Say Hello to Natural Looking Full Eyebrows with MAXiM Ultra-Natural Eyebrow Transplant

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Tired of retouching your eyebrows every day? Not satisfied with eyebrow tattoo? Flaunt natural looking eyebrows through the MAXiM Ultra-Natural Eyebrow Transplant.

People lose hair on their eyebrows due to a variety of reasons – medical disorders, genetics, electrolysis, laser hair removal, over plucking, thyroid conditions, scars, and age.

In the 90’s, skinny eyebrows were on point. Well known celebrities like Gwen Stefani and Drew Barrymore used to sport pencil-thin drawn eyebrows. Trends constantly change and so does the standard of beauty. Nowadays, there is an increasing number of women, even men, who have become obsessed with having full eyebrows. In fact, a myriad of YouTube videos are solely dedicated to putting on eyebrow make-up and making it look as natural as possible. These days, a lot of people think eyebrows strongly determine good looks and the attractiveness of a person.

Although many say they do not mind the time it takes to perfect putting on or grooming their eyebrows every day, some find it tedious and time-consuming. Maybe they will find an Eyebrow Transplant procedure appealing. It is a permanent solution for those who have thin eyebrows and those who are experiencing eyebrow hair loss as well.

The MAXiM Ultra-Natural Eyebrow Transplant is safe and easily done. It uses the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedure or the conventional Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) technique and is performed under local anesthesia by a MAXiM Hair Transplant Surgeon. It takes roughly two hours to complete the procedure, and after the experience, one can return to normal working activity within a day or two.

The hair transplanted onto the eyebrow area is taken from one’s own hair that is harvested from the back of the head. Transplanted hair generally falls off a few weeks after the procedure, but it will re-grow after four months and is permanent. It needs to be trimmed regularly, however.

Mac Fadra, CEO of Maxim Hair Restoration, says “Ultra-Natural Eyebrow Transplant is safe, effective and permanent. It can give you the confidence and satisfaction that you’re looking for because it can be shaped in the exact look and style that you desire for your eyebrows”.

MAXiM Hair Restoration is the Manila branch of the New York-based hair transplant company that also has offices in Connecticut and Chicago in the US; Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, and other Asian markets. MAXiM specializes and focuses on hair restoration, with the mantra "Hair is all we do and we do it well". It has been doing business in the Philippines since 2005.
