Our eyebrows have different functions: They protect the eye from dirt and sweat and in this way support the eyelashes in their function. However, eyebrows are not only important from an anatomical point of view, but also for facial expressions and gestures: we can express our emotions by raising or drawing our eyebrows together. They are also a factor that defines our individual look and therefore make a decisive contribution to the appearance and aesthetics of the face.
While eyebrows used to be plucked as thinly and precisely as possible, today they can be "a little more". But what if the brows have not grown evenly and there are gaps? An eyebrow transplant can create harmony here. Find out more in this article.
When is an eyebrow transplant necessary?
There are various reasons when an eyebrow transplant makes sense:
- Eyebrow loss
In der Regel wachsen die Augenbrauen zehn Wochen lang und fallen dann aus, um für die neuen Härchen Platz zu machen. Es ist aber möglich, dass dieser Zyklus gestört ist: Durch hormonelle Veränderungen, Funktionsstörungen der Schilddrüse, Stoffwechselerkrankungen, Hauterkrankungen oder Allergien kann es zu einem Ausfall der Brauen kommen. Ebenso können Pilzinfektionen, Vergiftungen, Vitamin- und Nährstoffmangel oder unerwünschte Nebenwirkungen von Medikamenten oder einer Chemotherapie dazu führen, dass die Härchen über dem Auge ausgehen. Stress und psychische Anspannung bedingen häufig ebenfalls den Haarausfall. - Overplucking
Long-term and very intensive plucking of the eyebrows often leads to stagnation of eyebrow growth. This can lead to partial or even complete and permanent loss of the eyebrows. In addition to the natural appearance, the important protective function for the eyes is also lost. This increases the risk of eye diseases. - Congenital sparse eyebrows
Some people also have naturally occurring bald patches or irregular hair growth above the eye. In this case, it is a small hereditary blemish.
Regardless of the reason, an eyebrow transplant can repair, correct, thicken and model defective eyebrows. The procedure can restore a harmonious and aesthetic look.
How does an eyebrow transplant work?
Eyebrow transplants are performed in a similar way to hair transplants using the FUE method.
Im ersten Schritt wird die Form der Brauen besprochen. Nach der Betäubung werden mit einer Hohlnadel einzelne Haare vom Hinterkopf entnommen. Diese werden mit kleinen Schnitten in die Augenbrauen eingepflanzt. Das war es schon!
The transplanted hair usually falls out after about 2 weeks and then starts to grow again after three months. The final result is achieved after around 6 to 12 months.
Current treatment options
Hair transplants and hair implants are no longer offered at the Acuraklinik. Information on the current services available for hair loss can be found at Mesotherapy for hair loss. The suitability of a treatment depends on the individual cause of hair loss.
