What Is Hair Threads Treatment?
Hair threads is a minimally-invasive treatment, where experienced dermatologists insert bio-absorbable PDO threads that work by stimulating epidermal growth factors and vascularity production, thus strengthening hair follicles. They also improve blood circulation and nourish the scalp. Clients can see improved hair density. The threads dissolve over 6-8 months, thus providing long-lasting results.
How Do PDO Threads Work To Stimulate Hair Growth?
PDO threads help promote blood flow and epidermal growth factor in the scalp. The process strengthens the hair follicles and stimulates new hair growth.
Who Can Benefit From PDO Hair Thread Treatment?
The treatment works best for people experiencing early to moderate stages of hair loss. It helps slow down hair loss while stimulating hair growth. The following list covers all those who can benefit from the hair threads treatment:
- Men and women experiencing hair thinning and reduced hair density and seeking natural, non-surgical solutions.
- Individuals who were unresponsive to minoxidil or finasteride.
- People with early hair loss signs and poor scalp health.
- People with time constraints or are frequent travellers.
- Those who don’t want to opt for surgical hair regrowth procedures.
- People with advanced hair loss but still have healthy hair follicles.
We recommend that you book a consultation with our dermatologists who can analyse your scalp health and determine the suitability of threading treatment for hair growth.
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

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, which includes a body composition analysis 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’s health and hair density.
After a thorough understanding of your hair growth status and your needs, they create a customised Hair Threads treatment plan and schedule the first treatment session.
During The Treatment
Step 1: Our medical team will thoroughly cleanse the scalp and apply a numbing cream to the target areas, ensuring the client has a comfortable treatment experience.
Step 2: Then, using ultra-thin needles, they gently insert fine, absorbable PDO threads into the scalp areas with reduced hair density.
Note that the threads dissolve over time, stimulating collagen and hair growth.
Our doctors usually recommend one session and may consider a repeat session after 4-6 months, depending on the number of threads inserted the first time and the individual’s hair growth progress. For maintenance, the dermatologist may recommend an additional hair threads or PRP hair treatment session, but this varies from person to person.
Post Treatment
You will 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.
