Years of experienceWHAT ARE SCALP THREADS?
What are hair threads?
Hair thread treatment places fine, absorbable threads beneath the skin of the scalp. Published studies have used PDO, a material also used in medical sutures.
Researchers are studying whether the tissue response around these threads can help pattern hair loss. The threads gradually absorb; they do not tie down hairs or move new follicles into bald areas.
Before deciding: understand the limited evidence, the recovery involved and the other treatments available for your diagnosis.
IS IT FOR ME?
Who can have hair threads?
- 01
Crown thinning
Your doctor checks whether the crown changes are due to pattern hair loss and discusses the range of available treatments.
- 02
A widening part
Some early studies have looked at female pattern hair loss. That does not establish suitability without an individual scalp assessment.
- 03
Sudden shedding or soreness
These symptoms need a diagnosis before considering a procedure. Threads do not secure hairs that are shedding because of another cause.
Scalp health, your diagnosis and the expected benefit should guide whether a procedure is worthwhile.
YOUR APPOINTMENT, EXPLAINED
How hair threads work.
STEP 01
Prepare for your appointment
- Tell your doctor about medicines
Discuss bleeding problems, allergies, active skin conditions and previous reactions to procedures. Do not stop a prescribed medicine unless the prescriber advises it.
- Assess your scalp
Your doctor reviews the pattern of thinning, scalp health, medical history and previous treatment. Discuss whether a thread procedure has a useful role alongside other options.
STEP 02
Local numbing & thread insertion
- Plan the treated area
The clinician explains the thread material, proposed areas, numbing, expected recovery and alternatives. The number and placement should be specific to the plan.
- Place the threads
After cleansing and local numbing, fine threads are inserted with an introducer. They remain beneath the skin and gradually absorb. They do not attach individual hairs to the scalp.
- Understand the sensations
Numbing helps with comfort, but pressure or tenderness can occur. Ask what to expect and how to contact the clinic after the appointment.
STEP 03
Aftercare & follow-up
- Look after the treated scalp
Follow the clinic’s instructions about washing, rubbing and activity. Tenderness, bruising, infection or thread-related irritation can occur. Do not pull at an exposed thread; contact the clinic.
- Set a review date
Absorption and recovery depend on the material and procedure. Hair changes take longer than initial skin healing, and there is no guaranteed improvement or universal repeat schedule.

MEET THE PEOPLE BEHIND YOUR CARE
Meet our doctors
01What are hair threads made of?
Published scalp-threading studies have used polydioxanone, often shortened to PDO, an absorbable material also used in medical sutures. Your clinician should explain the exact thread and technique proposed.
02Do the threads hold my hair in place?
No. They are not tied to hair shafts or used to grip loose hair roots. The procedure is being studied for possible effects on the scalp tissue around follicles.
03How much evidence is there?
Small published studies have investigated scalp threads for pattern hair loss, including a pilot study in women. Larger, longer studies are needed to establish how well it works and which patients benefit. It should not be presented as a guaranteed hair-growth treatment.
04Is it a hair transplant?
No. No donor follicles are moved during scalp threading. A transplant is a separate operation with its own assessment, procedure and recovery.
05Will the threads be visible?
They are intended to sit beneath the skin. Ask about possible unevenness, irritation or exposure. If a thread becomes visible or an area becomes increasingly sore, contact the clinic rather than trying to remove it.
06Can I have it with other hair treatments?
Your doctor may discuss a combined plan, but more procedures do not automatically mean better results. Explain everything you already use so that timing, healing and the purpose of each treatment are clear.
07What should I watch for afterwards?
Follow your aftercare instructions. Worsening pain, increasing redness, discharge, fever or a visible thread should be reviewed promptly. Your clinic should give you a contact for concerns during recovery.
