Eyebrow Transplant Cardiff
If you’re suffering from hair loss on your eyebrows, then you may be eligible for an eyebrow transplant at our Cardiff clinic. On this page, you will find everything you need to know about an eyebrow transplant, namely: procedure, aftercare, cost, and our Cardiff surgical team.
Overview:
At Hair Transplant Cardiff, we provide eyebrow transplants for male and female patients. An eyebrow transplant is a minimally invasive procedure and can be performed using the DHI or FUE method. It usually takes between 2-5 hours to complete. The price of an eyebrow transplant ranges from £3,000 – £5,000.

What is an Eyebrow Transplant?
In the UK, we’re always concerned about our appearance. We’re always thinking about the finer details of how we look. If a person has naturally thin, or patchy eyebrows, then this can begin to lower a person’s self-confidence.
Eyebrow transplants are used to enable patients to regain their natural-looking eyebrows, after suffering from eyebrow hair loss. The procedure is suitable for men and women but is more popular with the latter than the former.
Often, the eyebrow transplant is an option for patients who have been consistently overplucking their eyebrows, suffered an accident that has left a scar, or has always had naturally thin eyebrows.
During the procedure, hair follicles are taken from your donor area (back and sides of your head) and implanted into your recipient area (in this case, your eyebrows). Eyebrow transplants usually take between 2-5 hours to complete and you should have your final result around 9-12 months.
Eyebrow Hair Transplant Results
Are you wondering how an eyebrow transplant will look on you? Well, why not have a look at how eyebrow restoration looks on some of our previous patients:
As you can see, this patient came to us having thin eyebrows due to micro blading. In an attempt to find a permanent solution for her hair loss, she came to us looking for more natural eyebrows. As you can see from the image above, we were able to thicken up the eyebrow area with new hair.
How Does an Eyebrow Transplant Surgery Work?
As stated above, the beard transplant uses the same method as a typical hair transplant. This surgical method is called Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) or Direct Hair Implantation (DHI). Both of the procedures here take donor hair follicles individually from the donor area and implant these, one by one into the recipient site (eyebrow). However, as FUE tends to be the most popular option for an eyebrow transplant, we’ll tell you how this method works!
Before the day of your eyebrow transplant surgery, you will meet one of our GMC-registered surgeons and have a consultation with them. This can be conducted over video call or at the Cardiff clinic. During the consult, you can discuss your aims and expectations about how you want your eyebrows to look. From here, we will develop a treatment plan for you.
On the day of your procedure, you will have another short consultation at the Cardiff clinic with your surgeon. This is where we will map out your recipient site and begin your procedure can begin.
During the procedure, you will be given local anaesthetic, not general anaesthetic. You will be awake during the procedure, but will not be able to feel the transplant. We usually recommend you bring a book, tablet, or iPad with you to pass the time.
The FUE eyebrow hair transplant is split into a number of different phases:
- Extraction Phase – during this phase, the surgeon and the surgical team will begin to extract grafts from your donor area. Whilst the surgeon is extracting your follicles, the hair grafts will then be categorised by technicians into groups the number of follicles present in each graft (singles, doubles).
- Incision Phase – After a short break, the surgeon will then begin to make incisions in your recipient area (in this instance the eyebrow). As the eyebrow area is very small and delicate, only a tiny incision is made to shorten your recovery time.
- Implantation Phase – Once incisions are complete, the implantation phase can begin. This is where your hair grafts are placed carefully into the eyebrow area to achieve a lovely natural looking density and clean eyebrow shape. The reason grafts are initially separated into singles, doubles, and triples, is so that singles can be placed nearest the edge of your eyebrows line and the doubles can be used to add density in the body of the eyebrow.
Eyebrow Transplant Aftercare
For any hair transplant procedures, aftercare is split up into two key sections: the “initial recovery period” and “hair growth period”.
In the first two weeks after your eyebrow transplant, you will be going through the “initial recovery period”. At this time, the main aim is to rest and heal after your eyebrow transplant. During this time, you will want to take two weeks off work to minimise any chance of infection post surgery.
During the initial recovery period, you will be provided with a full eyebrow transplant aftercare kit. This will include a travel pillow, antibiotics, antiseptic cream, and an eyebrow hair shaping kit. You will, of course, also receive post-surgery instructions that give you information on how to proceed after your surgical procedure.
From week 3 to 52, you will then be in the “growth period”. It is at this point where your eyebrow hairs will grow. In most cases, we tend to find eyebrow transplant results take between 9 and 12 months to fully come into fruition. So don’t be too anxious if your eyebrows are taking some time to grow. People’s hair grows at different rates.
Eyebrow Transplant Cost
Eyebrow transplants do tend to vary a little in price at the Cardiff clinic. This is due to a couple of factors, that include: the size of the eyebrow area needing surgery, the complexity of the case, and the surgical method you wish to go ahead with (FUE or DHI).
Eyebrow transplants usually begin from around £3,000 for small cases and can increase up to £5,000 for patients suffering with total hair loss on both eyebrows.
Whilst other clinics may work on a “cost-per-graft” basis, we do not at the Cardiff Clinic, or any other of our UK hair transplant clinics. All of our quotes offered out are priced by area and are intended to provide patients with natural looking eyebrows that help give our patients younger looking appearance. A full count of grafts will be provided after the surgery.
Why Get an Eyebrow Transplant in Cardiff?
There are a number of reasons why women tend to come to the Cardiff clinic with the aim of having an eyebrow transplant. Here are some of the reasons why previous patients have come to us looking for an eyebrow hair transplant procedure:
- “For years, I have been plucking and threading my eyebrow hair to make it look nicer. However, I did not realise that this was having an effect on my ability to grow hair in the long term. When my eyebrow hair did not start growing back, I decided to look into eyebrow transplants.”
- “Two years ago, I was in a car accident. Although I was not left seriously harmed, I have since had a scar that has prevented my eyebrow hair from growing. I decided to contact the Cardiff clinic to see if they could provide me with an eyebrow transplant.”
So, most the common cause of eyebrow hair loss tends to be from over-plucking. However, we do also have patients who come to us post-accident or injury, and we do also take patients who have suffered with permanent hair loss to the eyebrows.

FAQs
At Hair Transplant Cardiff, we do offer many types of hair transplantation. As well as eyebrow transplants, we do also offer beard transplants and hair transplant procedures. Our surgical team is trained in the FUE and DHI method. We can also offer finasteride to our patients.
This answer is very much dependent upon the size of your case. Generally speaking, an eyebrow needs roughly 600 hair grafts while the thicker brows could need up to 1000. If you would like to know the size of your particular case, don’t hesitate to book yourself in for a free video consultation.
There are a number of causes of eyebrow hair loss. However, from personal experience, most patients come to us looking for eyebrow hair transplants due to excessive beauty practices like micro blading, threading, and plucking.
Whilst many women may be able to do this for years without any repercussions, it’s always wise to do these treatments sparingly, as you may need an eyebrow transplant in the future.
