Eyebrow Transplant
Eyebrow Transplant İstanbul
Eyebrow transplantation is a permanent hair restoration procedure designed to address sparse or thinning eyebrows. This aesthetic treatment has gained popularity among both women and men, as eyebrows play a vital role in facial harmony. The shape of the eyebrows significantly contributes to facial symmetry and expression, making eyebrow transplantation one of the most impactful procedures in facial aesthetics. Thinning or sparse eyebrows can result from various factors, including hormonal imbalances, genetics, aging, improper cosmetic procedures, injuries, or chronic medical conditions.

Why Do Eyebrows Fall Out?
- Improper cosmetic procedures, such as microblading or tattooing.
- Natural aging, which can cause hair thinning over time.
- Hormonal fluctuations, particularly during significant life stages.
- Pregnancy and menopause, which often disrupt hormone levels.
- Vitamin deficiencies, including low levels of biotin, keratin, and zinc.
- ron deficiency anemia, which can weaken hair growth.
- Thyroid disorders, such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
- Chemotherapy treatments, which frequently cause hair loss.
- Alopecia (ringworm), a condition that affects hair follicles.
- Trauma or scarring, from accidents, burns, or injuries.
- Genetic factors, which can predispose individuals to thinning eyebrows.
What Are the Methods Used in Eyebrow Transplantation?
FUE Method (Follicular Unit Extraction):
The FUE method involves extracting hair follicles from the nape of the neck using a micromotor and transplanting them into the eyebrow area through small channels. However, this technique is not suitable for eyebrow transplantation because the extracted hair follicles typically contain 3–4 hairs per graft. As these thicker grafts grow, they produce an uneven, unnatural appearance
DHI Method (Direct Hair Implantation)
The DHI method uses the same extraction technique as FUE but employs a different implantation process. Despite this variation, the method produces similar results to FUE because the hair follicles are not individually separated. This leads to an unnatural appearance, making it unsuitable for eyebrow transplantation.
LOFT technique
Developed and patented by Dr. Said Sadiki, is an advanced method specifically designed for eyebrow transplantation. In this technique, hair follicles are individually extracted and carefully separated under a microscope, ensuring that each graft contains a single hair. This precise approach allows the transplanted hairs to grow in a natural direction and angle, resulting in a more defined and aesthetically pleasing appearance. The LOFT technique is recognized as the most effective and successful method for eyebrow transplantation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Eyebrow Transplantation
Eyebrow loss can occur due to genetics, over-plucking, aging, hormonal imbalances, medical conditions (such as alopecia or thyroid disorders), nutrient deficiencies, or trauma (like burns or scars). Identifying the cause helps determine the best treatment.
- FUE Method (Follicular Unit Extraction)
The FUE method involves extracting hair follicles from the nape of the neck using a micromotor and transplanting them into the eyebrow area through small channels. However, this technique is not suitable for eyebrow transplantation because the extracted hair follicles typically contain 3–4 hairs per graft. As these thicker grafts grow, they produce an uneven, unnatural appearance, with hairs growing in different directions.
- DHI Method (Direct Hair Implantation)
The DHI method uses the same extraction technique as FUE but employs a different implantation process. Despite this variation, the method produces similar results to FUE because the hair follicles are not individually separated. This leads to an unnatural appearance, making it unsuitable for eyebrow transplantation.

- Extracting fine, single-hair follicles from the nape of the neck.
- Preparing the recipient area with precise, angled incisions that follow natural eyebrow growth patterns.
- Implanting follicles with high precision to ensure smooth, dense, and natural-looking results.
- Higher density & precision: Ensures natural-looking, fuller eyebrows with seamless integration.
- Improved hair direction: Hairs are implanted at the correct angle, mimicking natural eyebrow growth.
- Minimal trauma & faster healing: The advanced technique reduces scabbing and speeds up recovery.
- More natural results: Unlike older techniques, LOFT prevents an artificial, “planted” look.
The procedure typically takes between 5 to 6 hours, depending on the number of grafts needed and the complexity of the design. Since it’s a meticulous process requiring precise follicle placement, the duration may vary for each individual.
You may take a gentle body rinse 24 hours after the procedure, but only if you can completely avoid contact with your eyebrows and the donor area at the back of your head. If this cannot be ensured, it is recommended to wait at least three days before showering. Follow your specialist’s washing instructions carefully to support proper healing.
Anyone experiencing thinning or loss of eyebrows due to genetics, over-plucking, aging, medical conditions, or trauma may be a good candidate. A consultation is necessary to assess hair quality, donor area suitability, and desired results.
Yes, shock loss is common within the first few weeks after the procedure. This is a temporary phase, and new hairs start growing in 3-4 months. Once fully grown, the transplanted hairs are permanent and do not fall out under normal conditions.
Transplanted hairs may shed within the first few weeks—this is a normal phase. New growth starts around three months, with visible improvements by six months. Full results, including natural thickness and integration, appear within 6 to 12 months.
Yes, at first, transplanted hairs grow at the same rate as scalp hair (approximately 1 cm per month). However, within 6-12 months, they adjust to the natural eyebrow growth cycle, slowing down to 1-2 mm per month. Regular trimming may be needed initially.
Eyebrow transplantation is a safe and minimally invasive procedure when performed by an experienced specialist. Possible side effects include temporary redness, swelling, itching, or mild discomfort, which typically subside within a few days
If you wish to dye your eyebrows, you have to wait six months and at least one month to dye your hair (without the dye touching the incision site directly). This prevents irritation and ensures the hairs have fully adapted.
- Avoiding touching, rubbing, or scratching the area.
- Keeping the area clean and moisturized as instructed.
- Avoiding direct sun exposure for at least two weeks.
- Following proper washing techniques recommended by our clinic.
