Eyelash Transplant
Eyelash loss (Madarosis) can be a devastating consequence of injury or sometimes with no obvious reason. At Skin and Follicle we have a team that has been trained in the management of this complex problem.
In this surgery, hair is harvested from a suitable donor site, and through a specialised technique, each hair follicle is transplanted into the eyelid to create a new eyebrow. The result is immediate and you will be able to see it in the clinic.
