Qualifications for Eyelash Transplant
Eyelash transplants for cosmetic purposes are becoming more common, but it is still a strict procedure. Therefore, it is essential to find an experienced eyelash transplant surgeon with a good history of successful eyelash transplants.
If you have genetically thin eyelashes or hair loss that leads to thin eyelashes and are considering an eyelash transplant, be sure sure to check yourself with qualifications for eyelash transplant below to see if you would be a good candidate for eyelash transplantation surgery:

- Understand that regrowth rates vary

The Beginning of Successful Eyelash Transplant: It all started with fake lashes gone wrong. Three weeks into wearing false eyelashes, native Angeleno Michelle Barrera ended up with bald spots on her lash line after removing them. Realizing the severe damage the false eyelashes and thick black lash adhesive caused on her eyelashes, Barrera admits she went into hiding.
“I didn’t even want to go outside,” she said.
She wore glasses to hide her bald lashes. “I felt insecure about myself,” she admitted. She knew she needed an eyelash restoration but was worried and unsure of her options.

Devastated, she spent months concealing her frustration with her eyelashes. Barrera’s story is just one of dozens upon dozens of other women’s cumbersome experiences with false eyelashes or eyelash extensions. Many keep hiding their balding lashes by wearing fake eyelashes to cover up with hopes that no one will notice shamefully.
Women who desire long luscious eyelashes go to extreme measures to achieve sexy fluttering eyelashes, even if it means spending an immense amount of hard-earned money buying the latest celebrity-endorsed eyelash products, medicinal remedies like Latisse, or even wearing the little tiny fur coats on their eyelashes, fake eyelash extensions composed of either artificial materials or animal fur.
Embrace Your Individuality With VeeLashe™
Desperate for a more permanent solution, while cosmetic treatments and procedures continued to increase in popularity, Barrera looked to Dr. U, who suggested the Veelashe procedure using body hair. Upon examining her entire body hair donor scope, Dr. U determined that the closest match for her eyelashes was her thick caliber leg hairs.
Because Dr. U uses his DrUGraft technology, he utilizes any hair, including all body hair, to perform a successful eyelash transplant. It also means he is not confined to using only head hair, which conventional eyelash transplant methods must contend with.
In actuality, Dr. U considers the head an unsuitable fit for eyelash transplants because head hair has a thick non-malleable caliber devoid of the desired curl, an aesthetic and functional characteristic of eyelashes. On the other hand, the chosen body hair was malleable with a curl easily adaptable to a natural eyelash flow.
Embrace Your Individuality With VeeLashe
Just precisely, what is VeeLashe?
Dr. U Hair and Skin Clinic in Los Angeles developed a revolutionary eyelash restoration procedure that is transformative and cost-effective for patients – VeeLashe.
VeeLashe, a Dr. U evolutionary hair transplant surgery that uses pubic hair for eyelash transplant, is a permanent procedure that has provided patients with long and voluminous eyelashes without the mink or glue.
In Barrera’s case, Veelashe eyelash transplant delivered a permanent and natural fuller-looking result, much to her excitement.
“Every woman that goes out to get fake eyelashes from someone should really look into this,” she said. “Because it’s something that is going to last you, your whole life.”
At Dr. U Hair and Skin Clinic, Dr. U began noticing that the traditional methods for eyelash transplantation consisted of extracting hair follicles from the scalp and resulted in unnatural-looking eyelashes and lashes that required significant amounts of upkeep post-operation.
For this reason, he started researching new donor areas that could potentially be used for eyelash transplant surgery.
Hair from the pubic area was determined to have some of the best characteristics that mimic the natural curliness of an eyelash. Pubic hair follicles can be safely extracted using the innovative FUE technology, Dr.UGraft™, harvesting the follicles as usable long-term grafts.
For most individuals, the characteristics of their pubic hair made a more natural fit for thicker, natural-looking lashes. Plus, the maintenance associated with a pubic hair eyelash transplant is significantly less than the time needed to prepare lashes following a conventional eyelash transplant.
Through VeeLashe™, it’s easier to achieve permanent long and natural eyelashes. This eyelash transplant means not relying on extensions or prescription solutions. This is also an individualistic approach to eyelash transplant in Los Angeles by Dr. U.
Why Pubic Hair? Because Not Everyone’s Inclined Towards Conventional Cosmetic Choices
For centuries, the imagery of dark, long eyelashes has symbolized the definition of feminine beauty. From depictions in famous paintings to the emphasis of lashes in works of poetry and song lyrics, there’s no denying society’s high pedestal for possessing luscious, attractive eyelashes.
Unfortunately, wanting their version of perfect eyelashes may seem unattainable for many women. Due to VeeLashe™, women can now wink with the eyelashes of their dreams.
There are several advantages of using pubic hair for an eyelash transplant:
- A natural curl that emulates natural eyelash curliness
- Fuller, thicker-looking eyelashes
- Slower growth compared to head hair
Pubic hair has flat, ribbon-like qualities and can hold the desired curl easier than straight hair with circular cross-sections. Therefore VeeLashe ™ is the only eyelash transplant that provides natural, thicker-looking eyelashes.
Through a pubic hair eyelash transplant, women can now bring a new meaning to expressing their sexuality through a simple bat of an eyelid. Embrace your individuality and learn more about the VeeLashe™ procedure today.
