An Eyebrow Hair Transplant Requires a Very Skilled Hair Surgeon

Eyebrows are a main focal point of the face. Due to a variety of reasons, including thyroid diseases, alopecia areata, burns, infections, repeated plucking, congenital inability to grow eyebrows and a genetic predisposition, some people experience eyebrow hair loss.

An eyebrow hair transplant differs in several ways compared with a scalp hair transplant:

1) Eyebrow hairs grow in different directions, with several directional changes at different points of the brow, creating a subtle arched shape.

2) Eyebrow hair emerges from the follicle at a very specific angle, with the hair growing flat against the skin’s surface. Scalp hair, on the other hand, grows up and out from the scalp, at about a 45 degree angle.

3) Compared with other hair growth cycles, eyebrow hair only grows for 4 months and then falls out. Scalp hair’s growth phase can vary widely from person to person but usually lasts between 3 to 7 years.

4) When a hair surgeon does a scalp hair transplant, hair is implanted in the follicle in strands of 4. Eyebrow transplants require single, individual strand implantations.

Things a Must Keep in Mind When Choosing a Hair Transplant Center:

In order to follow the natural direction of hair, incisions for the eyebrow hair transplant must be made with a very fine need that runs nearly parallel to the surface of the skin.

Eyebrow transplants require and abundance of both skill and patience. Single hair micrografts, take a long time and cosmetic understanding to be implanted in a way that will produce natural results.

The texture of the patient’s hair must be taken into account much more than with a scalp transplant. Wavy or curly hair must be placed with extreme precision compared with straight hair.

Hair Transplant Cost

The cost of a hair transplant varies depending on the technique being used. The pluggy, noticeable looking hair transplants are called mini and micro-grafts. Usually the results are that of a doll head. Many hair transplant clinics still have not started using microscopes for harvesting grafts. A follicular unit transplant is the most up to date and gold standard in hair restoration industry. Keep in mind that with any health and surgical procedure, you get what you pay for. It is much less costly in the long run to pay for one well done procedure than to pay half price for a botched procedure, and then twice as much to correct it.
