With today’s microsurgical hair transplant technologies, eyebrow transplantation is possible. Both men and women with eyebrow loss can have this hair restored. Eyebrow transplantation is minimally invasive, effective, uses natural hair and generally requires only one eyebrow transplantation session. This treatment has recently increased in popularity due to patient satisfaction.
Eyebrow Transplantation Using Follicular Unit Extraction
At DermHair Clinic of Los Angeles, UGraft eyebrow transplantation employs follicular unit extraction with body hair transplantation. Dr. Umar removes follicular units one at a time from the leg, or nape of the neck to get the finest, most natural-looking hair.
Traditional eyebrow transplantation uses donor hair from the mid-back of the head, which produces coarse and unnatural-looking eyebrows. By using thinner, slow-growing hair, Dr Umar’s advanced follicular unit extraction procedure, called UGraft, brings eyebrow transplantation closer than ever to a natural result. With Dr. Umar’s approach, the patient has less need to frequently trim the eyebrow, as would be necessary with the use of traditional donor follicles.
