What is an Eyebrow Transplant?

You will experience some redness after the procedure.  The hair follicles taken from the occipital zone are so fine and small that scabs are smaller than a flake of pepper. These scabs will form and remain for about 5 days until they start to fall off.  By the 10th day the scabs will be completely gone.

Our doctors use a mild local anesthesia so you should feel very little discomfort during the procedure.  Afterwards, you will be prescribed a pain killer for discomfort in the harvesting area, however, many patients simply use Tylenol instead.

Yes, because the hair comes from the safe donor area the hairs maintain that same permanent genetic code. However continual plucking can lead to these hairs being killed over time.  The only factor you should be aware of is that unlike eyebrow hair, harvested hair from your head will retain its genetic characteristics and continue to grow.  This means that it will need to be trimmed periodically.

We can only speak for the doctors here at PAI / We Grow Hair.  Just like a traditional hair transplant, an eyebrow transplant requires the artistic skill of a well trained surgeon.  Angle,  direction and placement is extremely important in an eyebrow transplant.  When done correctly, the newly transplanted hair in your eyebrows looks completely natural.  Ten days after the procedure, no one will ever know you had it done.

For eyebrow transplants we typically advise that you take off the day of the procedure and the following day unless you have a very physically strenuous job. An eyebrow transplant is very undetectable even in the first few days.

Results from an eyebrow transplant can be seen as early as 2 or 3 months!
