Eyebrows will naturally thin with age, and can also be damaged by repeated over plucking, scars and other damage to the location. With trends in the shape and style of eyebrows changing so much we find a lot of women in particular have plucked their eyebrows to such a degree when younger that they find it hard to match the latest styles, and while microblading and other forms of temporary tattooing the area can give a short term benefit, it does not give a long term effect.
An Eyebrow transplant involves taking some hair from another part of the body that are similar in thickness top your natural eyebrow hairs – usually the fine hairs in your head a short distance just behind the ear, and transplanting them directly into the eyebrow itself. Most eyebrows need between 250-400 hairs each depending on the desired result. The browline shape and style is chosen by you in consultation with the Doctor to give you the natural appearance you desire. The procedure is completed in a single day under local anaesthetic, usually taking around 4-6 hours. Most patients take 5-7 days off work recovery time.
The results are permanent and newly implanted hair will start to grow from the 3 month mark, with final results after 9-12 months. You can trim and shape your new eyebrows although we recommend avoiding plucking the new hairs to avoid losing them. The new eyebrows will take a little more maintenance as the new hairs will be from your head so will naturally grow longer than the rest of your eyebrows, so will need occasional trimming.
