Eyebrow Transplant Singapore and Other Eyebrow Treatments

Eyebrow transplant Singapore, cost, grafts and results

Follicular unit extraction (FUE) takes individual follicles from the back of the scalp, usually single-hair grafts, and implants them one by one into the brow at the correct angle and direction. The transplanted hairs grow as scalp hair, so they need trimming every few weeks, and over years they often adapt partly to a brow-like cycle.

• Who it suits. Permanent loss from over-plucking, scars, burns or inactive scarring alopecia, thin brows that have not responded to growth treatments, and anyone who wants real hair rather than pigment. It is the lead option for permanent loss.
• Evidence Grade C. Supported by case series showing graft survival of around 80-90 per cent and high satisfaction at one year. No controlled trials compare it with other options.
• 2026 Singapore price. S$5,000-8,000 per procedure before GST on published clinic pages (S$7,000-8,000 at the one clinic that lists a full procedure price), or about S$8 per graft where priced by graft. A full brow reconstruction uses 150-400 grafts per side, so 300-800 grafts in total.
• Sessions. One, taking two to four hours under local anaesthetic. A second smaller session for density is needed in perhaps one in five cases.
• Downtime. Crusting and redness at the brow for seven to ten days, while the donor area at the back of the scalp heals in a week. Transplanted hairs shed at two to four weeks and regrow from month three, with the full result at six to twelve months.
• Risks. Poor angle or direction giving an unnatural look (the main risk, and operator-dependent), lower graft survival in scarred skin, small cysts, temporary swelling of the eyelids, and ongoing need for trimming.

Botox brow lift in Singapore

A small dose of botulinum toxin is placed in the muscles that pull the brow down, the outer orbicularis oculi beneath the brow tail and sometimes the glabellar muscles, so that the forehead muscle lifts the brow unopposed. The result is a lift of the outer brow by one to three millimetres and an opening of the eye.

• Who it suits. Mild brow ptosis with a tired or hooded look, flat brows in which more arch is wanted, and anyone already having toxin for crow’s feet or frown lines.
• Evidence Grade B. Controlled studies show a measurable elevation of the outer brow of about one to three millimetres lasting three to four months. The effect is modest and not comparable with surgery.
• 2026 Singapore price. S$150-400 as a stand-alone area on published price lists, or included in a two- or three-area package at S$300-1,200.
• Sessions. One, repeated every three to four months.
• Downtime. None.
• Risks. A brow that drops rather than lifts if forehead toxin is added in the wrong place or dose, over-arched “surprised” brows, eyelid droop in a small minority, and asymmetry. All are temporary.

Minoxidil and bimatoprost for eyebrows

Minoxidil 2-5 per cent solution and bimatoprost 0.03 per cent (the prostaglandin analogue used for eyelash growth) are both used off-label on the eyebrows. Minoxidil lengthens the growth phase and enlarges miniaturised follicles, while bimatoprost lengthens and thickens individual hairs.

• Who it suits. Thinning from ageing or past plucking where fine hairs are still visible. Neither is useful where the skin is scarred and bare.
• Evidence Grade B. Controlled studies of each show a measurable increase in eyebrow hair count and thickness at four to six months compared with placebo, and the gain is lost within months of stopping.
• 2026 Singapore price. Minoxidil S$30-80 per bottle over the counter, bimatoprost S$150-250 per bottle on prescription. A bottle lasts two to three months on the brows.
• Sessions. Nightly, indefinitely.
• Downtime. None.
• Risks. Minoxidil can irritate and cause unwanted hair growth where it runs, while bimatoprost can darken the skin of the brow and, if it reaches the eye, the iris, and can cause redness or itching.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an eyebrow transplant cost in Singapore?
Published 2026 clinic prices are S$5,000-8,000 per procedure before GST, or about S$8 per graft where priced by graft. A full reconstruction uses 150-400 grafts per brow.

Is an eyebrow transplant permanent?
Yes. The transplanted follicles come from the back of the scalp and keep growing for life. They grow as scalp hair and need trimming every few weeks, and roughly ten to twenty per cent of grafts do not survive.

How long does microblading last in Singapore?
One to three years, depending on skin type and technique. Oily skin fades in six to twelve months, dry skin holds for twelve to twenty-four months. A touch-up at four to eight weeks and a refresh every twelve to eighteen months are typical.

Can Botox lift the eyebrows?
Yes, by one to three millimetres at the outer brow, for three to four months. It suits mild sagging and a tired look. It cannot lift a heavily hooded brow, and toxin placed in the forehead can lower the brow instead.

Does minoxidil work on eyebrows?
Controlled studies show a measurable increase in eyebrow hair count and thickness after four to six months of nightly minoxidil in brows where follicles are still alive. It has no effect where the skin is scarred and bare, the gain is lost within months of stopping, and use on the eyebrows is off-label.
