Eyebrow Hair Transplant

An eyebrow hair transplant is a treatment that uses your own hair follicles to enhance your eyebrows. Your eyebrows are a prominent facial feature that affects your appearance, and thinning or sparse eyebrows can impact your self-esteem. With an eyebrow hair transplant, we can help you achieve thicker, fuller brows.

About Eyebrow Hair Transplant

Follicular unit extraction (FUE) can help you achieve natural-looking, thicker eyebrows with lasting results. If your eyebrows are thinning (madarosis) or have changed shape due to hair loss, we can extract hair follicles from one area of your body (normally the hairs that are more resistant to hair loss on the back of your head) and use them to reshape your eyebrows for beautiful, lasting results. If you have naturally thin eyebrows and would like to enhance their fullness and shape, this procedure can help you achieve your desired look as well.

The eyebrows play an important role in framing the face and contributing to the appearance of emotional expression. Thinning eyebrows do not just affect your appearance; they can affect your quality of life. In a recent study, 52% of women reported feeling worried about how they were being perceived after they started to lose their eyebrow hair. ⁽¹⁾ Some individuals with thinning eyebrows also experience thinning eyelashes (milphosis). With an eyebrow hair transplant, our team of specialists can use your own hair follicles to enhance your appearance for a natural look. We can strategically place the hair follicles to help you achieve even, attractive brows that complement your other features.

How Hair Transplantation Works

During a hair transplant procedure, we can carefully harvest hair follicles from one area of the body and place them in the eyebrow area with semi-automated technology that allows for more precise, even placement than placing them by hand. This method is called Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). Instead of harvesting large patches of hair, individual follicles are removed, usually from the back of the head, where hair is more resistant to hormone changes. We harvest the hair follicles with suction and preserve them in a special solution to prevent damaging your skin and preserve the health of each follicle. Our specialized techniques help the follicles take root more successfully. Unlike follicular unit transplantation (FUT)—an older method of hair restoration that requires a long incision to remove a strip of hair follicles—FUE avoids long incisions for minimal downtime and less visible scarring.

Benefits

There are several benefits to eyebrow hair transplants, including:

Candidates

Suitable candidates for an eyebrow transplant are individuals who would like to improve the appearance of sparse eyebrows for a more youthful appearance. If you have experienced eyebrow hair loss for any of the following reasons, an eyebrow hair transplant can help you achieve your aesthetic goals with minimal downtime:

Eyebrow transplants are also available to those who have naturally thin or sparse eyebrows and simply want to enhance their look and eyebrow definition. To be a candidate for eyebrow hair transplants, you will need to have enough donor hair follicles to achieve your desired result.

Consultation

During your consultation, we will collect information to determine the best treatment plan for your needs and recommend additional treatments. Please come prepared to discuss your medical history, current medications, and aesthetic goals in depth to help us create a treatment plan for your desired look. To create a personalized treatment plan, we will consider the best brow design for your facial features to balance your features. ⁽²⁾ We will also consider the best area for extracting the donor follicles and which placement technique can help you achieve the most natural-looking results. ⁽²⁾

We will ask about your aesthetic preferences, including eyebrow shape, height, and density, to create a look you feel confident about. We can also perform laser hair removal treatments between the brows if you want to remove hair from certain areas.

Preparation & Treatment Process

To prepare for an eyebrow hair transplant, you must stop taking blood thinners and smoking for several weeks before and after your procedure. You must also avoid excessive sun exposure, which can damage your skin.

On the day of your treatment, you will need to arrive in comfortable clothing. We will cleanse your skin and apply a topical anesthetic. During your treatment, we can harvest healthy donor hair follicles and use them to sculpt your brows for thick, even hair growth. The length of your procedure will depend on your aesthetic goals and treatment plan. The procedure typically takes several hours, depending on the complexity and extent of transplantation required. The typical duration of an eyebrow hair transplant is about 3-5 hours.

After Your Treatment

You can return home after your treatment, but we recommend resting to give yourself time to recover. Initial swelling and redness may occur, but these effects usually subside within the first few days. We can provide specific aftercare instructions to help your skin heal after your transplant. You will need to take good care of your skin and avoid excessive sun exposure and abrasive skin treatment, as skin damage can affect the ability of the hair follicles to take root.

Eating healthy meals, taking vitamins, and washing your face gently as your professional recommends will help your skin recover. Being gentle with your skin is especially important to allow the hair follicles to settle properly into their new location. You must be careful not to pull on them or put any pressure on the treatment area during this initial phase.

After an eyebrow hair transplant, you can enjoy smoother, fuller eyebrows and lasting results. Because we use your own hair follicles, the brows will begin to grow over time, providing a more natural look than that of microblading or other cosmetic tattooing.

The cost of an eyebrow transplant will depend on the look you want to achieve and whether or not you need additional procedures to achieve your goals.
