milkychoco Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Does anybody know if Korean clinics (especially Dream) do hair transplants on eyebrows? Does this procedure exist over there? I know of hair transplants on the head, but have only seen an ad for eyebrows on a Japanese magazine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinyglittery Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 i don't remember which clinics but some clinics in korea do this, i'm 90% sure i read about it. but are you prepared to take care of them? they don't stop growing, they grow like the hair on your head so you have to keep trimming them. and many people complain that they are unhappy with the transplants. they should be easy to remove but be sure it's what you want so you don't waste your money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maiq Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Instead of hair transplant for eyebrows I had 3D tatooing for eyebrow. The idea is that they draw every single stroke (that looks like real hair) to your brow using the tattoo ink (unlike the old method spraying the whole brows), it looks quite real for me because the stroke they draw underneath some of my actual hair thicken my eyebrows and make it look 3D. The plus is that this will last for a good 1-2 years, If I dont like it I can go remove it easily. It's painless for me at least cos they apply local anesthesia around the eyebrows area. I did it in London for a good £200, I think hair transplant is much more expensive. I have heard of many hair transplant patients who are not happy, plus the result is not 100% permanent neither. I'm happy with my brows now, I used to have my first half of the brow very light and thin whilst toward the end it's very dark. After the treatment the color of my eyebrow is natural and somewhat even give me a youthful look even without make up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-couture Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 dream has its own dermatology department but i didnt notice any hair transplant department or procedures being offered. Im gonna be there in a week i can ask for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkychoco Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 my thoughts exactly! actually I know hair transplants are pretty easy but I really just don't know about eyebrows because they don't grow too long like normal hair...oh man...@MaiQ I have fairly decent brows but I just don't like the shape. it's sort of thin shaped at the beginning then it gets thick at the end, instead of the other way around. tattoos wouldn't look convincing since I have no hair to cover it with.@K Couture I just checked their website and they do offer it! http://en.e-dream.co.kr/info/etc/hair, wow, if it isn't too much to ask, can you ask them about the price and if it will grow out like normal hair from the scalp? thank you so much!

shinyglittery Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 they're also used for eyelashes, i've talked to many people who had that done (not in Korea) and they were all annoyed that they grew like normal hair and also ended up not curling upwards nicely but were more limp than the other eyelashes. i think you might notice something similar with your eyebrows but at least they have been used for eyebrows for longer. but i really don't recommend the procedure for your eyelashes and you should consider it carefully if you really need them for your eyebrows. or if you could remove enough hair from the thicker end instead to get eyebrows you could be happy with.

addyson Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 hair transplantation is actually quite popular in KR - scalp and eyebrows i personally wouldn't go to a plastic surgery clinic, instead go to a clinic that specialises in hair transplantation - u will find their adverts in train stations...especially the Sinsa station, that's how I know there r clinics that specialise in it Do u naver? ur best bet is to find a clinic on naver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-couture Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 omg no way what don't they do at dream lol. i'll ask for u after my procedure. Its a bit rush cos my final consult and surgery is the same day. Morning and afternoon. I wonder who the surgeon at dream who does hair transplants is tho. I met their dermatologist and she unfortunately doesn't speak a word of english. Hopefully the hair transplant person does. I mean its still surgery so you would want your surgeon to speak english right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addyson Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I agree!!! i would try 3D tatooing before transplantation...I'm biased tho as i had it done in KR. cheap, painless and lasts long enough (to justify the price I paid KRW180,000 which includes re-touch a month later) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkychoco Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 I don't have thinning brows anyway, that's actually an excellent idea (if possible), I would ask the doctor about that if ever. I wouldn't bother with the eyelash extensions, too scary.@K-Couture thanks, I think clinics should really hire more in-house translators :/@Addyson I see, I have a hard time using Korean sites though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinyglittery Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 in-house translators are in-house consultants and get some kind of commission so maybe it's not such a bad thing... i think if every clinic had one we could forget about good prices. but maybe an in-house translator takes less commission than normal agents because she always has clients... so i don't know how bad it would be i wasn't sure if you'd thought about making the thick ends thinner so i suggested it. ask the doctor about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-couture Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 yeah dream has 2 english translators that i know of. They have more chinese translators tho. I remembered when i popped in again unannounced the day before i left korea, the 2 english translators were not available so the chinese translator took me up to the dermatology department for my skin treatments lol. My chinese is just basic conversational so i had troubles explaining to them that i wanted a microdermabrasion! Also shiny, in house translators are not consultants. They also do not get commission. A consultant does not shadow you throughout your time in the clinic, while the translator does. At every clinic i went to, the in house translator would follow me around when i needed to go to another department to be examined by special machines. The clinics where the surgeons do not speak fluent english the translators will also sit in on your consultation with the surgeon. The actual consultant is someone you only meet when you first arrive to briefly discuss your concerns. They will then recommend you procedures and then assign you to a surgeon. Then after everything you go back to them to discuss price. So while most consultants do speak english, their job description is not to aide you by translating during your activities in the clinic. That's the in house translators job. However, some of the smaller clinics like VIP have their in house consultant also act as their in house translator.

mwol Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Hey, for hair transplation I'd look at:http://www.itemcliniceng.com/http://www.realcosmetic.com/english/main/main.phphttp://eng.mylifeps.com/female-hair-transplantation/ but Life is the only one that addresses eyebrow as well as hairline.

k-couture Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 no most koreans speak broken english on the same level as the japanese, if not worse. Surgeons are highly educated to most of them are proficient - fluent in english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
