An eyebrow hair transplant can be suitable for anyone whose eyebrows are missing or thinning. Sparse eyebrows can have several causes, including:
- Genetics
- Ageing
- Scars from an injury
- Burns
- Alopecia
- Over plucking
The Treatment Rooms London provide an eyebrow hair transplant using the follicular unit excision (FUE) technique. This procedure can rebuild thinning or damaged eyebrows, and create new eyebrows for people with no eyebrow hair, offering a more natural look.
What is an eyebrow hair transplant?
An eyebrow hair transplant transfers hair grafts from the donor area located somewhere on the body, usually above the ears and back of the scalp, to the brow area. The FUE eyebrow transplant procedure works similarly to an FUE hair transplant, relocating individual hair follicles that are extracted using small incisions at the recipient site. Over time, new hairs grow from the grafts, resulting in new, thicker eyebrows.
Although eyebrow hair transplants are a safe and effective solution to combat a lack of eyebrow hair, some people may not be suited to the surgery, including those with conditions such as:
Prior to having an eyebrow transplant, you will attend a consultation with the surgeon to assess your suitability for the treatment.
How does an FUE eyebrow transplant work?
An FUE eyebrow transplant extracts donor hair from the scalp, usually above the ears and back of the scalp. The donor hair is taken as individual hair follicles. Tiny incisions are then made by the surgeon in the brow area, according to the shape and density you wish your new eyebrows to have. This delicate process will also take into account the direction of the new hair. When the new eyebrow area is ready, hair follicles are implanted, typically using a needle with a microscope.
The procedure is carried out after administering local anaesthetic injections, so the patient should feel no discomfort. Small circular scars will be left behind in the donor area, but these will soon become unnoticeable when the surrounding hair grows long. An FUE eyebrow transplant is a minimally invasive- procedure that requires no scalpels and needs no stitches. It can be completed within one session and usually takes around 4 to 6 hours.
Serious side effects from an eyebrow transplant are rare. The most common side effects are mild bruising or swelling which are temporary and self-resolve. In assessing your suitability for the procedure, your surgeon will check your medical history and ask you about any underlying health conditions you may have. You should also disclose any medication or supplements you are taking before the procedure.
Eyebrow transplant before and after
An eyebrow hair transplant is a safe procedure and can provide satisfactory results, such as:
- Restoring over-plucked eyebrows
- Scarred areas where no eyebrow hair previously grew can be filled in
- Providing more definition to your eyebrows
Furthermore, many people find that after an eyebrow hair transplant, they need to use less make-up on their brow region.
Because the results of an eyebrow hair transplant are permanent, you won’t need to spend as long shaping them. This can save you both time and money. It can be a low-maintenance solution for people who previously had their eyebrows threaded regularly.
Eyebrow transplant cost
Eyebrow hair transplants in the UK could cost in the region of £3,000 to £5,000. The price may vary depending on factors like:
- The location of the clinic
- The reputation of the clinic
- The number of hair follicles being relocated
The price of an eyebrow transplant will be disclosed in your consultation with your surgeon, where they will be able to determine how many grafts you will need, which will indicate the cost of your eyebrow transplant.
Eyebrow transplant recovery and aftercare
After an eyebrow transplant, a short recovery period is necessary. You would normally be able to resume normal activities after five to seven days, although vigorous physical activities might need to be avoided for 2 weeks after the procedure to ensure no grafts become loose and fall out. It’s also important to keep the donor and eyebrow areas clean to avoid infection.
After 2-3 weeks, transplanted hairs will typically begin to fall out. This is entirely normal, and your new eyebrows will begin to grow over the next few months, reaching their final results in around a year's time.
There are several aftercare measures that you will be advised on after an eyebrow transplant. Here are some aftercare tips:
- Avoid touching your eyebrows at all during the first 4 after the treatment
- You will be required to spray your eyebrows with a solution we provide for the first 4 days after surgery
- After 4 days, you can wash your face and your eyebrows, but don’t rub yourself dry – gently pat, instead
- If you experience swelling, apply ice above the eyebrows for 20 minutes
- Sleep flat on your back, with your head elevated for the first week after treatment in order to avoid increasing the risk of swelling
- Wear a hat to avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks after the procedure
- Avoid swimming in a pool for 4 weeks after the procedure

LOOK NO FURTHER for your hair restoration needs! The Treatment Rooms London are the BEST IN THE GAME. Dr Fernando and his team gave an EXEMPLARY level of patient care from start to finish. Dr Fernando took the time to meet me personally pre-op, answer all of my questions with clarity and MEDICAL GROUNDING. I was pleasantly surprised at how PAIN FREE the whole procedure was. I did not feel a thing! The only regret I have is not getting it done sooner! If you are considering a hair transplant or are unhappy with thinning, just give The Treatment Rooms a call. You will not regret it!

Honestly, an amazing experience. From the service to the results. I urge you to just book a consultation on zoom with the surgeons and decide for yourselves. And it's free, everyone-else in London charges you for it. The experience was painless, smooth and the end results 12 months in, are just more than I could have imagined. I wanted to share photos to help others in similar situations to me, because seeing photos before my procedure from men with similar hair loss to me, really helped me gain confidence in doing the procedure and in Dr Vara.

The Treatment Rooms London, the best most professional place to go for a your hair transplant. Firstly while searching where to go their website has all the information you need then came back straight away after filling out the online form. Had a virtual appointment within days, a week later went for a consultation in their Putney office where Dr Dilan Fernando went through everything about the procedure & dates available for surgery. All within 2 months have had the transplant & results are looking great within days. Can’t thank the whole team enough, they all make you feel comfortable, very professional & outstanding service. If you wondering where to go for a hair transplant make sure to contact The Treatment Rooms London in Putney as definitely the best. Thankyou again!

I went in for my 12 month review today (couple months overdue) and I couldn't be happier with the results it exceeded all my expectations. I can't thank Dr Fernando, Dr Vara and the entire team of the treatment rooms enough for there professionalism and caring nature. I've looked at many clinics over a good few years and none made me feel more welcome and cared for than the treatment rooms.

I felt compelled to leave a review after just 4 months. After many years of research, deliberation, chats with turkish clinics, UK clinics, Iranian clinics it was The Treatment Rooms london that won me over. I had been using disguise sprays and fibres for years to the point it was ruining my life (couldn’t swim) get caught in rain etc and i really couldn’t see a way out. After research i couldn’t see how this would work. 4 months in and i’m beyond ecstatic, my hair is thick, covering and i’m so so excited. Even after 4 months i would be happy as it is they are that good. My whole frontal area was thin and now after 4 months it’s thick (see images). if i can help anyone make the right decision then i’m happy with that. Trust me, i don’t do things by halves and always look for quality. To say the work is natural
is an understatement. Dr Vara, thank you so so much for changing my life.
