Long Hair FUE Eyebrow Transplant is a new-generation eyebrow transplant method and a special follicle implantation technique that gives the brow area a natural, personalised look.
In the procedure, follicles taken from the person's own scalp are transferred to the eyebrow area. The follicles are placed permanently in their new location and continue to grow in the eyebrow area over time.
With the Long Hair FUE technique, hairs are taken one by one with the FUE method without shaving, keeping their current length. This also makes it an option for people who want an unshaven eyebrow transplant. During the procedure, the direction and length of the follicles can be seen, so the brow design can be applied in a more controlled way.
How Is Long Hair FUE Eyebrow Transplant Performed?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. Before starting, a personalised brow design is created by assessing the face structure, the shape of the existing brows and the patient's expectations.
The start and end points of the brows, the arch, the density and the natural direction of the follicles are determined.
In the Long Hair FUE technique the hair is not shaved. Follicles are taken one by one with the FUE method while keeping their current length, and are prepared to suit the brow structure.
Creating Micro Channels with Micro Needles
Unlike the channel-opening method used in classic Sapphire FUE, Long Hair FUE Eyebrow Transplant uses micro needles to create micro channels of minimal width.
Each micro channel is planned according to the natural exit direction and angle of the follicle to be implanted.
The natural direction of the follicles is not the same at every point of the brow. The head, the middle, the arch and the tail of the brow have different directions and angles. For this reason, the micro channels are also created to suit the natural structure of the brow.
Placing the Follicles One by One
The prepared follicles are placed one by one, at the correct angle, into the micro channels.
The direction and angle of each follicle is determined according to the natural hair direction in that part of the brow. This way the implanted follicles are intended to grow in harmony with the existing brows and create a natural look.
After the Procedure
When the procedure is complete, the long implanted hairs can be seen on the same day. This means the fullness and overall shape of the brows can be seen right after the procedure, and small changes the person wishes can be made during the procedure.
In the early period the implanted follicles keep growing because they have the structure of scalp hair. For this reason they need to be trimmed at regular intervals and shaped to the brow form.
Over time the implanted follicles adapt to the eyebrow area and continue to grow in their new location.
Long Hair FUE is a permanent eyebrow transplant method in which the person's own follicles are transferred.
Healing and Aftercare
After a Long Hair FUE Eyebrow Transplant there is a healing period of about 1 week.
In the first days, mild redness, sensitivity and swelling may be seen in the brow area. These effects vary from person to person.
The first wash starts on day 3. From the third day, the special care products and washing method recommended by our clinic are used.
The care and washing routine continues for about 1 week according to the instructions given.
Shock Loss and New Brow Growth
Seeing the long implanted hairs immediately after the procedure does not mean that this is the final result.
Shock loss may occur within the first 10–15 days. During this period the visible hairs may fall out, but the follicles remain under the skin.
New hairs start to grow at around the 3rd month. In the following months they continue to grow, thicken and adapt to the brow area.
The final result usually appears within 6–8 months. The time it takes varies from person to person.
Who Is It Suitable For?
Long Hair FUE Eyebrow Transplant can be applied to address different brow problems in women and men.
- People with thinning or gaps in their brows
- People who want fuller-looking brows
- People unhappy with the shape or look of their brows
- People unhappy with their microblading
- People who want to change the look of old microblading or permanent make-up
- People who have lost brow hair due to surgery, trauma or similar causes
- People who want to recreate or change their brow shape
However, in Long Hair FUE Eyebrow Transplant not only the recipient area but also the characteristics of the donor hair matter.
The compatibility of the donor hair with the brow, the thickness, structure, direction and colour of the hair, and any greying are assessed.
Whether the follicles will create a natural look in the brow area is considered in the pre-procedure assessment.
For this reason the same plan is not used for every patient; the assessment is based on the person's existing hair and brow structure.
Personalised Brow Design
As one of the new-generation eyebrow transplant methods, Long Hair FUE Eyebrow Transplant is based on personalised design rather than a standard brow shape. The design is planned according to the person's face structure, existing brows and expectations.
The start and end points of the brows, the arch, the density and the direction of the follicles are determined.
The direction and angle of the micro channels are also planned according to this design.
The aim is not only to fill gaps but to create a natural-looking, permanent brow shape that suits the face.
Why Is Long Hair FUE Eyebrow Transplant a Special Procedure?
Long Hair FUE Eyebrow Transplant is a special procedure that requires high technical precision and an experienced team. Taking the follicles at their long length, creating the micro channels and placing each follicle at the correct angle and direction demand a high level of care and experience.
That is why Long Hair FUE Eyebrow Transplant is not a procedure that can be carried out with a standard hair transplant approach. A natural result requires correct planning, a special technique and a team experienced in this field.
With our team experienced in Long Hair FUE Eyebrow Transplant in İzmir, we carry out personalised planning and the procedure with great care. As Nilhair, our aim is to give every patient a natural-looking result that suits their own face and brow structure.
