An eyebrow transplant is a specialised hair restoration procedure designed to address eyebrow thinning or loss caused by medical conditions such as alopecia, scarring, or hormonal imbalances. The procedure involves carefully implanting hair follicles to restore natural growth, whether it’s filling in patchy areas, replacing lost hair, or rebuilding the brows’ natural shape. While the result may include thicker and fuller eyebrows, the primary goal is to provide a long-term solution for underlying medical concerns affecting eyebrow hair.
It’s often performed using the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant method, which involves the precise extraction of individual hair follicles from a donor area, typically the back of the scalp, where hair growth is dense and stable.
FUE has become a popular choice for facial hair transplants as it is considered less invasive than the Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) method and therefore has a smaller likelihood of scarring. It’s also the least painful method of hair transplantation, which is important around the sensitive eye area, and has a faster recovery time than alternative methods. FUE is also used for other types of hair restoration, like beard transplants.
