The place im going to today is charging $450 for 15 threads.
The other place i checked wanted 800 dollars for 15.
Where im going today just threw out the 450 number because they were sceptical of the procedure and i believe they didnt want to rip me off. I doubt most other places would be that low

I understand it's your decision and the clinic's, but I would advice you being more selective with who you share the information
It would be great if an experienced user with a higher norwood could try this thing next. If the information is open to anyone I fear it would end up like Fidia information, with a mixture of obsessive people and downright trolls harassing the clinic

Is your face all red?
Just a couple puncture marks on my scalp. Nothing on my face
So an update to what happened today. I originally was going to do one test spot above one of my temple areas, consisting of 15 threads total. After talking to the technician we decided to increase the number of threads to around 24 and hit both temples and my thinning vertex in the back. This is why i posted all the pics today. So the test areas are a little smaller, but i hit all three of the areas with the most thinning.
As a side note the tech seemed to really like the idea of threading for hair growth, especially since its proven to aid in collagen formation. As a matter of fact, i joked about this backfiring and he told me he can only imagine this would produce positive results. He and another guy in the office both have thinning hair, and they were both very interested in how this is going to turn out. The tech told me he was also on finasteride, so hes trying to save his hair too. They offer laser therapy in the office and he told me that he knows that PDO threading does something (for anti-aging), but hes not sure about the laser, so hes putting more faith in the threading than he would the laser. Just kind of cool to hear someone in the field back up this paper/science.
Ill give more info tomorrow and answer any specific questions as they arise
Oh and the circled areas along with the back of my head are what was treated.

Huge thanks for doing that and sharing your experience with us @champpy !! Looks like you have found the perfect clinic to get this procedure done.
The only question that I'd have atm is if the threading can be repeated (indefinitely) after the threads have resolved? Did you speak to them with regards to this?

I didnt ask specifically but im almost certain it can. They said results (for anti aging) usually last 6 months to a year before it needs to be repeated. I would think the biggest concern is how long your body can produce collagen in amounts that are noticeable.

This is awesome. Thanks for being so quick to just jump into this procedure, the forum is rooting for you man! Excited to see what kind of results you get. you might have already mentioned this but are you on any other treatments? I feel like minoxidil + scalp threading could give you great results, maybe even better than the minoxidil / dermarolling study results.

Ahh, great to see some proper 'before' pics.
