I was wondering if eyebrow hair would grow back after injury because I scraped my head on concrete and lost some hairs?

Thanks for your query. Eyebrow hairs do grow back but it depends on your lesion. If it is a scarring lesion then the chances are less for hair to come back but non scarring one where hair follicles are still there, you stand a good chance for all the hair to come back. Hope it helps.All The Best

Hi flashkid22, sorry to hear of your injury.  Yes, eyebrows can sometimes grow back, depending upon the follicle viability.  Platelet rich plasma injections provides nutrients when blood flow has been compromised.  Latisse application has been shown anecdotally to increase brow hair growth. Very natural, hair like strokes can be created with permanent cosmetic tattooing in the event that the hair doesn't grow back.  The surgical option would involve hair transplantation.  All of the above provide good results and should be considered depending upon how many hairs have been lost, how long since injury, desire to have immediate improvement, desire to avoid or have surgery, etc.  Good luck,

I can't tell you if the eyebrow hair will grow back on it's own, however there are options for regrowth. PRP and Progesterone injections can be used to grow back your eyebrow hair. I recommend seeing an expert in hair loss for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Most should grow back depending on the degree of trauma you suffered.  The ones that don't can be restored with an eyebrow transplantation.

Sometimes eyebrow hair, when lost from trauma, does not grow back. When that happens, a hair transplant into the eyebrow works well
