I Am 58 Years Old Man and Have Thinning Eyebrows Related to Age. Is There a Remedy?

Occasionally minoxidil or Latisse(R) -  a product for eyelashes-  can restore eyebrows.  In addition, you need to be tested for thyroid levels.  However, the definitive treatment is an eyebrow transplant, a procedure that very few doctors have experience performing, but when done correctly, can nicely restore the eyebrows to a fuller look.  Do your homework to make sure to get this procedure done correctly.

Thank you for your question.  Latisse is FDA approved for eyelashes.  Typically the lashes appear longer in a month, thicker the next month, and darker after that.  Use in other places is considered "off-label."  There is now literature that supports eyebrow regrowth.  We have also seen that clinically in our practice.  Sometimes Minoxidil can help.  For cases with severe over plucking, a hair transplant may be an effective option.Jeffrey J.

Yes, there is a remedy for thinning eyebrows. If it’s not the side effect of a medical condition, or even malnourishment (for which the remedy would simply be a better diet or multivitamin), you may need eyebrow transplantation. Follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplant using uGraft is generally an excellent solution for people who want thicker eyebrows. FUE body hair transplant is another viable option, which would use an amenable donor source like leg hair to transplant to your eyebrows. All of these surgical options are minimally invasive, safe, heal quickly, and result in cosmetically acceptable scarring.
