It would be incredibly odd for you to wake up with 20% of your eyebrow gone in one night, unless perhaps you applied hair remover to your eyebrow before you went to bed… I would follow up with your dermatologist and get a confirmation of the diagnosis. Don’t panic, but just take it one step […]

Eyebrow hair goes through a normal life cycle just like the hair anywhere else on your body, but this doesn’t sound like natural cycling based on what you describe. If you have been rubbing the eyebrows (more about the repetition as opposed to the aggressiveness), this can cause traction alopecia to the hair on the […]
Eyebrow transplants work well. They are really valuable for eyebrows that are incomplete, damaged by trauma or picking the hairs out over time. I have done many of these and the results are very good, but there is an art in the transplant process and a technical skill that is very difficult for many doctors. […]
There is not enough data and clearly not a focused study to connect hair loss and soy intake. I suspect if you had an allergy to soy, hair loss wouldn’t be a total surprise. But for those without a soy allergy, I can’t make the leap to connect it to your thinning eyebrows.
You may have psoriasis rather than seborrheic dermatitis. The hair that is going to fall out in normal hair cycling will often come out with the big flakes. You need to be evaluated by a dermatologist.
The eyebrow telogen cycle lasts about 9 months, so for hairs that fall out, it would take up to 9 months for them to return. I suspect that the growth phase is also shorter than scalp hair, possibly 3-6 months, which means that the growth of eyebrow hair occurs in short periods of time. We […]
If you have alopecia universalis, then you don’t have any body hair at all — so unfortunately, transplanting hair isn’t an option.
When hair cloning is available, it will have a genetic clock that should dictate the hair cycle for each particular hair, hence its length. But saying much about something that is not here now and possibly won’t be available for 10+ years, would be foolish for me at this time. It would be like having […]
There are two issues here: Theoretically, you can transplant eyebrow hair from one eyebrow to the other, but it may produce unwanted hair loss and/or scarring in that area (even by using the FUE technique). And if you can harvest the excess eyebrow hair, it may not always grow. This in the end may leave […]
I am not sure how I can be of help if you have already seen a number of doctors. You are doing the right thing by seeing a dermatologist. Keep the appointment and let me know what you find. Hair loss is mostly due to genetic causes in men. Do you see a particular pattern […]
It sounds like you were given far too few grafts. Generally it takes 300-400 grafts to complete an eyebrow transplant. We charge about $3000 for eyebrows, but if I do it, it will be $4000 as my fee is higher. Dr. Pak is my associate and he is terrific and his work is impeccable. I […]
Yes, we do eyebrow transplants! Body hair transplants (from the back, chest or leg) have been attempted in the past with minimal success because the telogen cycle is long, at times longer than the growth cycle. Although scalp hair transplant to the eyebrow is routinely done, it does not always produce soft eyebrows that women […]
If you have seen a good dermatologist and had a good hair transplant doctor, I can not add much here as I would have less information than they have. You could be experiencing some shock loss in your eyebrows, but I’m just not sure, as I’ve not examined you and am not familiar with your […]
Yes, chest or body hair can be used for eyebrow transplants, but that would not be my first choice (see past entries I’ve written about body hair transplants). Eyebrow transplants do not usually take much hair.
There is no substitute to a good medical examination of your hair. I would start looking there. I know of no connection between glaucoma and head hair loss or eyebrow loss, but I would keep the medication off of the eyebrows. There is a glaucoma medication (bimatoprost) that was recently FDA approved to treat eyelash […]
