PDO THREADS
​
PDO threads are commonly used in aesthetic medicine and have now emerged as a popular solution for hair restoration, also known as thread embedding therapy (TET). These threads, made of biodegradable polydioxanone polymer (PDO), offer a non-surgical approach to addressing hair loss and promoting hair regrowth. Hair loss is a prevalent issue affecting an increasing number of people, and while it may not pose a threat to one’s physical health, its psychological impact should not be underestimated. Dealing with hair loss can cause significant distress, leading many people to seek effective solutions for hair restoration. In recent years, PDO threads have emerged as a popular option in the field of aesthetic medicine, offering a minimally-invasive approach to address hair loss and help individuals regain their confidence.
​
The Science Behind PDO Threads for Hair Restoration
The science behind how PDO threads work in hair restoration involves several mechanisms:
​
-
When PDO threads are inserted into the scalp, they create a mesh-like structure that provides mechanical support to the existing hair follicles. This support helps to stabilize and strengthen the hair follicles, preventing further hair loss.
-
PDO threads stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that provides structure and support to the skin and hair follicles. [3] The threads induce a controlled injury response in the treated area, triggering the body’s natural healing process. As a result, increased production of collagen occurs, which helps to improve the overall health and quality of the hair follicles.
-
PDO threads also promote neovascularization, which is the formation of new blood vessels. [4] Improved blood circulation to the scalp enhances the delivery of oxygen, nutrients, and growth factors to the hair follicles. This increased blood flow can revitalize dormant follicles, stimulate hair growth, and improve the thickness and density of existing hair.
-
PDO threads can activate and stimulate the cells within the hair follicles. They encourage cell division and proliferation, promoting the growth of new hair strands. This activation of dormant follicles and the stimulation of cellular activity contribute to the overall restoration of hair.
-
Over time, PDO threads promote tissue remodeling within the skin, including the scalp. [5] The threads gradually dissolve, but their presence stimulates the body’s healing response and collagen remodeling. This remodeling process helps to create a supportive environment for

​
What are the Benefits of PDO Threads for Hair Restoration?
​
The benefits of PDO threads are numerous. Patients can customize their treatment based on individual goals. The threads can be inserted at precise locations and angles, tailored to address specific areas of hair loss or thinning. This customization ensures that the treatment targets the areas of concern effectively.
​
Compared to surgical hair restoration procedures, PDO thread treatments typically involve minimal downtime. While some mild swelling or bruising may occur, it is generally temporary and subsides quickly. Patients can often resume their normal activities shortly after the procedure.
One of the unique advantages of PDO threads over other hair restoration methods is the ability to stimulate collagen production. While the threads gradually dissolve over time, their effects can continue for several months to a year or more. The stimulation of collagen production and tissue remodeling contribute to sustained improvements in hair density, thickness, and overall hair quality.
Preparation for PDO Threads
​
To prepare for your treatment, it is advised to refrain from consuming alcohol and smoking. Additionally, avoid certain medications and supplements in the 24 hours prior to treatment. These include Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Advil, some supplements, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). This precaution minimizes bruising and bleeding in the treatment area.
​
The PDO Threads for Hair Restoration Procedure
​
Local anesthesia is administered to ensure the patient’s comfort during the procedure. This numbs the treatment area and reduces any potential discomfort. Then, a thin, dissolvable PDO threads are carefully inserted into the scalp using a fine needle or cannula.
Recovery After PDO Threads
​
Immediately after the procedure, some mild swelling, redness, or tenderness in the treated areas may be experienced. These effects are generally temporary and should subside within a few days.
Avoid applying excessive pressure or manipulation to the treated areas, especially when washing the hair, during the initial recovery phase. This helps to ensure that the threads remain in their intended positions and allows for optimal healing.
Furthermore, strenuous activities, intense workouts, and heavy lifting should be avoided for a certain period. It is essential to allow the scalp to heal without unnecessary strain or pressure.
Formula 82S
A Proprietary Formulation of Natural and Eco-Certified Ingredients for Better Hair Health
Formula 82S is a 3-in-1 (shampoo + conditioner + anti-hair loss) product that strengthens hair fibers, restores soft, natural texture to damaged hair, and helps prevent hair loss. It’s a great choice for people who are undergoing hair restoration, as it contains an industry-leading level (2%) of Saw Palmetto, a botanically derived 5-alpha reductase inhibitor shown in studies to reduce DHT, a leading cause of hair loss. Unlike lower-quality shampoos that contain sulfates, parabens, and silicone, which can damage new hair growth, Formula 82S uses gentle, natural cleansers and conditioning agents.
In addition to Saw Palmetto, Formula 82S contains a blend of natural extracts, amino acids, and vitamins that help new hair grow stronger, and existing hair recover its vitality. The formula was recently updated to include even more Saw Palmetto, and improved surfactants and conditioning agents, resulting in better sudsing and conditioning. With Formula 82S, most users report that they do not need a separate conditioner for their hair to be left feeling soft, healthy, and easy to comb.
It is an excellent choice for people who want to support healthy hair growth, and an excellent complement to a daily regrowth regimen, such as one involving Formula 82M (for men and women), or Formulas 82F & 82D (for men only).
​​​​​
Formula 82M
A Uniquely Engineered Formulation for Hair Loss
​
Formula 82M contains (5%) Minoxidil and the retinoic acid, Tretinoin, along with a topical steroid to improve efficacy and reduce irritation, and is complemented by other proprietary ingredients that improve its overall effectiveness, stability and usability.
​
Minoxidil is an active metabolite and vasodilator, that widens blood vessels and improves blood flow to hair follicles, that has been shown in studies to stimulate hair growth. It has been the #1 topical therapy for Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA) in the US since receiving FDA approval for treating hair loss in 1988. Minoxidil does not act on androgen hormones, which means that it is generally safe for both men and women to use. This makes it an excellent option for people who are concerned about the potential hormonal side effects of other hair loss treatments.
​
Why Is Formula 82M Better than just Minoxidil?
​
First, for the obvious fact that it can treat both genders, but in addition, there’s a lower risk of side effects. Minoxidil use can result in burning or irritation of the eyes, itching, redness, and irritation of the treated area as well as unwanted hair growth on other areas of the body. In rare cases it may make hair loss worse, and a very few people have severe allergic reactions that may include rash, hives, itching, difficulty breathing, tightness in the chest, swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue, chest pain, dizziness, fainting, tachycardia, headache, sudden and unexplained weight gain, or swelling of the hands and feet. Whew! That’s quite a list.
​
Formula 82M contains the same concentration of minoxidil as Rogaine, but also the topical steroid flucinolone, oleanic acid, a natural 5-alpha reductase blocking agent, and a number of other proprietary ingredients. The 5-alpha reductase blocker prevents the action that converts testosterone to the DHT that causes the follicles to go dormant in the first place. The topical steroid prevents many of the side effects on the skin itself, and the other ingredients reduce the risk of the remaining side effects.
​
In addition, Formula 82M is non-greasy. Many users of minoxidil complain that the greasiness interferes with styling their hair. You’re the only one who will know you’re using 82M!. Applied twice daily to the scalp, Formula 82M may help you regain lost hair and restore thickness and fullness to thinning hair. If regular Minoxidil caused side effects for you that made treatment uncomfortable or impossible, 82M may work for you. Due to the additives in 82M, you may also find that it works better than regular Minoxidil.
