The condition
Threads are a clinic-defined cosmetic adjunct for selected thinning areas, not a diagnosis or a treatment for every cause of alopecia.
Skinfinity treatment
Threads may be placed under the scalp skin; we verify the material, brand, depth, number, technique and authorisation. It should not be assumed that PDO or any specific product is used.

What is the condition?
Scalp threads are a clinic-defined cosmetic add-on (adjunct) for selected areas of thinning. They are not a diagnosis, and they are not a treatment for every cause of alopecia.
The service name confirms that we offer this treatment, but the name alone does not establish a diagnosis or a standardised medical indication. The evidence and its limits are summarised in the cited sources.12345
How Skinfinity treats this concern
Threads may be placed under the skin of your scalp. We verify and explain the thread material, brand, placement depth, number of threads, technique and authorisation.
It should not be assumed that PDO (polydioxanone) or any other specific product is used.
The exact product, equipment, settings, route of delivery, number of visits and responsible clinician will be explained to you and recorded during your consultation; they should not be inferred from the service name.
Before treatment, we check the manufacturer’s instructions and the applicable Indian and local regulatory requirements.
What we confirm with you before treatment
- The thread material
- The brand
- Placement depth
- Number of threads
- Insertion technique
- Authorisation of the product
- Insertion by a trained medical professional
- Product traceability
- Complication and removal plan
- The exact product and equipment used
- The settings and route of delivery
- The planned number of visits
- The responsible clinician
- The manufacturer’s instructions and applicable Indian/local regulatory requirements
What outcome can you expect?
A fuller-looking appearance is possible, but the evidence is limited, how long the effect lasts is uncertain, and threads cannot restore hair follicles that have been destroyed.
Ask us for a realistic, individualised plan rather than a guaranteed before-and-after promise. Where a condition may recur or continue, long-term management may matter more than a single cosmetic session.

Aftercare and long-term support
- Follow your wound-care instructions, and avoid touching or rubbing the area and using products your clinician has not approved.
- Report infection, a thread working its way out (extrusion) or becoming visible, severe pain, numbness or drainage.
- Keep your written instructions and attend your follow-up appointments.
- Patient photographs or measurements are taken only with your consent, with privacy protection and under consistent conditions.
Suitability, limitations and safety
We confirm insertion by a trained medical professional, sterile technique, product traceability, informed consent and a plan for managing complications or removing threads.
Risks include bruising, thread migration, dimpling, infection, scarring and injury to a nerve or blood vessel.
Your provider will confirm their qualifications and review your medical history, medicines, allergies, pregnancy considerations and any contraindications. We use sterile technique and single-use components where relevant, protect your privacy, and document your informed consent, the alternatives, the expected discomfort and the costs.
We do not proceed with an unexplained skin lesion or hair-loss pattern until a qualified clinician has assessed it.
Contact the clinic promptly if your symptoms worsen. Seek urgent medical care for breathing difficulty, severe pain, heavy bleeding, rapidly increasing swelling, neurological symptoms or any other emergency signs.
Regenerative or “stem-cell-like” claims — including those made for exosomes, Dutexomes, QR678, fillers and threads — are not described as approved or proven without product-specific and country-specific verification.

Possible reactions
