PDO Threads : New treatment for pathological hair loss

There are various reasons for pathological hair loss. Often it is hereditary. However, hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, or medication side effects can also cause alopecia. Both men and women can be affected. A pathological condition is diagnosed when a person loses more than 100 hairs per day over a prolonged period.

Studies prove the success of the thread technique

Several scientific studies show that threading using so-called PDO Threads can alleviate hair loss. These ultra-fine threads are inserted into the scalp under local anesthesia. They stimulate the skin and trigger effects that have shown lasting results in test subjects: hair loss was significantly reduced. Specifically, PDO Threads stimulate a growth protein and promote the formation of new collagen.

Collagen is a natural protein and an important component of connective tissue and skin. As part of the natural aging process, the amount of collagen decreases, thus reducing the elasticity of connective tissue and skin. The gluteal area stimulating and regenerative effects of PDO Threads are also utilized in cosmetic surgery. The so-called Thread Lift for example, is used to tighten the skin on the face, neck, and décolleté.

Alopecia: Painless and low-risk procedure

When using PDO Threads to treat pathological hair loss, patients can be treated on an outpatient basis using minimally invasive techniques. Dr. G. Felix Brölsch, German board-certified specialist in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery at Löwen Ästhetik , has been using PDO Threads to treat patients for years and offers the following advantages for alopecia therapy: "The threads dissolve on their own over time. The treatment is gentle, painless, and low-risk."
