TLDR Hair transplantation using PLFUT is effective for eyebrow restoration with natural-looking results and no scarring.
The document describes a study on the effectiveness of partial longitudinal follicular unit transplantation (PLFUT) for eyebrow restoration in 10 patients aged 18 to 59. PLFUT, a technique where partial follicular units are used to generate two hair follicles from one, was found to produce no visible scars in the donor area and successful hair reproduction in the transplanted area after one year. Patients reported high satisfaction with the natural density and appearance of their eyebrows. The method was considered reliable and suitable for both healthy individuals and those with burn scars. The study concluded that PLFUT offers better density and more natural results than traditional methods, although the transplanted hairs may grow longer and differ in texture and color, requiring trimming.
