Eyebrow Hair Transplant A Possible Solution For Thinning Eyebrows
Women have struggled with emaciated eyebrows ever since the likes of Pamela Anderson and Gwen Stefani (circa 1996) trended a mass pandemic of cosmetic over-plucking. Now that full, shapely arches have become the aesthetic standard, ladies of the ‘90's are left wondering how to get their brows back—because, they simply won't grow anymore. TheNew York Times covered the story, with a discussion of three possible solutions: eyebrow pencil, eyebrow tattoos, or eyebrow transplant.
Eyebrow Pencil
Makeup is still a tried and true standard for cosmetic embellishment. For red carpet events, for a special family photo, or for the wedding day, make-up artists abound. However, in daily life, the application of makeup can be daunting, easily adding 15 to 20 minutes to a morning routine. Filling in the eyebrows can take an additional five minutes. That's 1,625 minutes, or 27 hours per year applying eyebrow pencil. More than an entire day!
For the women who don't mind spending this extra time, eyebrow pencil is an excellent solution. It's inexpensive, non-committal, simple, and looks good enough. The New York Times affirms that a fuller brow is only "a few pencil strokes away."
Eyebrow Tattoos
Getting a bit more committed, you have eyebrow tattooing as an option. Eyebrow tattoo artists will find the ink color that best matches your natural hair color. In fact, ink color-grades have improved, of late. With the rising demand for permanent make-up, more "medical grade" ink colors are now available. This creates less discoloration and makes the result appear more natural. Eyebrow tattooing can be costly though. One session can run up to $500 and wears off fairly quickly. Touch-ups are required at least annually.
Eyebrow Hair Transplant
This method of permanently restoring lost eyebrow hair is gaining popularity. Women toting pictures of Brooke Shields and Kim Kardashian are flocking to eyebrow hair transplant clinics in Los Angeles and elsewhere. They are 100% committed and willing to go the distance.
Eyebrow hair transplant using follicular unit extraction (FUE) removes hair one at a time from the nape of the neck or even the legs (depending on the doctor) to implant along the brow bone. FUE eyebrow hair transplant is a safe, minimally invasive microsurgery that takes 4 to 5 hours. However, being the most permanent, natural-looking, and time-saving option, it also costs the most—the price starts at $6,000, The New York Times reports.
Eyebrow hair transplant can also be used as a corrective procedure in the case of a burn, accident, chemotherapy, trichotillomania, or other trauma.
