Beautiful eyes are greatly enhanced by long, thick lashes. However, not everyone is blessed with naturally lush lashes. If you seek a permanent solution, eyelash transplantation is an excellent option.
The procedure involves harvesting a small strip of hair and skin from the back of the scalp, then implanting it into the eyelash area. Typically, 30-50 hair follicles are transplanted. During the first 2-3 weeks post-surgery, the implanted hairs will shed before regrowing. The entire eyelash transplant takes about two hours and requires only local anesthesia.
It's important to note that since the transplanted hair comes from the scalp, it grows relatively quickly and requires regular trimming. Additionally, individuals with naturally curly or coarse hair are not suitable candidates for eyelash transplantation.
How long do eyelash transplant results last?
If the hair follicles successfully take root, the results are permanent following a successful procedure. They do not fade over time, so patients need not worry about the longevity of the effect.
What is the cost of eyelash transplantation?
The price of eyelash transplantation is influenced by the number of sessions required and other factors. Since a single session may not achieve full success, a second procedure might be necessary. Generally, the cost of eyelash transplantation starts at over 10,000 yuan.
How should eyelash transplants be cared for post-surgery?
Scabs at the transplant site will naturally shed within 7-10 days. New eyelashes will grow from the transplanted follicles after 3-6 months. A second transplant session can be scheduled approximately 8 months after the initial procedure. To ensure optimal results, follow these post-operative care guidelines:
1.Avoid getting the surgical area wet for one week post-procedure. Shampooing is permitted after four days, but avoid vigorous rubbing of the donor site.
2. Refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods immediately after eyelash transplantation.
3. Avoid lifting heavy objects or engaging in strenuous exercise for five days post-procedure.
