Eyebrow transplant
An eyebrow transplant places single-hair grafts from the back of the scalp into sparse or empty brow areas. Brow hairs grow at a very flat angle and in directions that change along the brow, so drawing and angle control are the result itself.

Frequently asked questions
Will transplanted brows keep growing?
Hairs from the scalp keep the characteristics of scalp hair and grow, so they need trimming every few weeks.
Is an eyebrow transplant permanent?
Yes, the transplanted grafts are permanent.
How many grafts will I need?
Filling a patch needs fewer, a full brow design needs more. The exact number is set after drawing and examination.
