An eyebrow transplant is a cosmetic procedure that involves transferring hair grafts to your brow area. its goal is that new hairs will grow from these grafts, producing a fuller look.
The procedure is the same as a traditional hair transplant, but more delicate. As the surgeon should select fine hair follicles to give a more natural look.
Firstly, the surgeon will trace the shape of the new eyebrow as desired by the patient. Then, he will shave a small part of the donor area (the back of the head) to extract the hair grafts. Using micro motor punch for extracting hair leaves no scars and prevent scalp and hair damage.
Secondly, the surgeon will open micro incisions into the eyebrow using a tiny slits or sapphire pen. Respecting existing hair growth direction and angle gives a natural looking result. But, if DHI Choi pen technique is used there is no need for this step as the Choi pen opens and insert at the same time.
In the last step, the surgeon will insert the harvested hair follicles into the incisions.
