Eyebrow implantation
Eyebrow implantation
Everything you need to know
Thick, well-shaped eyebrows are main characteristic of harmony, symmetry and youthfulness of the faceWhen eyebrows do not have a clear shape and do not appear defined, they often give a look of insecurity and uncertainty.
Eyebrow implantation is the only treatment that can enhance the density of your eyebrows and improve their shape in a 100% natural way. It is the most advanced medical method aimed at those who have very sparse or weakened eyebrows. With the modern eyebrow implantation method, we can redesign the shape, angle, arch and thickness of the eyebrows, always in harmony with your other features, thus highlighting the look and expressiveness of your face.
The advantages of Eyebrow Implantation
The advanced FUE technique has made the eyebrow implantation method a painless, microsurgical procedure, which leaves no scars or marks on the scalp or eyebrow area, nor does it entail any discomfort for the patient.
When is eyebrow implantation necessary?
Eyebrow implantation can be judged necessary for both aesthetic and restorative purposes. The ideal shape and size of eyebrows has changed many times throughout history. In Ancient Greece and Ancient Egypt, women kept their eyebrows thick, and in many cases even adopted a single eyebrow, avoiding plucking their middle eyebrow. Women of the Middle Ages, on the other hand, preferred very thin eyebrows, which were very popular in the 1920s and for several decades after.
In recent years, however, more intense, fuller eyebrows have returned to fashion, which is a symbol of femininity and an element of intense expressivenessIn many cases, however, either due to heredity, previous intensive hair removal with tweezers, or due to an injury or burn, the eyebrows may be sparse and weakened. The eyebrow implantation method can emphasize their size, shape, and density, giving you a spectacular result.
How is eyebrow implantation performed?
Eyebrow implantation applied with the advanced FUE method (Follicular Unit Extraction), which is the most modern method of hair transplantation and is performed without pain, without incisions, without scars. For the restoration of eyebrow hair growth, Hair follicles are taken from the back of the scalp which have exactly the same characteristics as the hair follicles of the eyebrows, and are implanted in the eyebrow area. The hair follicles are selected based on the color, thickness and number of hairs they carry, in order to provide a uniform natural result. They are extracted one by one from the donor area of the head and are also implanted one by one at the appropriate depth and with the appropriate angle and direction, following the natural shape of the eyebrows.
The modern eyebrow implantation method is the only one that can offer permanent and completely satisfactory results, as corrects the shape and density of eyebrows in a three-dimensional way, and not just two-dimensionally as, for example, eyebrow tattooing or the semi-permanent makeup method microblading does.
Suitable candidates for eyebrow transplantation
Eyebrow implantation is an ideal treatment for cases where eyebrows are very thin, sparse, weak or weakened by:
How we achieve an excellent result
Symmetry and harmony
Eyebrow symmetry is key to a beautiful, natural result. We therefore place great emphasis on their proper design so that they harmoniously frame the eyes and face and enhance our expressiveness.
Hair direction
The direction of the hair is extremely important in eyebrow implantation. As eyebrows consist of hairs growing in different directions in a very small space, it is of utmost importance that the placement technique follows the natural angles of hair growth.
Single-hair follicles
The hair follicles that are transplanted in eyebrow implantation are primarily single-hair, meaning they only carry one hair each, in order to offer a distinctively rich result, since eyebrows are naturally composed of single-hair hair follicles.
Microscopic tools
The tools for eyebrow implantation have a diameter of less than one millimeter (0.8mm to be precise). They do not injure either the donor or the recipient area, and allow very precise movements in the placement of the hair follicles, as well as their implantation at very close distances, in order to achieve a dense result.
The 3 stages of eyebrow implantation
Stage 1: Study and design
The doctor examines the condition of the hair follicles in the donor and recipient areas, followed by a detailed discussion of the patient's needs and expectations. eyebrow shape is determined during a detailed study of the entire face, so that the final result is symmetrical and harmonious in relation to the other features.
Stage 2: Hair follicle extraction
In the first phase of surgery, the necessary number of hair follicles is extracted from the occipitotemporal region of the scalp. Unlike hair transplantation, which requires shaving the entire head, eyebrow transplantation it is enough to trim a few small areas, which are not visible especially if you have long hair (unshaven technique). Before the extraction of the hair follicles, local anesthesia is applied to the donor area. Until the next step of implanting the grafts, the hair follicles are kept in a special solution that ensures their survival.
Stage 3: Hair follicle implantation
After the extraction of the hair follicles is complete, the second phase of the transplant follows. After applying local anesthesia to the recipient area, the doctor proceeds with the implantation of the grafts. restoring hair growth to each eyebrow in turnThe implantation is carried out with the special Implanter Pen, with which the hair follicles are inserted in one movement into their new position, without first opening a hole with a scalpel. The hair follicles are always implanted at the appropriate depth and at the appropriate angle to achieve a completely natural result.

How long does eyebrow implantation take?
The duration of the treatment depends on the number of hair follicles needed for an excellent result. In general, it takes about 4-5 hours, as it is always preceded by a detailed design of the size, arch, angle and symmetry of the two eyebrows, always in relation to the eyes and in complete harmony with the rest of the facial features.
How many hair follicles are needed for eyebrow transplantation?
The number of hair follicles depends on the coverage needs of the area. On average, 300 hair follicles are needed to increase the size and density of each eyebrow. Single-hair follicles are mainly used in eyebrow transplantation, and a few double-hair follicles are used in areas where intense density is required, as more hairy hair follicles give an unnatural result in that area. In contrast to hair transplantation, where hairy hair follicles are valuable as they offer significant density, in the eyebrow area they cause an exaggerated and coarse result. Aiming for a natural result, hair follicles in eyebrow transplantation are usually taken from the occipitotemporal area, where more single-hair follicles are found.
When are the results of eyebrow implantation visible?
Eyebrow regrowth is a gradual process that is completed approximately one year after the transplant. You will need to be patient during this time, as eyebrow regrowth goes through the same stages as hair regrowth in a hair transplant, respectively. Approximately 3 weeks after eyebrow transplantation, the hairs fall out due to the shock that the hair follicles have received during their transfer process. Around the 2nd-3rd month, the hairs begin to regrow and grow back naturally until they reach their final volume and size. Around the 6th-8th month, you can see a significant part of the result, which is completed around the year. Eyebrow transplantation is the only method that can provide a natural three-dimensional result, which is also permanent!
Does eyebrow implantation hurt?
Eyebrow transplantation is a painless procedure for the patient, as local anesthetic is injected into both the area from which the hair follicles are taken (donor area) and the area of the eyebrows where they are implanted (recipient area).
How soon can I return to work?
Generally, you can return to work after 2-3 days. However, you may want to wait up to 5-7 days for the area to heal and for any signs of the procedure to completely disappear.
Do new eyebrows require special care?
The new eyebrows do not require any special care, as they are your own natural hair, which you can wet, wash and soap normally. Also, if you wish, you can dye them. The only care they need is trimming them whenever they become long enough. As they are hair follicles taken from the scalp, the hairs are genetically programmed to grow long, a characteristic that they maintain in their new position in the eyebrow area. They usually need a little trimming once a month.
Does eyebrow implantation leave scars?
The modern FUE method excels precisely in the fact that hair follicles are taken one by one from the scalp and also placed one by one in the eyebrow areas to restore the lost density. Both the extraction process and the placement process are carried out with microscopic tools that do not injure the skin and allow for rapid healing.
In which cases is eyebrow implantation contraindicated?
Eyebrow transplantation cannot be applied to patients suffering from cicatricial alopecia, autoimmune form of alopecia (alopecia areata), uncontrolled trichotillomania or a very poor donor area that does not offer sufficient grafts.
