Most people with thin, asymmetrical or sparse eyebrows are good candidates for an eyebrow transplant. The main requirement is a sufficiently dense donor zone — usually the back of the head — from which the necessary hair follicles are harvested.

The treatment is suitable for both men and women. Common causes include over-plucking, scarring, hormonal hair loss or genetically thin eyebrows. Medical conditions such as alopecia areata require a separate assessment, as the immune system may also attack transplanted hairs.

During your free consultation we will evaluate your donor zone, current eyebrow pattern and desired outcome to determine whether and when an eyebrow transplant is the right choice for you.

The number of grafts required depends on the current condition of your eyebrows and the desired outcome. To densify existing eyebrows, typically 150 to 300 grafts per eyebrow are needed. For completely new eyebrows or restoration after severe hair loss, expect 250 to 500 grafts per side.

Eyebrow hairs grow at a very specific, almost horizontal angle. For this reason, only single-hair grafts are used in eyebrow transplants to achieve the finest and most natural result possible. The placement angle is the determining factor for the final result.

The exact number is determined during the consultation based on your facial structure, the desired eyebrow shape and the available donor capacity. We always provide honest and realistic advice.

A skillfully performed eyebrow transplant is indistinguishable from natural eyebrows to the outside world. The key word is placement angle. Eyebrow hairs emerge from the skin at an extremely flat angle — sometimes as little as five degrees. When grafts are placed at the correct angle and in the natural direction of growth, the result aligns perfectly with your facial shape.

We draw the desired eyebrow shape in advance and discuss this with you, taking your facial structure and personal style into account. This way you know exactly what to expect before the treatment begins.

Because the transplanted hairs come from your own head, they have the same colour and thickness. After full recovery — on average twelve months — there is no visible difference whatsoever.

In both cases the technique is FUE: hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor zone and placed at the desired location. The fundamental difference lies in the extreme precision required for eyebrows.

Eyebrow hairs grow at an angle of sometimes just five degrees. This makes placement technically far more demanding than a scalp hair transplant. In addition, only single grafts are used for eyebrows and the treated surface area is considerably smaller, requiring more detailed work per graft.

The recovery period is comparable, but the face is more sensitive than the scalp. Mild swelling around the eyes may occur during the first two to three days and will then subside completely.

In the first few days after the treatment, small scabs are visible around the eyebrows. This is normal and disappears within seven to ten days. Mild swelling around the eyes may occur in the first two to three days but fades quickly.

Between week three and month three, the transplanted hairs will shed. This is the shock loss phase and concerns many patients, but it is a normal and necessary part of the recovery process. The follicles remain intact under the skin and will then begin producing new, permanent hairs.

From month three to four, the first new eyebrow hairs appear. The definitive result with full density and symmetry is visible between months twelve and eighteen. Only then can you fully style and tint the eyebrows as desired.

Yes, but not straight away. In the first two weeks after the treatment, the treated area must not be touched, rubbed or painted. The follicles need time to properly anchor in the skin. Washing is permitted, but exclusively with the supplied special lotion and using gentle patting motions — never rubbing.

Make-up and eyebrow products may only be applied once the scabs have completely disappeared and the skin has healed, which takes an average of two to three weeks. Tinting the eyebrows is only permitted from month two onwards.

Once the new hair growth is fully underway, the transplanted eyebrows behave exactly like natural ones. You can tint them, tweeze along the edges and style them as desired. The transplant places no restrictions whatsoever in the long term.
