What is an eyebrow transplant?
An eyebrow transplant is a similar procedure to that of the hair transplant. Apart from FUE being used for scalp baldness it is also used in reconstruction of eyebrows and treating leukotrichia and vitiligo. The process works by taking donor hair from the scalp using FUE technique, prepared under the microscope and transplanting it to the eyebrows at the area devoid of hair to treat eyebrow hair loss and also to reshape to create natural-looking eyebrows
Eyebrow hair transplant is a very delicate procedure, which is done under expertise of Dr. Indu as it requires perfect placement of the hairs into tiny incisions that are angled at just the right direction and positioned to mimic natural growth. No scalpels are needed and no stitches are required. The procedure is 100% micro-surgical and mini invasive. Patients will regain their natural growing eyebrows with no side effects.
How long do eyebrow transplants compared to microblading?
Eyebrow transplants are a permanent solution for eyebrow implants, using the FUE technique, these procedures last a lifetime whereas microblading is a temprory semi-permanent reconstruction of eyebrows. The growth is seen in few months and final growth at around 8 months. The transplanted eyebrow hair must be periodically trimmed (typically once a month). This is completely standard for eyebrow implants and after some time the transplanted hair can adjust and might no longer need trimming.
