Hair thinning and loss across the scalp is a common affliction that impacts most of us, and only increases with age. Losing our hair can impact us mentally and emotionally, which can lead to depression, anxiety, and avoiding social situations. This is not strictly limited to hair loss of the scalp, however.
Eyebrow hair loss has a similar impact on us mentally and emotionally. Our eyebrows are a prominent feature of our face, and patchy or missing eyebrows can lead to self-consciousness that is not as easy to hide. This kind of hair loss can be caused by several factors – including skin conditions, medications, or autoimmune diseases.
Thankfully, eyebrow transplants have become more advanced and more affordable in recent years. But do they provide a natural look?
Do Eyebrow Transplants Look Natural?
Eyebrow hair transplants look natural because they utilize the same sophisticated hair transplant methods that we use on the scalp. Sometimes that’s the follicular unit excision (FUE) hair method, which transplants one hair follicle at a time. More commonly we use linear strip excision (LSE), which removes a small piece of scalp from the head, extracts the individual hair follicles from it, and transplants them individually to carefully fill in the patchy areas of the eyebrows with your own hair follicles.
Other techniques (such as microblading) tattoo the area and make the eyebrow appear fuller from a distance but cannot fully replicate the natural look of your own hair. And, if you were curious to know, you do not have to shave your eyebrows prior to an eyebrow transplant procedure.
What Is the Success Rate of Eyebrow Hair Transplants?
Success rates of eyebrow hair transplants are very high. This is, in part, because hair restoration specialists will evaluate those interested in the procedure to ensure that they are prime candidates for it. Studies have shown that many of those seeking eyebrow hair transplants can achieve the look they are striving for in two sittings – with a very small number achieving it in just one. The actual number of sessions to achieve the desired look would be determined by the hair restoration specialist.
How Long Do Eyebrow Transplants Last?
Eyebrow transplants last for years to come… and can even last a lifetime. While other procedures, such as microblading, have a ceiling of lasting only a few years – which is often the floor for eyebrow hair transplants.
