January 2023 in “Al-Azhar International Medical Journal (Print)” This pilot study found that using polydioxanone monofilament threads for scalp stringing resulted in significant hair regrowth and increased hair density in male patients with vertex androgenetic alopecia (crown baldness) over six months, showing favorable and promising outcomes.
August 2024 in “International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR)” In this study, 10 men with androgenetic alopecia who did not respond to standard treatments showed significant hair regrowth and satisfaction after being treated with polydioxanone scalp threads, suggesting a potential therapeutic advantage for this approach.
January 2017 in “Journal of cosmetology & trichology” In this study, polydioxanone threads significantly reduced hair loss and promoted hair regrowth in patients with androgenetic alopecia who did not respond to minoxidil and finasteride.
December 2025 in “Zagazig University Medical Journal” This review discusses polydioxanone threads as a promising, minimally invasive treatment for androgenetic alopecia in both males and females, but notes that further research is needed to optimize protocols and outcomes.
February 2026 in “Journal of Korea Society of Ingrielogy” This review discusses the potential immuno-regenerative effects of polydioxanone threads in hair loss treatment, focusing on tissue responses and immune modulation, but does not report clinical results.
