Ten Days after Eyebrow Hair Transplant

Eyebrow hair transplant at US Hair Restoration - Top picture: Ten days after eyebrow transplantation.

I saw a patient who had an eyebrow transplant 10 days ago.  I thought it would be useful for our readers to get an idea of how a transplanted hair ought to appear about 10 days after an eyebrow hair transplantation.

For transplanting to the brow areas, scalp hair is being used. In this particular case, we have used around 600 grafts for both eyebrows (300 for each eyebrow).

After the hair transplant, transplanted hair shafts generally stay in place or may even grow for two weeks, but they almost always fall after the second week. It may take about two to three weeks for the newly transplanted hair to start growing after an eyebrow hair transplant, which is the same length of time as a scalp hair restoration.

After full growth, patients need to keep trimming their transplanted eyebrows because they have the same growth pattern of the scalp hair where they are originally from.

Eyebrow Enhancer Product - Talika

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

Eyebrow RestorationQ:

I have used Talika to restore my eyebrows with not much help.  What do you recommend for eyebrow hair restoration?

A:

Talika and many other agents which increase hair volume can be found in the market as cosmetic products. They do not necessarily enhance the density or the thickness of hair shafts permanently.  Talika is a transparent gel filled with fibers. The fibers act as new eyebrows and stay in place for a full day after a one time application. The eyebrow hair shafts look thicker, which is all some people need to have better-looking eyebrows.

There are no FDA-approved medications that can increase the growth of eyebrows permanently. An eyebrow hair transplant is the only permanent solution to restore a person’s eyebrows. By receiving an eyebrow transplant, patients can expect to have naturally growing hair that is transplanted into the eyebrow area. Hair follicles are taken from the scalp so its growth is similar to scalp hair and needs to be trimmed every few days. The result can be completely natural. People with very little native hair may need more than one eyebrow hair transplant for maximum density.
