Who an eyebrow transplant can help
- Brows thinned by years of plucking or waxing
- Gaps caused by scars or injury
- Naturally sparse or uneven brows
Eyebrow loss can also have medical causes, such as thyroid conditions or alopecia areata. These should be assessed first, because a transplant may not be suitable while the cause is active.
Designing your brows
The new shape is marked on your face and agreed with you before treatment, taking into account your features and the brows you have now. The direction of each hair changes along the brow, so placement follows that pattern closely.
Living with transplanted brows
Because the hairs come from the scalp, they keep the growth pattern of scalp hair. That means they grow longer than natural brow hair and need regular trimming, usually every week or two.
Common questions
Will I need to trim my new eyebrows?
Yes. Transplanted hairs keep growing like scalp hair, so most people trim them regularly to keep the shape.
Is an eyebrow transplant permanent?
Hair taken from the back of the scalp is generally long-lasting, so the result is expected to be permanent once it has grown in.
Can an eyebrow transplant be combined with a hair transplant?
Sometimes, depending on your donor area and overall plan. Ask the team during your consultation.
