Eyebrow transplants are used for over-plucked, scarred, post-tattoo thinning or naturally sparse brows. Brow hairs change direction — upward at the head, sideways in the body and downward at the tail — and a natural look depends on reproducing this.

Who is it for?
- People with sparse or gapped brows
- Those with scar areas where brow hair does not grow
- Those who want to permanently complete their brow shape
How is it done?
- Drawing the brow shape together, to facial proportions.
- Harvesting fine single-hair grafts from the nape (usually 200–500 per brow).
- Opening very acute-angled channels following natural direction.
- Placing the grafts one by one.
Recovery
- Small crusts shed within 5–7 days.
- Transplanted hairs keep growing like scalp hair and need regular trimming.
- The look settles within 6–10 months.
Limits and risks
- Permanent make-up pigment may complicate placement.
- Hair calibre and colour may differ from native brow hair.
Frequently asked
Will I need to trim my transplanted brows?
Yes. Because the hairs come from the scalp they keep growing; trimming every 2–3 weeks is usually enough.
