Eyebrow Transplant F.A.Q.
Minimal corrections, just filling sparse spots or shape, might be 100-200 total. Full restoration from almost no brows to thick/dense: closer to 300-450 per brow (up to 500+ in some cases).
Yes, transplanted hairs from your scalp, keep growing indefinitely, like head hair. They don’t stop at natural brow length and will continue for life.
Yes most people trim them every 1-3 weeks (scissors or trimmer) to keep brows neat and at the right length. Many adapt quickly, it’s minor upkeep like grooming any hair. Some use gel to train direction.
First 7-14 days: swelling, scabs, redness no touching or washing the area. Transplanted hairs usually shed (shock loss) in 2-4 weeks. New growth starts around 3-4 months, visible improvement by 6-9 months, full final results at 12-18 months.
Shock loss refers to temporary shedding of transplanted or surrounding native hairs that can occur within the first few weeks after the procedure. It is a normal and expected response of hair follicles to surgical stress.
In most cases, the transplanted hairs shed during the first month and begin regrowing after 3-4 months.
Yes, it works great for almost everyone, even total bald spots. Over plucked “forever sparse” brows are the classic case with excellent outcomes. Scars especially raised/burn scars can be trickier lower survival rate, but still doable. Oily/thin skin is fine too.Â
The transplanted follicles are permanent DHT resistant from the donor area, so they don’t fall out like natural brow hairs might from aging/hormones. Results last a lifetime for most people. Over decades, hairs can gray or thin slightly like all hair, but no major loss. Some add a small touch up years later if density drops, but the vast majority call it one and done.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Patients may feel mild discomfort during anesthesia injection, but the implantation itself is typically painless.
FUE refers to the graft extraction method.
DHI refers to a direct implantation technique using an implanter pen, allowing precise control of angle and depth especially important in eyebrow design.
An eyebrow transplant typically takes 4-6 hours depending on the number of grafts.
USA/Europe: $5,000-$10,000+ (often $7,000â$9,000 for both brows).
