The saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder couldn’t be truer when it comes to the eyelashes. Long, full lashes bring out the natural beauty of the eyes and help draw attention to one’s facial features. Eyelash transplant in the Philippines provides a permanent solution to thin, sparse, uneven, damaged or missing eyelashes.
Eyelash transplant surgery is a cosmetic procedure that involves transplanting healthy hair follicles, typically from the back of the scalp, to the eyelid margin (where lashes grow) to achieve thicker, fuller eyelashes. This surgical approach offers a permanent solution for individuals with thin or sparse eyelashes due to various factors like genetics, medical conditions, or injuries.
Transplanted eyelashes typically offer permanent results. However, since the hair is implanted from the scalp, it has the potential to grow too long. Thus, maintenance and trimming is required to ensure natural-looking results.

As a facial hair transplant procedure, an eyelash transplant is an ideal treatment for those who are in good health and want to address thin, short, sparse or missing eyelashes due to genetics, injuries, incorrectly using eyelash curlers and extensions, or medical treatments like chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
An eyelash transplant involves obtaining viable hair follicles from a donor site at the back of the head, and then implanting 1 hair using a specialized microneedle. On average, the doctor may implant not less than 80 -120 plus individual hairs per eyelid. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes up to 2 hours to complete.
Results:
Two weeks after the procedure, the newly transplanted hair will be shed, making way for fresh ones to grow. The regrowth process can take up to 12 weeks. Final results become evident at least on the 8th month after the eyelash transplant and vary according to the patient’s desired results.
