Introduction

Eyelash transplantation is generally divided into three types: single-follicle unit transplantation, multiple-follicle unit transplantation, and crust-free eyelash transplantation. The corresponding prices are as follows: single-follicle unit transplantation costs 3,000–10,000 yuan per session; multiple-follicle unit transplantation costs 2,000–8,000 yuan per session; and crust-free eyelash transplantation costs 8,000–20,000 yuan per session.

Lash transplantation is generally divided into three surgical methods: single-follicle unit transplantation, multiple-follicle unit transplantation, and crust-free lash transplantation. The corresponding prices are as follows: single-follicle unit transplantation costs 3,000–10,000 yuan per session; multiple-follicle unit transplantation costs 2,000–8,000 yuan per session; and crust-free lash transplantation costs 8,000–20,000 yuan per session. Factors influencing the cost of lash transplantation include donor follicle site, number of follicular units, surgeon's expertise, and regional factors.

Reference for different lash transplantation techniques and their costs:

Comparison Item / Procedure	Single-Follicle Unit Transplantation	Multiple-Follicle Unit Transplantation	Crust-Free Lash Transplantation
Image Example
Reference Price	3,000–10,000 yuan/session	2,000–8,000 yuan/session	8,000–20,000 yuan/session
Principle of Procedure	Extract individual hair follicles from the occipital region and transplant them to the eyelid margin where lashes grow	Extract tissue blocks containing multiple follicles from the occipital region, process simply, then transplant to the lash area	Utilize special techniques and instruments during follicle extraction and transplantation to minimize damage to surrounding tissues and prevent scab formation
Target Population	Suitable for individuals with sparse, short lashes or those who have lost lashes due to trauma or medical conditions	Ideal for people with extremely sparse lashes who do not require high precision in lash appearance	Suitable for individuals with very high expectations for surgical outcomes and postoperative recovery quality
Recovery Period	1–7 days	1–7 days	1–3 days
Duration of Results	1–3 months	1–3 months	2–3 months
Risks	1. Low follicle survival rate 2. Risk of infection	1. Poor lash appearance 2. Follicle damage	1. May affect normal eye function 2. Suboptimal lash growth

Factors affecting price:

1. **Donor Follicle Site**: Using one’s own occipital follicles for transplantation is relatively less expensive, whereas synthetic artificial follicles involve higher production costs and thus command a higher price.

2. **Number of Follicular Units**: The greater the number of lashes being transplanted, the higher the cost. The number of follicular units directly affects surgery duration, complexity, and follicle harvesting costs.

3. **Surgeon’s Skill Level**: Surgeons with extensive experience and advanced technical skills typically charge more than average practitioners.

4. **Regional Factors**: In economically developed regions, higher living and consumer costs lead to increased prices for lash transplantation services.

Before undergoing lash transplantation, ensure your eyes are healthy and free from inflammation or other issues. It is recommended to choose a reputable medical facility and an experienced, qualified physician, understand the transplantation technique thoroughly, and select the most suitable method. After surgery, maintain proper eye hygiene and avoid rubbing the eyes. Potential risks include infection, lash shedding, and abnormal growth—seek medical attention promptly if any discomfort occurs.

How much does eyelash transplantation usually cost?

Under normal circumstances, eyelash implantation is a cosmetic procedure that surgically transplants healthy hair follicles to the eyelash area to increase lash length, density, and curl, thereby improving the aesthetics of the eyes. The cost of eyelash implantation ranges from 300 to 8000 yuan. The specific price is influenced by factors such as the material of the eyelashes, implantation method, density and length of implantation, service content, and regional economic level.
