Why natural eyebrow implantation?

Our eyebrows are one of the most important pillars of our facial beauty and have a great impact on our appearance. A person's eyebrows are even more important than their hair, and there are several reasons for this. First, the eyebrows are located in a more important and central area than the scalp. Second, the task of the eyebrows is to create a frame for the eyes, which are the most important part of the face in appearance. The last point is that thinning and eyebrow hair loss, unlike scalp hair, is not a natural process and therefore is not aesthetically acceptable from the point of view of oneself and others.

Loss or loss of eyebrows can have many causes; Some of them are:

• Thyroid diseases

• General or systemic diseases

Alopecia areata

• Burns

• Tattoos and eyebrows

• Infection

Excessive plucking and removal of eyebrows

Abnormal growth of eyebrows

• People who are inherited and genetically predisposed to losing or losing their eyebrows.

However, the reason for the thinness and loss of your eyebrow hair, whichever is the above, the best way to have thick eyebrows is eyebrow implants. Techniques such as tattoos, eyebrows, eyebrow pencil and other similar methods can improve the appearance of your eyebrows to some extent, but they are not able to create thick and natural eyebrows. In all beautification methods, the naturalness of the results is important for all applicants. This is a topic that can be achieved well in eyebrow implants, and this method will give you thick and natural eyebrows.

Before we get into the topic of eyebrow implants, we need to take a closer look at the morphology and physiology of eyebrows.

Determining the angle and direction of eyebrow growth is very important in eyebrow implantation.

4 important features of eyebrows in natural eyebrow implants

1- For eyebrow hair growth

In general, eyebrows are divided into three parts, which include the head, trunk and tail, which in each part is different for hair growth. In the image below, the red line indicates the "head" section, the blue line indicates the "trunk" and the green line indicates the "tail" of the eyebrows.

Head section: This section is the innermost part of the eyebrows and its length is 5 to 7 mm. The hair in this area grows upwards and is usually thinner and lighter in color. Some eyebrow implant applicants are not interested in filling this area and prefer it to be minimal in thickness.

• Trunk: The central part of the eyebrows, which is about 2.5 cm long, is the densest and widest part of the eyebrows. In the parts of the trunk that are closer to the nose, the hair grows upwards and outwards. Exactly in the middle of the trunk, the angle of the middle layer changes in line with the arch of the eyebrow bone. In the same area, the upper border hairs grow downwards and the lower border hairs grow upwards.

Tail section: 2 cm from the end of the eyebrow from where the eyebrow bend begins to the end is called the tail. This part of the eyebrow has a low density and is covered with thin hair. The tail part usually becomes thinner and less dense with age. The hair in this section grows almost horizontally.

4- Hair growth angle

The second unique feature of eyebrow hair is that the hair strands grow at a large angle to the facial skin to sleep flat on the face. The difference in the angle of growth of eyebrow hair with scalp hair (which usually grows vertically) can be up to 45 degrees. Therefore, in order for the hairs implanted in the eyebrow implant to be at the same angle as the eyebrow hairs, hair strands are used behind the ear that grow at an angle. Also, to better align the growth angle, the follicles are placed at an angle inside the skin, which is one of the difficulties of hair transplantation.

3. Differences in follicular units

Hair on the scalp and various parts of the body usually grows in clusters. That is, there are typically between 1 and 4 hairs per follicular unit. Most of the follicular units in our hair are multi-stranded; Unlike the follicular units of eyebrow hair, which often have only one hair. Therefore, for eyebrow implants, if the follicular units have more than 1 hair, they should be divided into single hairs under a microscope.

4. Growth cycle difference

All of our body hair is constantly growing and falling out. For example, a healthy person is said to lose between 50 and 100 hairs a day in terms of hair loss. This process of growth and loss takes place during a cycle known as the hair growth cycle, which has three stages: the growth or anagen phase, the rest or telogen phase, and the catagen phase.

Eyebrow hair growth cycle is different from scalp hair. In the eyebrow hair growth cycle, the hair follicles are in the anagen phase for 4 months and grow. On the other hand, scalp hair is in the growth stage for 3 to 7 years. This is why scalp hair can grow much longer than other body hair. This may be the only problem with eyebrow implants. Due to the fact that implanted hair grows more than normal eyebrow hair, you should trim and trim the implanted hair as soon as possible.

Different methods of eyebrow implantation

Eyebrow implants, like hair transplants, have different methods for removing grafts, and as you know, implants are done in the same way in all methods, and the only difference between the different methods is in how the grafts are removed.

The first method used for eyebrow implantation is the FUT method. In this method, which is one of the main methods of hair transplantation and eyebrow transplantation, the grafts are removed from the hair bank in the form of a one-centimeter strip with local anesthesia and implanted in the desired area.

The next method of eyebrow implantation is SUT method. In this method, the grafts that are needed for implantation in the eyebrow area are removed individually from the hair bank by the device and are attached to the desired part by designing a form for the eyebrows.

The latest method of hair transplantation, the MICRO FIT method, is also used in eyebrow transplantation and is one of the methods that is becoming more and more popular. In this method, there is no need to shave and shorten the hair in the hair bank, and also the grafts are removed much less and much more delicately, and for this reason, the place of removal and implantation is faced with much less and more limited complications. This is an advantage that encourages many eyebrow and hair transplant enthusiasts to have their surgery this way.

Why eyebrow implants?

The eyebrows are located in the central and important part of the face and have a great impact on the beauty of the face. The effect of eyebrows on revitalizing the face and eyes is enormous. Due to the proximity of the eyes and eyebrows together in the central area of ​​the face, the effect of eyebrows on beauty is not less than the eyes.

Hair loss with different intensities, even the stage of complete baldness is familiar to the eyes of people. It has been observed in many people that despite severe hair loss, they are not sensitive to this issue and are busy with their daily life and activities; But drooping eyebrows is not an accepted and established process and has many psychological effects on the person.

Eyebrows are also made more beautiful by using cosmetic methods such as tattoos, hats or pencils; But the naturalness of the eyebrows is a very important point that can be achieved only in natural eyebrow implants.
