Brow restoration

Eyebrow Transplants

Eyebrow transplants rebuild thin, over-plucked or missing brows using your own hair, giving a permanent result that no pencil or semi-permanent treatment can match.

Why brows thin

Why eyebrow hair is lost

Around 4 million people a year face thinning eyebrow hair. The most common cause is over-plucking, thanks to a fashion for very thin brows that nobody realised would cause lasting damage. Repeated plucking scars the follicle until it stops regrowing altogether.

Ageing is the next most common cause, and brows also thin through stress, hormonal changes and thyroid conditions. Others come to us for correction after accidents, burns, injuries or medical treatment such as chemotherapy.

Eyebrow hair loss does not discriminate by gender. Eyebrow transplants have long been popular with women, and we now see a steadily growing number of men having them too.

How eyebrow transplants compare with the alternatives

Semi-permanent options such as micro-blading create a thicker look, but they sit on the skin rather than growing from it. An eyebrow transplant moves living follicles, so the result is real hair with real texture and depth, which is why it is the most natural option available.

Both FUE and FUT can be used, and the choice is largely personal preference. Your consultant will recommend the better route for your case. You can also have a transplant after micro-blading, where the transplant adds genuine texture over a shape you already have.

The procedure is precise work. Every graft has to be placed at the correct angle and direction to follow the natural sweep of a brow, which is where the surgeon's skill matters most.

Recovery is quick. Scabbing lifts within about 4 to 5 days and by around 7 days the brows look close to normal.

Eyebrow transplants at a glance

Success rate

Typically around 90%, slightly lower than scalp work because the graft sites are shallower. Being careful not to touch the area in the first week makes a real difference.

Health checks

If your brow hair was lost completely or very suddenly, we recommend blood tests with your GP first, so any underlying condition can be ruled out before surgery.

Cost

At the lower end of our price list, as fewer grafts are needed, though the skill involved is high. Plans start from around £62 a month.

Treatment time

Roughly 4 to 5 hours depending on whether you need a few gaps filled or a full reconstruction, with recovery of about 10 days.

What it costs

How much does an eyebrow transplant cost?

In the UK an eyebrow transplant usually costs between £2,500 and £5,000. Most people need somewhere between 200 and 500 grafts in total, though that shifts depending on the density and shape you are after, and the honest answer is that nobody can quote you accurately until they have looked at your brows.

What changes the price

Six things move the figure up or down.

How much brow hair needs restoring
Whether one brow or both are treated
The number of grafts required
The experience of the surgeon
Where the clinic is based
Whether a doctor-led team carries it out

What should be included in the price

Ask any clinic exactly what their figure covers before you book, because this varies more than people expect. Ours covers the initial consultation, your personalised brow design, the procedure itself under local anaesthetic, any medication you need on the day, your aftercare, and the follow-up appointments where we check how the brows are settling.

Why the cheapest quote is rarely the best one

Eyebrow work is the most precise thing we do. Every single hair has to be placed at the correct angle, in the correct direction, at the correct density. Get that wrong and the brow grows in a way that looks off, and correcting it is considerably harder than doing it properly the first time. That precision is what you are actually paying for.

Before you commit anywhere, check how much eyebrow work the surgeon has actually done, look at their before and after photographs, read reviews that are not on the clinic's own website, ask exactly what aftercare is included, and get the price in writing with nothing left off it.

Spreading the cost

Treatment can be paid monthly rather than up front, from around £62 a month, and every quote we give carries a price match guarantee. If paying monthly matters to you, say so at your consultation and we will go through the options with you.

The only way to get a figure you can rely on is to have someone assess your brows and tell you how many grafts you actually need. That consultation is free, and there is no obligation attached to it.

    FAQs

    Eyebrow transplants: your questions answered

    Is it more painful than a hair transplant?

    Slightly, because the anaesthetic goes into the forehead rather than the scalp and the skin there is thinner. Patients tend to describe it as more uncomfortable than botox but less than lip fillers. The average pain score is around 5 out of 10, against 3 for a scalp transplant.

    Will the hair grow like eyebrow hair?

    Not at first. Because the hair comes from your scalp it initially grows continuously and needs trimming. Over a few months it gains memory and settles into behaving like brow hair. You also train the direction by brushing with a small tool we provide.

    Is the aftercare different?

    Yes, and it is generally easier than a scalp transplant. You are given a personalised timetable telling you what to do and when, and your patient coordinator is on hand throughout.

    Can I have a transplant if I have had micro-blading?

    Yes. A transplant can be done over micro-blading, adding real texture and depth to the shape you already have.

    How long until it looks normal?

    Eyebrow transplants heal remarkably quickly. Scabbing comes away in about 4 to 5 days, and by 7 days the area looks pretty much back to normal.

    How much does an eyebrow transplant cost in the UK?

    Between roughly £2,500 and £5,000, depending on how much restoring your brows need, whether it is one brow or both, and how many grafts are required. Most people need 200 to 500 grafts. You get an exact figure at your consultation.

    Can I pay monthly for an eyebrow transplant?

    Yes. Treatment can be spread over monthly instalments from around £62 a month, and every quote carries a price match guarantee. Your consultant will go through the plans with you.

    Why do eyebrow transplant prices vary so much between clinics?

    Mostly it comes down to graft numbers, the surgeon's experience with brow work specifically, and what the quote actually includes. Some clinics quote a headline price that excludes the consultation, medication or follow-ups, so always ask what is covered before comparing.

    Free Retreat Or Your Money Back

    It is easy to make bold statements of success and much harder to stand behind them in a fast growing and heavily advertised market. We deal with real problems and appropriate solutions every day, and we have never been afraid of backing up what we claim. We only accept patients we know we can help, and we set expectations we know can be met, which is what allows us to offer a guarantee at all. If we are unable to achieve the treatment plan and the realistic result that goes with it, we will welcome you back and treat you again at no extra cost. That happens rarely. In the event that we cannot retreat you for medical reasons, you receive an appropriate refund instead.

    All Surgical Facilities Are Registered With The Government's CQC (Care Quality Commission)

    Our facilities are a blend of clinical technology and considered design. Our treatment and surgery rooms are designed to combine the latest in science and aesthetics. Our surgery rooms are fully equipped to handle a full day of Microscopic Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation or Follicular Unit Extraction surgery, one patient per room. Each surgery room is adjunct to a row of five to six high definition, optimal resolution microscope stations where technicians cut and sliver a patient's donor strip. No matter which facility you choose for your treatment, our attentive staff and relaxed, contemporary setting helps put patients at ease from the minute they have their hair loss assessment to the moment the surgery is complete.

    Surgeons Who Only Do Hair Restoration

    The physicians at UK Hair perform just one procedure: hair transplantation. They work one-on-one with patients throughout the process and typically prefer to schedule only one procedure a day to give each patient the attention and care they deserve.

    Written Guarantee With Your Treatment

    We advise over 6,000 patients every year. Hair loss and its correction is all we do, which is why we are willing to put our guarantee in writing rather than leave it as something said in a consultation room. Every surgical procedure we carry out comes with a written guarantee that sets out what we have agreed to achieve, and exactly what happens if we do not achieve it.

    We Would Rather Say No Than Get It Wrong

    We stand by our guarantee, but we take no pleasure in retreating patients, because for most people that is an added inconvenience they could do without. We do everything we can to avoid it being necessary, and that starts at the assessment. Only around 40% of the people we assess turn out to be suitable for a hair transplant, and we will say so when surgery is not the right answer. Years of experience mean we can usually spot a potential problem at assessment, and where we do, we say so.
