Thread Embedding therapy · TET
Thread Embedding therapy for the scalp

- Absorbable threads
- No incision, no stitches
- Out-patient sessions
How it works
What Thread Embedding is
In Thread Embedding therapy, very fine absorbable medical threads are placed just under the skin of the thinning areas of the scalp using a thin needle. The threads are made of a material the body breaks down, so they dissolve on their own over the following weeks and nothing needs to be removed.
The doctor decides after examining your scalp whether TET suits you, how many sessions to plan, and whether to combine it with another treatment such as PRP or GFC.
