The Techniques of Eyebrow Transplant Operation

There are three main hair transplant techniques available today: DHI, FUT, FUE and its derivative; Manual FUE, Sapphire FUE, Gold FUE, Micro FUE, Perkutan (Percutaneous FUE), Hyper FUE, Soft FUE, etc.

​

FUE​

FUE is the common technique for eyebrow transplant nowadays, as it allows for transplantation of the maximum number of grafts. FUE is an excellent all-round technique as it is suitable for the majority of patients. FUE involves extracting individual grafts from the donor area before opening microchannels in the transplanted area and placing the grafts in these channels. The advantage of extracting the grafts individually is that this leaves minimal scarring and leads to a swift recovery time.

​

DHI​

DHI is a good technique for creating density in smaller area and is particularly useful for those seeking a minimal or partial transplant. It involves using an implanter pen to open the channels and position the extracted grafts in one movement. DHI has a faster recovery time than ‘Classic’ FUE but it can only be used for smaller quantities of grafts as it is more time-consuming.

​

FUT​

FUT is an older eyebrow transplant technique which has now been surpassed by newer methods. It involves harvesting an entire strip of skin from the scalp and dividing this up to obtain individual follicular units, before implanting these in the channel in the recipient area. FUT offers the highest overall rate of graft survival but its downsides are a more painful and complex operation, a slower recovery time and permanent linear scarring, meaning that it is not commonly used now.

How do I Know the Best Technique for Me?​

The best course of treatment will depend on the patient and factors such as his age, the extent of his hair loss, the number of grafts to be transplanted, his hair and skin type and more.

How Long does it take to heal?​

Eyebrow transplants heal remarkably quick. It takes around 4-5 days for scabbing to come off and by 7 days it looks pretty much back to normal. The hairs will be quite coarse and stubbly to start with but this changes of the first 6 months.
