who Can Benefit From PDO Thread Hair Growth Treatment?
|
PDO 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 Result Can I Expect?
The results most people see with PDO threading include:
• New hair regrowth
• Thicker hair texture
• A reduced rate of hair loss
You can expect to see noticeable regrowth in 12 weeks, with marked improvement over the course of several months. Combining PDO threads with PRP or a topical treatment may produce even more noticeable results.

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 Hair Thread Treatment Safe?
PDO threads themselves are considered 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.
As with other similar treatments there are a number of possible side effects associated with PDO threads.
These side effects include but are not limited to:
As with other similar treatments there are a number of possible side effects associated with PDO threads.
These side effects include but are not limited to:
- Bruising: patients should anticipate bruising with this treatment
- Redness for several hours following treatment.
- Localized swelling can occur after the treatment; however, this should settle in 24 – 48 hours after the treatment.
- Pain and discomfort: throughout the procedure and patients may experience some discomfort for several days afterwards as the threads settle, especially if this procedure is close to a nerve ending.
- Nerve pain/neuralgia: Any time you are inserting an instrument or device beneath the skin (including surgery) there is a risk that you may brush past a nerve causing temporary irritation/aggravation of a nerve.
- Infection: It is rare for the skin to become infected after a procedure due to its rich blood supply. However, any time you break the skin barrier there is a risk of infection.
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.
Does PDO Threading Hurt?
PDO threading shouldn’t hurt, as the doctor will use local anesthesia to numb the scalp before the procedure. The microfilaments and needles used for PDO are quite small, so any soreness afterward – if any – should be minimal. Once the threads are in place, you should not be able to feel the threads under your skin. The threads are very small in diameter – less than a human hair – and should be undetectable to the touch and sight once placed.
Frequently Asked Questions About PDO Threading
1. How will I know if PDO threading is working for me?
The great thing about PDO threading is that you will be able to see and feel noticeable results in your hair density and thickness. Most patients begin to see real improvement in about 3 months, with continuous and lasting regrowth. In addition, we will assess your progress to be sure the treatment is working. We can also discuss adding other interventions to further improve hair regrowth results.
2. Will people be able to tell I’ve had a hair restoration procedure? PDO threading is one of the most discreet hair restoration treatments you can have, and it produces no visible wounds or scarring. No one will know you’ve had anything done, since the hair regrowth process happens so gradually and naturally.
3. Does PDO threading work for women with hair loss?It does. One of the most promising studies of thread-embedding therapy with PDO used only women as test subjects.
The study showed that 73% of the women experienced substantial improvement, with 76% reporting that their hair felt coarser or heavier after treatment. The results were measurable, too: the study’s conclusion stated that treatment with monofilament PDO threads demonstrates “highly statistically significant improvement in HMI [hair mass index] or hair count in women with female pattern hair loss.”
4. How effective is PDO compared to other hair loss treatments? PDO can be very effective in restoring hair growth in patients who still have working hair follicles.
The results can be comparable to those seen with topical minoxidil, without the hassle and mess of daily application.
Studies are still ongoing to compare PDO to other non-surgical hair loss treatments like stem cell treatment or PRP, however, it is believed that PDO works in a similar manner to reactivate hair growth on the cellular level.
And combination treatments with PDO are showing even more promising results for many patients.
5. How can I know if PDO may be a good treatment option for me?
The best way to choose the right hair restoration therapy is to see us at The Hair Clinic to determine if PDO is right for you.

Objective: To perform a pilot study on the effect of monofilament threads scalp injections in women with female androgenetic alopecia.
Materials and methods: This double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled study compared the effect of monofilament threads with that of saline as placebo. The endpoints were hair count and hair mass index (HMI), along with patient-opinion survey responses.
Results: HMI or hair count has statistically significantly differed between the study and placebo groups. However, 73.3% of the treatment subjects (vs. 0% of the placebo subjects) experienced substantial improvement in hair loss, rate of hair loss, hair thickness, and ease of managing/styling hair, and 76.8% (vs. 18.4% of the placebo group) reported that their hair felt coarser or heavier after the treatment.
Conclusion: Monofilament threads demonstrate highly statistically significant improvement in HMI or hair count in women female pattern hair loss. The patient survey results suggest a therapeutic advantage of monofilament threads as perceived by patients and according to hair count or HMI.
Keywords: Monofilament threads; female androgenetic alopecia; therapy.
