Understanding Eyebrow Thinning
Years of aggressive tweezing can permanently damage the hair follicle, preventing regrowth.
As we age, hair follicles can become dormant, leading to naturally sparser and thinner brows.
Some individuals are simply genetically predisposed to having thinner eyebrows.
Lack of essential vitamins and minerals like iron, biotin, and zinc can impact hair growth.
Thyroid disorders, alopecia areata, and other autoimmune conditions can cause eyebrow hair loss.
How we at Shumaila’s can treat this
We offer a dual approach to treating eyebrow thinning, providing both a powerful non-surgical option to stimulate existing follicles and a permanent surgical solution to restore density where follicles are no longer active.

Non-Surgical Hair Loss Treatment for Eyebrows
Learn More about Non-Surgical Hair Loss Treatment for EyebrowsThis treatment uses a potent serum derived from your own blood, rich in growth factors, which is microneedled into the eyebrow area. It is designed to awaken dormant hair follicles, improve circulation, and stimulate new, healthier hair growth.
Ideal for
Individuals with thinning brows where hair follicles are still present but dormant or producing fine, weak hairs. A great first step before considering surgeryResults
Gradual improvement in hair thickness and density over a course of 3-6 sessions. Results become visible within a few months as the hair growth cycle progressesManagement
A course of treatments is required, typically spaced one month apart. Maintenance sessions may be needed every 6-12 months to sustain the results

Eyebrow Transplant (FUE – Follicular Unit Extraction)
Learn More about Eyebrow Transplant (FUE – Follicular Unit Extraction)An eyebrow transplant is a permanent, surgical solution for restoring eyebrow density and shape. Using the FUE technique, individual hair follicles are meticulously harvested from a donor area (typically the back of the scalp) and then artistically implanted one by one into the eyebrow region, following the natural direction and angle of brow hair growth.
Ideal for
Individuals with significant hair loss where follicles are permanently damaged (e.g., from over-plucking, scarring) or for those seeking a definitive, one-time solution for permanent densityResults
The transplanted hairs will shed after a few weeks, then begin to regrow permanently after 3-4 months. The final, full result is visible at around 12 months and is permanentManagement
This is a minor surgical procedure performed under local anaesthetic. There is minimal downtime, with some initial redness and scabbing for 5-10 days. The transplanted hairs will need to be trimmed periodically as they will grow like scalp hair

Frequent Asked Questions
Yes. Our surgeons are experts in placing each hair follicle at the correct angle and direction to mimic natural eyebrow growth, resulting in a completely natural and undetectable result.

The cost varies depending on the number of grafts required to achieve your desired density. We provide a detailed cost breakdown during your consultation and offer 0% finance options.
The non-surgical treatment stimulates existing, dormant hair follicles to grow thicker and healthier. A transplant physically adds new, permanent hair follicles to areas where they are missing. We often recommend starting with the non-surgical option if follicles are still present.
