Combining PDO threads and PRP injections for hair restoration
Hair thinning and loss are common problems that affect both men and women at any point in their lives. The cause may vary, but many find that they experience issues due to genetics, hormonal imbalances, stress, and medical conditions. While several treatments are available for hair loss, combining PDO threads and PRP injections has emerged as a promising option for those seeking to restore their hair. Dr. Obinna Oriaku and his team at Eden MedSpa in Charlotte, North Carolina, can educate you on this hair loss treatment and whether or not it is right for you!
How do PDO threads and PRP injections combat hair loss?
Both PDO threads and PRP injections have their place in aesthetics. However, combining the two can provide a solution for men and women with hair thinning and loss.
PDO threads, or polydioxanone threads, are commonly used in facial rejuvenation treatments to lift and tighten the skin. On the other hand, PRP injections have gained popularity for their ability to increase hair growth and thickness. When these two treatments are combined, they work synergistically to address some of the causes of hair loss.
How do PDO threads work with PRP injections?
PDO threads are thin, dissolvable threads inserted into the scalp using a small needle. Once placed, they help stimulate collagen production and promote skin tightening, improving the overall health of the scalp and hair follicles. When combined with PRP injections, which contain growth factors and platelets from the patient’s blood, this treatment can further enhance the effects of PDO threads. The growth factors in the PRP injections nourish the hair follicles and promote new hair growth while also increasing blood circulation in the scalp.
What are the benefits of combining PDO threads and PRP injections for hair loss?
One of the most significant benefits of combining these two treatments is that they work on different levels to address hair thinning and loss. PDO threads provide physical support and stimulation to the scalp, while PRP injections work on a cellular level to promote hair growth. As a result, clients see improvements in both the thickness and texture of their hair and overall scalp health. Additionally, PDO threads and PRP injections are minimally invasive procedures with little to no downtime, making them convenient options for those looking for solutions that won’t require recovery time.

What is PRP?
Our team at Eden MedSpa best describes PRP as the latest and most advanced technology in hair restoration. PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, a concentration of platelets and growth factors obtained from your blood that helps stimulate hair growth.
How does PRP work for hair restoration?
PRP is injected into the scalp to target the areas of thinning hair or hair loss. The concentrated growth factors in PRP promote natural tissue healing and stimulate inactive or newly implanted hair follicles, increasing hair density and thickness.
What are PDO threads?
PDO threads are a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment used in the medical field for many years. They fabricate polydioxanone, a biodegradable material commonly used in surgical sutures. When placed under the skin, PDO threads create scaffolding that supports and lifts sagging or aging tissues.
How do PDO threads help with hair restoration?
PDO threads can be inserted into the scalp to stimulate collagen production and improve blood flow to the hair follicles. This action strengthens existing hair and promotes new hair growth. PDO threads also tighten loose skin around the scalp, giving a lifted appearance and reducing signs of aging.
Why should I combine PRP injections and PDO threads for hair restoration?
Combining PRP injections and PDO threads can offer even better results for hair restoration. The growth factors in PRP help to nourish and stimulate the hair follicles, while PDO threads provide structural support and improve blood flow to the area. Together, these treatments promote healthy hair growth and improve overall scalp health.
Are there any side effects of using PRP or PDO threads for hair restoration?
PRP and PDO thread treatments are minimally invasive and have minimal side effects. Some patients may notice redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, but these usually subside within a few days. If side effects persist, we recommend contacting Dr. Obi Oriaku to discuss your condition and determine whether any action is needed to address it
Who is a proper candidate for PRP injections and PDO threads?
Most individuals experiencing hair loss or thinning hair might be proper candidates for PRP injections and PDO threads. However, it is important to consult with a medical professional, like Dr. Obi Oriaku at Eden MedSpa, to determine if these treatments are appropriate for you.
We will consider factors like overall health, underlying medical conditions, and the severity of hair loss before recommending these treatments.
How many sessions of PRP injections and PDO threads are needed to achieve optimal results?
The number of sessions required varies between patients and depends on the individual’s response to treatment. Multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart may be necessary to achieve desired results. Our team might also recommend maintenance sessions to sustain the results.
How long do the results of PRP injections and PDO threads last?
Results may vary for each individual, but the effects of PRP injections and PDO threads can last up to one to two years. However, as hair growth is a continuous cycle, maintenance treatments are necessary for optimal results.
