Why Consider Hair Threads Treatment?

Hair Threads treatment is effective for people with early signs of mild to moderate hair thinning or hair loss. It is the best option for those who haven’t seen results from other conventional hair growth treatments, are seeking non-surgical hair loss solutions, and desire a healthy scalp. PDO threads have been extensively used in aesthetic medicine, originally for face and neck lifting, and hair rejuvenation.

Further, Hair Threads treatment is:

  • Virtually painless
  • A lunch-time procedure that requires minimal downtime
  • The PDO threads are bio-absorbable, safe, and biodegradable
  • Improves hair quality and volume
  • Is safe to be combined with PRP treatment for better results

What Is Hair Threads Treatment?

As mentioned, experienced dermatologists implant bio-absorbable PDO threads that work by stimulating collagen production and, thus, strengthening hair follicles. They also improve blood circulation and nourish the scalp. Clients can see improved hair density as the treatment forms a 3D scaffolding. The results are long-lasting as the threads dissolve over 6-8 months.

How Does Hair Threads Treatment At Oliva Work?

Pre Treatment

The treatment procedure starts with Oliva’s exclusive V-Discover process, a 5-step consultation to get a thorough understanding of the client’s unique needs. It includes a body composition for overall health, a DermaScan to assess the client’s skin, a TrichoScan for hair analysis, and an in-depth consultation with a dermatologist and a nutritionist. The dermatologist will assess the scalp health and hair density. Then, they create a customised Hair Threads treatment plan and schedule the first treatment session.

During The Treatment

Our medical team will thoroughly cleanse the scalp and apply a numbing cream to ensure the client has a comfortable treatment experience. Then, using ultra-thin needles, they gently insert fine, absorbable PDO threads into the scalp areas with reduced hair density. The threads dissolve over time, stimulating collagen and hair growth. On average, it takes 3-4 sessions with a gap of 4-6 weeks between each session.

Post Treatment

The clients receive a set of post-care instructions that include:

  • Avoid washing or massaging the treated area for at least 12 hours.
  • Avoid swimming, sauna and strenuous activities for at least 5 days to prevent infections.
  • Start the use of topical medications and follow scalp care instructions after 2-3 days.
