How to recover the hair of the eyebrows?

Eyebrows are a key element of our face mainly because they give our eyes expressiveness. However, as with the scalp, the hair in that area can fall out and lead to bald spots. When this happens, How can we recover the hair of the eyebrows? We give you all the information in the blog de Hospital Capilar, clinic specialized in medicine and capillary surgeries.

Why do eyebrows fall?

One of the most frequent doubts that comes to mind when we notice the loss of eyebrow hair or the loss of their density is why. Multiple factors influence the loss of density and knowing it is key to knowing how to recover the hair of the eyebrows.

excessive hair removal

Currently es the most common cause of loss of density, especially in women. When we pluck our eyebrows frequently for years, it is possible that the hair does not come out again in those areas where it was incised more. For this reason, it is also important to know how to pluck the eyebrows correctly.

Development of some type of alopecia

there are several types of alopecia that give rise to a total or density loss of hair on the eyebrows, such as alopecia areata or scarring alopecia. The fibrosing frontal alopecia It is one of the best known in these cases.

There are also pathologies such as hypothyroidism that can be the cause of the loss of density in the eyebrows, which can be reversible or irreversible depending on each particular case.

Scars

Any type of scar on the eyebrow can lead to a irreversible loss of hair in the area, due to the appearance of fibrosis in the healing process after skin injury.

Age

The passing of the years, as it happens with the rest of the hair, can be the cause of a lack of density and quality of it. This occurs propitiated by the natural process of aging of the tissues.

How to recover the hair of the eyebrows?

Currently, we can simulate the hair of the eyebrows with aesthetic treatments such as microblading or with the makeup itself. However, the only method with which the hair can be recovered is the eyebrow graft.

The eyebrow implant is a minimally invasive outpatient intervention increasingly demanded by men and women due to the natural results it offers. It does not require general anesthesia, only local, so the patient can return to their normal routine in a few days after surgery, maintaining the guidelines provided by the medical team.

What are the steps that are carried out in an eyebrow graft? We tell you!

Eyebrow design

The first thing that is carried out in an eyebrow graft is the design of the area to be treated based on the tastes and expectations of the patient, and also on the medical criteria.

Shaving of the donor area

Once the design has been agreed upon, the donor area is shaved, that is, the lower part of the neck. Only a kind of small window is shaved that goes unnoticed with the hair's own length.

Application of local anesthesia

Local anesthesia is used both in the eyebrows and in the area where the follicular units are to be extracted. This is usually the most annoying phase of the process and, therefore, in Hospital Capilar we have a pre-anesthesia service with which we managed to reduce the pain of the anesthesia itself.

Follicular unit extraction

Once the anesthesia is applied, the next phase is the extraction of the follicular units necessary to cover the area of ​​the eyebrows to be treated. This is done through a punch with micromotor with which the follicular units containing a single hair are extracted one by one. As they are extracted, they are placed in Petri dishes for better conservation.

Making the incisions

The surgeon in charge of the intervention makes the incisions in the eyebrows respecting the natural direction of the hair and the previously agreed design. This precision exercise is carried out with a sapphire-tipped scalpel.

Implantation of follicular units

The last step of an eyebrow graft is the implantation of the follicular units. One by one they are introduced into the small holes previously made. Once the implantation is finished, the surgery is finished and the procedure begins. postoperative of an eyebrow graft.
