PDO THREADS AND HOW THEY WORK

While it’s common to lose some hair during bathing or brushing each day, if you start to notice excessive shedding, thinning or bald spots, it might be time to talk to the experts at MAXIM Hair Restoration. We offer a plethora of surgical and nonsurgical methods to help restore your hair and confidence. You’ll start with a complimentary consultation to discuss your options and decide which of our hair restoration methods would work best for you. One of the many services we offer is PDO Scalp Threading, which is a combination therapy primarily focused on polydioxanone (PDO) scalp threading.

What Is PDO Scalp Threading?

Polydioxanone (PDO) threads were first used in procedures such as Dr. Emran Imami’s nonsurgical Ultra Facelift before gaining popularity as a hair restoration method. PDO threads are made with a synthetic monofilament suture. A clinician inserts PDO threads into carefully chosen dermal pockets near the dermal papilla of the hair follicles. These threads promote hair regrowth by increasing blood flow and tissue oxygenation to various tissue planes of the scalp and distressed hair follicles. PDO is a slow-dissolving synthetic suture material that promotes collagen production as well as hyaluronic acid, elastin, and new blood vessel formation. Essentially, by using PDO threads, we are biohacking the scalp, tricking it into loading the damaged tissue with growth factors, oxygen, fibroblasts, and nutrients. This stimulates tissue repair and promotes hair regrowth.

PDO threads will generally remain in the scalp for roughly six months. PDO scalp threading works similarly to microneedling, involving hair-related genes, which directly activate your body’s natural mechanisms in the hair bulge area, and it stimulates the release of growth factors such as PDGF. The biggest difference between the two methods is that microneedling causes a calculated acute micro-trauma to trigger this response, whereas PDO threads create a temporary chronic micro-trauma. This triggers your body’s response consistently, over an elongated period of time, reaping greater rewards. PDO scalp threading also incorporates microneedling into the procedure alongside using soft tissue injections for optimal benefit.

What Are the Benefits of PDO Scalp Threading?

PDO scalp threading can rejuvenate the thinning spots in your hair, providing you with a fuller head of hair after treatment. PDO threads provide your body with the nutrients your hair needs to grow. They stimulate a selective inflammatory response to your scalp that encourages your body to heal itself, thus promoting hair growth. Research has shown that PDO threads may cause  increased hair regrowth from an average of 65 to 93 hair follicles per centimeter. That’s quite an increase in regrowth.

PDO scalp threading is also a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure that can be done in a clinic setting over your lunch hour. In order to maintain a fuller head of hair, the process can be repeated every six months, but this may not be necessary if you are on preventative treatment options such as fin########. PDO scalp threading is a quick and painless procedure, leaving patients with a mild headache the following day. It’s very tolerable.

Who Is a Good Candidate for PDO Scalp Threading?

The patient needs to have hair follicles present in order for PDO threading to be successful. This hair restoration method does not make new hair follicles reappear on the scalp. It works best on intermediate or miniaturized hair that can be rejuvenated. Patients with severely thin areas probably won’t see much in the way of results, although PDO scalp threading can help them protect the little bit that remains.

The best results have been achieved on men and women with high numbers of intermediate (weak) hairs. If you’re in the beginning stages of hair loss, you may be an excellent candidate for PDO scalp threading.

How Do You Prepare for PDO Scalp Threading?

Because PDO scalp threading isn’t a surgical procedure, there’s very little preparation needed prior to your appointment. You will receive an anesthetic scalp ring-block, such as Septocaine, bupivacaine, or lidocaine, to minimize the discomfort of the procedure. The session will last approximately 60 minutes, and you can watch TV, take a nap, or read a book to pass the time. You will be scheduled for a follow-up appointment before leaving the clinic, and you may notice some redness, swelling, or bruising following the PDO procedure.

MAXIM Hair Restoration’s PDO Scalp Thread Technique

At MAXIM Hair Restoration, we offer PDO threading as one of our premier hybrid nonsurgical techniques. It uses three different procedures: PDO scalp threading, microneedling, and growth factor injections. The PDO procedure starts by drawing a bit of your blood, which is processed through a centrifuge, using dual-spin technology to isolate the growth factors from your blood and create a high concentration. Next, your scalp will be numbed using a scalp ring-block to minimize the discomfort of injecting the serum into your scalp.

Once the growth factors have been injected into your scalp, the clinician will place the PDO threads in the problem area. Finally, the remaining serum is applied to your scalp topically post microneedling. All three of these procedures have been proven to stimulate a recovery response from your body, increasing blood flow to the area to trigger tissue repair.

PDO scalp threading aids in hyaluronic acid, elastin, and collagen production in the scalp. MAXIM’s approach combines three of the most highly effective techniques for nonsurgical hair restoration to give patients a growth response for up to six months following the procedure. PDO scalp threading provides daily benefits to the scalp 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for up to eight months post-treatment.

MAXIM’s PDO thread technique can also be combined with a hair transplant, such as follicular unit transplantation. If this is something you’re interested in, you’ll want to be sure to discuss it with the professionals during your free consultation.

Potential Side Effects of PDO Scalp Threading

While PDO scalp threading is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure, some patients may experience side effects, including:

  • Redness.
  • Swelling.
  • Bruising.
  • Pain or discomfort.
  • Hematoma.
  • Infection.
  • Protrusion or extrusion.

Patients have also commented on a heavy feeling after a PDO scalp threading treatment, similar to having a hat on their head. This side effect isn’t harmful and is likely caused by the pressure of inserting the PDO threads.

Most side effects can be treated at home with over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, aspirin, or naproxen. NSAIDs help reduce swelling and relieve pain associated with PDO scalp threading. These side effects are extremely rare with PDO scalp threading. If you experience any side effects that can’t be controlled with at-home treatment, you should contact your hair restoration specialist for further instructions.

A Brief History of PDO Threads

Facelifts, or surgical facial rejuvenation, date back as far as 1911, but the more modern practice of midface suspensions for facial augmentation started in 1998. Those first procedures used a non-absorbable thread, which remained permanently in the body, creating the possibility of additional future facelifts to adjust the threading anytime there were significant changes in the facial structure. In 2011, PDO materials were introduced as a dissolvable solution, offering sustainable results. PDO threads are now used to treat a variety of issues, including:

  • Facial contouring. PDO thread is used for cheek enhancements, brow lifts, jawline lifts, and nose augmentation.
  • Skin tightening. It can treat drooping cheeks and sagging jowls.
  • Wrinkles. PDO thread can reduce wrinkles around the lips, forehead, cheeks, and eyes.
  • Reducing pore size. Doctors can use PDO thread to decrease the size of pores in the skin.
  • Neck skin. PDO thread tightens sagging neck skin and reduces double chins.
  • Hair rejuvenation. Thinning hair is stimulated to regrow with PDO thread.
  • Body contouring. Plastic surgeons utilize PDO thread for chest tightening, cellulite issues, knee lifts, upper arm tightening, and abdominal tightening.

WHAT ARE THE BEST SCALP EXERCISES TO STIMULATE HAIR GROWTH?

Perhaps thinning hair is genetic in your family, or maybe you had a full head of hair just a few years ago – but if you have thinning hair now, there is hope for hair growth with these Scalp exercises with Hair growth. While there are medical advancements in the field of hair restoration that could restore your lush locks, take the time to try other options. Some experts recommend scalp exercises to stimulate your hair follicles and promote growth.

SCALP EXERCISES THAT STIMULATE HAIR GROWTH maxim hair restorationThese scalp exercises don’t require a physical therapist’s recommendation or even supervision or prescription from a doctor. Try these natural excercices, holistic alternatives right in your own home to improve your scalp and hair health.

Scalp Relaxation

Although the word relaxation is in the title of this exercise, it’s truthfully not very relaxing. This method consists of using your interlocked palms, excluding thumbs, to move and stimulate the top layer of your scalp. Do not move your fingers. With this exercise, You can do these scalp movements for 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off, for a total of 10 repetitions.

Circular Massage

This is a more traditional method of a scalp massage. By massaging small sections of your scalp – not your hair – at a time, you can concentrate on stimulating your entire head. Make sure to alternate your movements between clockwise and counter-clockwise.  You can do this using your dry hands or by rubbing a little bit of vitamin E oil on your palms and fingers.

Inversion Method

The inversion method essentially takes the traditional circular massage and flips it on its head – literally. The inversion method requires you to bend over so that your scalp is lower than your heart. This position would allow more blood to rush to your head, allowing your follicles to be stimulated more easily. You would then repeat your clockwise and counter-clockwise circular massages in small sections.

Upside Down Washing

Instead of standing under the showerhead and letting the water rain down on you, try flipping your hair over your head and washing it in the sink.  You will be washing follicles that barely see the light day, and your scalp will thank you.  Try using a stimulating shampoo such as one that contains tea tree oil, then massage the shampoo into your hair using the fleshy parts of your fingertips.  Your hair will feel stimulated and amazing and may even look fuller after being washed upside down.

Using a Dermaroller

A dermaroller is a small handheld device that essentially causes micro-injuries to your skin. Using a dermaroller on your scalp may promote growth of your hair follicles by awakening your hair’s natural growth. Once your scalp is “injured” it will try to heal itself, activating the growth process.  Before using a dermaroller, be sure to consult an Aestheticians or your dermatologist; poking tiny holes into your skin may not be the best thing to do if you don’t know what you are doing.

THE PROS AND CONS OF LASER HAIR THERAPY

If there was ever a good time to lose your hair, it would be now and looking for laser hair therapy? There are a variety of hair restoration treatments available in the world today, with each offering something a little different in terms of benefits.

One such treatment is laser hair therapy. Wondering if laser hair therapy in Los Angeles, Orange County and Newport Beach, California, is right for you? Consider these pros and cons to decide on whether or not it’s the correct procedure for you to undertake.

pros and cons laser hair therapy infographic maximPros

 1. Reduces Hair Loss

While there aren’t a tremendous amount of studies available to back up the effectiveness of laser hair therapy, there is evidence to suggest that it reduces hair loss. By undergoing treatments on a weekly basis, you’ll be strengthening your hair follicles, allowing you to preserve hair for a longer time than you otherwise could have.

It must be noted, though, that laser hair therapy does not result in the regrowth of lost hair. You must undergo hair transplant surgeries such as Folicular Unit Extraction (FUE) or Folicular Unit Transplant (FUT) in Chicago, Illinois, and Los Angeles and Orange County, Newport Beach, California, to achieve such results.

 2. Improves the Aesthetics of Hair

Again, while laser hair therapy does not result in the regrowth of lost hair, it does promote the strength of existing hair and the appearance of greater density. Because it strengthens the hair follicles, it results in hair which is much healthier overall.

The result of this? Hair which is much more pleasing to the eye.

3. Excellent as a Supplement to Other Hair Procedures

Though laser hair therapy itself will not result in the regrowth of former hair, it can be successfully used as a companion to other, more intensive hair restoration procedures.

Using hair therapy as a supplement to strip hair transplant (FUT) or follicular unit extraction (FUE) in Los Angeles, and Newport Beach in Orange County, California, can result in a truly thick and dense mane of hair.

With this hair therapy can also help reduce dependence on other hair loss remedies such as topical steroids for hair loss treatment.

Cons

1. Not Scientifically Proven

As was noted above, laser hair therapy has limited research studies to back it up. At this point, it’s only been supported by the anecdotal evidence of those who have undergone it.

There is much contention on the subject at the moment. Many medical doctors have disputed its efficacy entirely while others have noted some positive results. However, in an official capacity, hair therapy is entirely unproven.

2. Requires Regular Treatments

Whereas hair transplant surgery in Los Angeles, and Newport Beach in Orange County, California, is essentially a one-time, end-all procedure, it’s hair therapy is something which requires a repetition of treatments. Each treatment takes around 30 minutes to complete and can be a little costly.

3. Mixed Results

As was noted above, laser hair therapy is a fairly hit-or-miss procedure. While it produces incredible results for some patients, it does almost nothing for others.

The success of a hair transplant has a lot to do with the state of the patient’s hair. If a patient’s hair follicles are already weak, they may not be able to be preserved. If a patient’s hair follicles are relatively strong, they stand a good chance of benefiting from the procedure.

Often times, women see the best results after undergoing hair therapy. Also, others who suffer from non-male or non-female pattern baldness see results as well.

Comparing Non-Invasive Hair Transplant Procedures In Newport Beach, California

When it comes to hair restoration, there are two general types of procedures: hair transplants and non-surgical hair restoration.

Hair transplants are a minor surgical procedure that includes follicular unit extraction (FUE) and follicular unit transplantation (FUT). Non-invasive hair transplant procedures include laser hair therapy, scalp micropigmentation, and as well as OTC, and prescription-based products such as Rogaine, Propecia, Minoxidil, and compounded solutions. Non-surgical hair replacement options include hair systems, hairpieces, and related.

In this article, we will compare and discuss non-surgical hair restoration procedures.

Laser Hair Therapy

One non-invasive hair transplant procedure you might want to consider is laser hair therapy. This hair therapy will not replace hair that has already been lost, but it will strength existing hair follicles.

This process is carried out by scanning a laser-emitting device over the patient’s head. Consisting of several different sessions over several weeks, each session typically takes 20 to 30 minutes to be carried out.

This procedure is best for those who are just starting to lose their hair. It can strengthen existing hair and prevent further hair loss from occurring. In most cases, it will cause the hair to become fuller and more luxurious.

If you’re looking for a completely painless hair restoration procedure, this is the one you’re seeking. It’s a completely hands-off procedure that involves no recovery at all.

It also tends to work well when combined with other therapies such as hair transplants. However, results on its own are mixed.

Scalp Micropigmentation

Another non-invasive hair procedure to consider is scalp micropigmentation. This is a procedure in which tiny pigments of ink are placed into the hair follicles on the head.

It should be noted that, by going through this procedure, you will not actually see any hair growth. Instead, you will be adorned with the appearance of hair; a 5 o’clock shadow look which presents itself as a full head of very short hair.

This is a suitable option for men who are experiencing serious hair loss. It can even be utilized by men who are entirely bald or those who like to shave their head or employ a buzz cut.

While there might be some slight discomfort during the procedure, after the procedure is finished, there is essentially no recovery time required. Requiring absolutely no maintenance, it typically thrives for around 4 to 8 years.

Though this is not a permanent hair restoration procedure, it can be touched up when needed, essentially making it permanent. It should also be noted that it’s cost-effective when compared to other types of hair restoration procedures.

Looking to Undergo One of the Above Procedures in Newport Beach, Orange County, California, or Chicago, Illinois?

Thinking about undergoing a hair restoration procedure in Newport Beach in Orange County, California, or Chicago, Illinois? Interested in a non-invasive procedure? If so, we here at Maxim Hair Restoration are the people to see.

What Type Of Hair Transplant Is Best?

As is the case with most things, when it comes to successful hair transplant options, what is best for one person is not necessarily best for another. For this reason identifying a single type of hair transplant as best is incredibly difficult. There are many factors that any prospective patient should consider when choosing an effective hair transplant procedure. To properly evaluate each type of hair transplant and to wind up with the best possible result, patients should commit to conducting an honest assessment of their specific hair loss goals and should make a pointgrafts and up to as many as 5,000 to consult a hair transplant expert near you before reaching any conclusions.

While making a choice regarding the best course of action for a hair transplant, prospective patients should consider the relative convenience of each procedure as well as any associated costs. A highly active patient with a modest amount of thinning hair, for example, may find it most convenient to simply opt for a single session of FUE, which involves a quicker recovery time but is also likely to involve a lengthier hair transplant session.

A patient with more extensive hair loss, on the other hand, is more likely to opt for FUT, which makes it possible to achieve a greater degree of coverage in a single session but also involves a lengthier (though not by very much) recovery time when compared to FUE. Through consultation with a hair restoration professional in your area, the best procedure can be discussed with the patient in order to ensure the best possible hair restoration result while taking the patient’s personal circumstances into account.

Is the Strip Method (FUT) the Best Hair Transplant Technique?

Whether or not a specific hair transplant technique is best is entirely dependent on a variety of conditions specific to the prospective patient. The Strip Method, also commonly referred to as FUT, is an ideal hair transplant technique for patients seeking an option that generates a significant amount of coverage while reducing the possibility of requiring multiple sessions to do so. This is because FUT involves the surgical removal of a strip from a donor site that typically yields up to 3,000 grafts and up to as many as 5,000 to 9,000 individual follicular units.

Patients with extensive hair loss or patients who are seeking to restore a great deal of volume to areas in which thinning hair has become an issue may find that the FUT procedure is the best option for hair restoration based on their unique personal needs. The Strip Method certainly differs from some of the other available options, but what is most convenient for each individual patient is best determined on a case-by-case basis that includes a detailed overview of how FUT can assist a patient in achieving the natural-looking hairline and thickness they are seeking to restore through hair transplantation.

Of course, cost should also be a consideration in determining the most ideal plan of action for a patient, and the FUT procedure tends to be one of the more cost-efficient options since it often requires fewer sessions and less time per session to achieve the patient’s hair restoration goals.

Generally, the Strip or FUT method produces a greater yield compared to the FUE technique.

Is FUE the Best Hair Transplant Technique?

Follicular Unit Extraction, or FUE, is an exceptional method of hair restoration that has successfully solved issues of thinning hair or hair loss in a wide variety of hair transplant clients. While the technique has been consistently successful in generating the result hair transplant patients are seeking, it is critical for prospective patients to recognize that “best” is a relative term that is dependent on the type of hair loss the patient is experiencing as well as a variety of other factors concerning cost and convenience.

The principal benefit of utilizing FUE is the fact that this procedure does not result in scarring and does not require the use of sutures either, which is part of the reason why patients are able to return to normal levels of activity just a single day following the procedure’s completion. If more than a single session is required to meet the patient’s hair restoration goals, those sessions can be scheduled on subsequent days due to the minimally invasive nature of the procedure.

minimally invasive hair transplant maxim hair restoration

Patients evaluating whether or not the FUE technique is the best available option will also have to consider the fact that the number of grafts that can be transplanted in a single session is limited to a degree.  For patients seeking significant coverage, the FUE technique will have to be evaluated according to the cost and convenience associated with multiple sessions.

Is Robotic Hair Restoration the Best Hair Transplant Technique?

A Robotic Hair Restoration is typically utilized in conjunction with the Follicular Unit Extraction, so any evaluation of this type of hair transplant procedure should begin with an analysis of FUE in relation to its efficacy in achieving the personal hair restoration goals of the individual client. In addition to considering the typical factors associated with the FUE technique, prospective hair restoration clients should also understand even sophisticated systems that utilize automation in an efficient manner will still require manual oversight from an experienced hair transplant surgeon.

The benefits of a Robotic Hair Restoration are undeniably similar to the FUE procedure, though Robotic Hair Transplants are often specifically designed to aid in maximizing the total yield of usable hair grafts from the donor site to be transplanted to the recipient site. This is accomplished in a variety of ways, including through the use of a pneumatic tool, a refrigeration system, or a system that prevents any instances of unintentional twisting or pulling that might otherwise damage the hair follicle as it is being removed from the donor site.

The limitation with robotic hair transplants is 1,500 grafts per session.

Is NeoGraft the Best Hair Transplant Technique?

NeoGraft is yet another option available to patients seeking to utilize the FUE procedure to address their hair loss issues, so a patient eligible for FUE may also be quite likely to be eligible for the use of NeoGraft as well. Some doctors and patients will come to the conclusion that the NeoGraft technique is the best option to address a patient’s hair loss or thinning hair, particularly if there is some level of concern that the donor site may not be able to yield sufficient follicular units to deliver the desired outcome. This is because the NeoGraft technique favors an automated system for the removal of individual follicular units, which ensures that the follicles are not damaged by twisting or pulling.

Patients considering the NeoGraft technique must also bear in mind that no level of automation can be considered a sufficient substitute for the handiwork of a skilled and experienced hair transplant surgeon, and this is a simple truth for any type of robotic hair transplant, NeoGraft included. Even though NeoGraft does increase the likelihood of a maximal yield from the donor site, the skilled hands of hair transplant doctors remain exceptionally effective when it comes to getting the most out of a patient’s donor site and are also able to design a natural-looking hairline while also adding significant volume to any thinning areas.

Is SmartGraft the Best Hair Transplant Technique?

One of the many hair transplant techniques utilizing automated technology, a SmartGraft Hair Transplant is similarly ideal for patients seeking to benefit from a maximal number of follicular units taken from a donor site. Used in FUE procedures, SmartGraft uses a pneumatic tool that prevents damage or desiccation to the hair follicle through a closed harvesting system that sends each follicle for immediate storage in a refrigeration unit. The pneumatic tool is itself considered an automated system, but it is worth noting that the efficacy of the procedure still relies on the manual manipulation of the tool.

Patients who have evaluated the FUE transplant technique in detail and feel it is the ideal course of action to achieve their specific goals may find that SmartGraft is a complement for the FUE component of the procedure. In every circumstance, it remains especially critical for the patient to consult a qualified hair restoration doctor near them in order to discuss how this particular procedure will be beneficial with regard to their specific hair restoration needs. Through a consultation in which the prospective client’s needs are outlined in detail, the best available technique can be identified with a greater deal of accuracy and clarity.

Generally speaking, machines and technology for hair transplantation have limitations on the number of grafts that can be harvested and implanted in one session, and they require manual intervention regardless.  Furthermore, technology has not proven to reduce the need or number of hair technicians.

Non-Surgical Hair Loss Solutions For Teenage Boys

What is a Non-Surgical Hair Loss Solution? It’s also known as Scalp Micropigmentation. Here are a number of factors that need to be considered when following a regimen that will help solve hair loss problems. If you are a teenager, one would not recommend to you some solutions that we would recommend to an adult.  Going through this harrowing experience and handling it well is worthy of applause.  Having the courage to look for solutions is a much smarter and better move than locking yourself in a room.  If it is any comfort, you are not alone in this.   About 16% of teenage boys suffer from male pattern baldness.

hair loss solutions for teeangers infographic

Non-Surgical Hair Loss Solution

All these teenage boys have the same questions: Why am I losing my hair? What do I do to stop it? Here is what you should do to be able to answer these questions and get on your path to healthy hair:

  1. See an expert. Find a certified dermatologist, plastic surgeon or trichologist who can diagnose your condition.
  2. Start a healthy diet.  You need nutritious foods to keep your hair healthy.  Modify your diet so it contains more proteins, iron, and vitamin B.  Seek professional help if you are suffering from an eating disorder like anorexia nervosa or bulimia.
  3. If you went through chemotherapy, hair loss is normal.  Try not to stress about losing your hair and direct your time and effort on the treatment.  Your hair will grow back normally when it’s over.
  4. If your hairline is beginning to recede you can try the various cosmetic choices intended for this situation:
  • Shave your hair and go completely bald.
  • Use Toppik, a filler product that can give the illusion of thicker and fuller hair. This is a good idea especially during the first stages of receding hairline.
  • Use Minoxidil but first seek the permission of your parents and doctor.  Hair loss in teenagers is obviously still on its earliest stage.  Minoxidil works wonders when it comes to stopping hair shedding at this point when your follicles are not yet dead.
  • If you are already 18 years of age, you can already use Propecia which is available only through prescription. It has serious possible side effects that’s why it is necessary to weigh your options well before using it.
  1. Undergo laser therapy if you can afford it.  It is effective during the beginning stages of hair loss. It is one of the most popular options because it is nonsurgical.  You can also use laser comb which you can buy from hair replacement salons.

These are some of the most effective ways to solve hair loss in teenage boys.  I do not suggest doing hair transplants at this age since your hair, scalp and face will still go through some stage of development.  Also, hair loss does not stabilize until after your mid-20s.

If you do hair transplants as early as now, you will continue to lose non-transplanted hair and your hairline will look strange when you get older.  There is a big chance that your hair will grow back so don’t stress too much.  So, rest and relax.
