Facts about PDO Threads for Hair Regrowth

PDO Threads are an advanced regenerative therapy for hair restoration. The threads act as a scaffold under the skin, which triggers the body’s natural repair mechanism, promoting angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels) and collagen synthesis.

The threads gradually dissolve over 4–6 months, but their regenerative effects last much longer, making PDO a preferred choice for patients seeking non-surgical solutions for hair thinning.
