Introduction
With the successful advent of microfollicular hair transplant, now it is possible to do a microfollicular hair transplant for the eyelashes. A number of men and women have thin eyelashes,and desire to increase the density of the lashes, and now this extremely delicate surgical procedure is very much possible with hair transplant procedure
Procedure
The procedure remains like a hair transplant done for the scalp. A thin strip of hair is taken from the back of the head, and then each single folicular unit is separated. In the eyelashes we do not need a large number of hair follicles ( only about 75 for both the lashes),but we need extreme care to preserve the hair follicles and to preserve its vitality. once the requitred number of hair follicles are obtained they are then implanted one by one with the special DRAG knife. Once the hair strip is taken from the back of the head, there is a small scar, which is easily hidden between hair. It is now possible to perform the hair transplant using the follicular unit extraction method. In this method, instead of taking a skin strip, a special punch instrument is used to extract hair follicles one by one leaving very small dots as scar marks.
Results
hair growth will take about 4-5 months to start appearing after it goes through the telogen and catagen phase. There is a need to clip the transplanted hair once in about 1 month,since their growth is much more than normal eyelash hair. A lot of care is taken to ensure normal directional growth of hair in this region.
