Eyebrows are of primary importance in our face, since they can get our expression to change completely. For this reason, more and more people are turning to eyebrow micrografting, a definitive alternative to microblading, a semi-permanent aesthetic technique performed hair by hair that allows the shape and color of the eyebrow to be modified.

And although they seem similar treatments are very different. The MC360 hair medicine clinic explains what eyebrow micrografting consists of and its main advantages over microblading. “The eyebrow micrograft is a practically painless intervention in which hair from another part of the body is implanted in the areas with a lack of eyebrow hair, so that they are born naturally after the intervention. The follicular units are extracted from the area donor, present in the nape of the neck, and are implanted in the recipient area, which in this case are our eyebrows”, says Dr. Cristina Chacón, an expert in hair medicine at the MC360 clinic.
Among the most frequent reasons for an eyebrow transplant request are:
1. Lack of generalized density or bald spots due to excessive hair removal maintained over time.
2. Lack of density due to stress or anxiety.
3. Lack of density due to hormonal or other systemic diseases that have caused hair loss, which must be in remission at the time of grafting.
4. Fall due to medical treatments such as chemotherapy; The treatment must have been completed and the disease stabilized for at least 5 years before the intervention.
5. Superficial scars: if they are of considerable amplitude, a small preliminary test could be carried out to see if the graft is viable and, after a period of at least 6 months and objectifying the growth of the hair, the definitive graft could be carried out.
6. Correction or coverage of previous microblading or micropigmentation.
According to Dr. Chacón of MC360, “those people whose skin on which the graft is going to be performed is healthy skin, that is, free of any pathology that could cause graft rejection, are suitable for this intervention, such as a fibrosing alopecia, a deep burn, infections of any origin, etc.”
Likewise, the greatest advantage that eyebrow grafting has over microblading is, above all, its naturalness, since it is real hair and not drawn, as well as being a definitive treatment that does not need to be retouched periodically. “It is true that, although it does not need a touch-up in a specialized center once a year, this technique does require maintenance care, but these can be done at home, they are simple and do not constitute an added expense”, highlights the doctor of MC360.
The natural and tangible results offered by eyebrow micrografting make more and more people interested in undergoing this treatment. To carry out this intervention, prior preparation is necessary, which may seem more complicated than if microblading or micropigmentation were performed, since it requires prior assessment by a doctor; including the preoperative imaging and analytical test, “but it certainly pays off in the long run, since the result is for life, given that the implanted hair never falls out, maintenance is minimal and it can be done at home at no cost added,” explains Dr. Cristina Chacón.
Price is another long-term advantage. The MC360 experts point out that “the cost of an eyebrow micrograft is around 2,000 euros in a single session, a much lower cost than microblading, whose first session is between 350-450 euros and involves annual maintenance of approximately 250-350 euros for life”.
The final result in an eyebrow graft is given a year after the intervention, although in less than 6 months the patient will begin to notice the first results, noticing how their eyebrows gain density and begin to recover their previous state; while microblading, despite being a good short-term option, will always need some touch-up, sometimes even before a year has passed.
“For all these reasons, we believe that eyebrow grafting is the perfect treatment and the most durable alternative for those who want to repopulate their eyebrows in a definitive way”, they conclude from MC360.
