Principle

Healthy hair follicles from the occipital region are extracted and transplanted to areas with missing eyebrows.

Micro-needles stimulate blood circulation in eyebrow follicles, activating follicular cell growth.

Follicular units are precisely transplanted to the eyebrow area using advanced microsurgical techniques.

Hair follicles from areas such as the scalp or underarms are transplanted to the eyebrows for natural growth.

Factors Influencing Cost:

① Individual Condition: If a person’s eyebrow condition is relatively good and the procedure is less complex, the cost may be lower. Conversely, if the eyebrow condition is poor and requires a more complex surgical approach, the price may increase.

② Surgeon Expertise: Skilled surgeons who customize eyebrow shapes based on facial structure, personality, and existing eyebrow condition—ensuring both safety and aesthetic results—may charge higher fees. Less experienced surgeons may offer lower prices, but the results may appear less natural.

③ Regional Differences: In first-tier cities, higher medical costs generally lead to higher procedure prices. In second- and third-tier cities, lower medical expenses typically result in lower fees.

When considering an eyebrow transplantation procedure, it is recommended to consult and undergo treatment at reputable, professional cosmetic medical institutions. After surgery, proper post-operative care is essential—avoid getting the area wet too early to prevent complications and support optimal healing.
