Eyebrows are an important aesthetic feature, framing the face and giving the eyes definition. A change in eyebrow thickness or colour can have a dramatic effect on the face’s overall appearance. Whilst thinner eyebrows were once the trend, current fashion styles tend to favour big and bold eyebrows, and this can add to the self-consciousness associated with eyebrow hair loss. Now more than ever, people are seeking fuller and thicker eyebrows to project a more vibrant and youthful look.
Eyebrow hair loss can be temporary or permanent and can be caused by many different conditions. Using advanced and scientifically proven techniques, our clinic offers a variety of treatments to help stimulate hair growth and restore lost volume. Our procedures help patients achieve the hair fullness they desire and reignite confidence in their appearance.

The Symptoms
Hair loss on the eyebrows is often similar to hair loss on the scalp. The hair follicles become weaker and thinner, causing the hairs to become shorter and thinner, or to completely fall out. Eventually, some people may find that their eyebrows do not have the volume they once did, appearing narrower and less prominent on the face. The hairs may appear more fragile, and the underlying skin may be itchy or dry. If you are experiencing these symptoms, you may be an ideal candidate for an eyebrow hair restoration procedure.
Treatment options
A few different treatment options are available for patients concerned about the thinning of their eyebrows. Medications may be beneficial for some people to help give the hair the nutrients it needs to grow healthily. Others may like to pursue more substantial methods such as injectable treatments or hair transplants. Regardless of your desired treatment option, a consultation will be necessary beforehand to discuss your condition, medical history, and goals for your eyebrow treatment. Your hair loss condition and preferences can also be addressed to ensure you are receiving a treatment that best suits you.
Plasma Hair Restoration injections
Platelet-rich plasma therapy is an increasingly popular treatment for people seeking a minimally invasive approach to hair restoration. The process involves extracting a blood sample from the patient, processing the sample to increase the platelet concentration, and injecting the blood into the eyebrow area. This activates healthy systems under the skin and creates healing effects.
Plasma Hair Restoration injections work to strengthen and activate hair follicles in the chosen area to promote healthy hair growth. Patients who undergo this procedure usually experience a noticeable improvement in their eyebrows.
Transplants
A hair transplant involves taking hair from an area with abundant follicles and grafting the hairs to the required area. The aim of an eyebrow hair transplant is to improve the location, shape, and density, of the eyebrow to create the desired fuller look.
We apply the most effective and trusted methods of hair transplantation, using FUE (follicular unit extraction) techniques to extract and implant individual hairs. Hair follicular units are usually taken from the back of the scalp. They are then re-implanted at a very close angle into the eyebrow area to produce a natural effect. By removing hair from areas with more volume and implanting them into areas where they are more needed, patients can achieve the eyebrow thickness and fullness they desire.
Since the procedure requires taking hair from your scalp, your suitability may depend on how much hair you have in that area.
Things to consider
Hair follicles have a natural growth cycle, and for this reason, it may take a few months to see the full results of your eyebrow hair loss procedure. As with any cosmetic medical procedure, both Plasma Hair Restoration and transplants are accompanied by some risks, such as infection, nerve damage, and scar tissue. These side effects are rare, however, and any negative effects of these procedures should subside within a week. Plasma Hair Restoration treatment plans may require a few sessions to achieve the best results.
