WHAT IS PDOplus?

PDOplus is a combination therapy that works on rejuvenating the hair follicle. The combination treatment consists of threading using PRP. Thread Embedding Therapy (TET) is a proven, breakthrough medical procedure to counter hair loss. It’s an outpatient, non-invasive, non-surgical procedure that uses a small dermal needle in the scalp, and polydioxanone (PDO), a dissolvable thread (think soluble sutures). It stimulates hair growth by rejuvenating tired, weakened follicles. Best of all, it takes less than one hour. There’s no recovery, no downtime, and no aftercare, and there are no activity restrictions. You can carry on with your life.

PDO, which was invented in South Korea, has been FDA approved. In recent years, TET has been widely used for cosmetic purposes, such as reducing wrinkles and tightening facial skin – an alternative to invasive face lifts – based on the belief that the PDO will help regenerate connective tissue. And now it’s being used to regenerate hair. You may see results in 4-6 months.

How does it work?
Quite simply, PDOplus stimulates your hair re-growth by releasing growth factors and increasing blood flow in the treated areas. PRP is also associated with neo-vascularization and collagen regeneration, so if you’re also undergoing PRP treatments, the PDO threads enhance those effects.

The threads used in PDOplus have been FDA approved to form new blood vessels (neo-vascularization), regenerate collagen types 1 and 3, and break down fat (lipolysis). Hospitals have used PDO safely for decades, with no problems with allergies or long-term complications.
