Frequently Asked Questions
Is FUE eyebrow transplant permanent?
The transplanted follicular units are considered permanent; however, regular trimming may be necessary as the transplanted hair may continue to grow.
Is the procedure painful?
Since the procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, mild tenderness and edema that may last for a few days after the procedure are expected rather than pain.
Do transplanted hairs fall out?
There may be a temporary shedding in the early stages; this does not mean that the roots are lost, new growth begins in the following months.
Can FUE be performed on the area with scarring?
In appropriately selected cases, yes, but the type, depth and circulation of the scar must be evaluated by the doctor.
Is it applied to patients with alopecia areata (ringworm)?
Successful results can be obtained in selected patients in whom the disease is not active and has been stable for a long time. There is a risk that hair transplanted during the active period may fall out again.
