Not Only Celebrities Get Hair Transplants
Celebrities such as James Nesbitt and Wayne Rooney have gone public about their hair transplants & the truth is that thousands of ordinary men receive hair transplant surgery every year.
"Hair loss can have a psychological impact
on any man no matter what he does..."
Hair Restoration Blackrock (HRBR), the hair transplant clinic which treated Louis Walsh and James Nesbitt, has just completed some interesting analysis of their 2011 patients. Last year HRBR saw in excess of 2000 regular men, as well as a few well known faces.
“Hair loss is a great leveller. While it may be celebrities who make the headlines, our average patients are men of all ages and from all walks of life. There is no doubt that when celebrities like Wayne Rooney and Louis Walsh go public, it helps de-stigmatise hair restoration surgery, which is something we greatly welcome. As well as people from the entertainment industry and professionals, here at HRBR in both our London and Dublin clinics, we see a wide variety of men, which includes everyone from politicians and plumbers to postmen”. Hair loss can greatly affect a man’s self esteem and self image, be he in front of the camera or in front of a client, colleague, or partner.” said Dr. Maurice Collins, Medical Director and Founder of HRBR.
Commenting further Dr Collins said “It doesn’t surprise me at all to see business people ahead of actors and musicians from our 2011 patient list. Nor I am surprised to see students in the list. Students are the young professionals of tomorrow, this generation is more conscious than ever of the need to look one’s best and to look young”.
"Wayne Rooney’s announcement on Twitter that he has had
a hair transplant has had a significant influence in the
number of men making enquiries about having the procedure".
Dr Bessam Farjo, the UK’s leading authority on hair transplant surgery, comments: “Celebrities have certainly been seen to take action when it comes to hair loss in recent years. We’ve treated patients including Duncan Bannatyne and Kyran Bracken at the Farjo Medical Centre. Wayne Rooney’s announcement on Twitter that he has had a hair transplant has definitely had a significant influence in the number of men making enquiries about having the procedure.
“We’ve noticed a 20 per cent increase in the number of men seeking hair transplants over last 12 months, somewhat fuelled by the current trend of celebrities openly opting for treatment.
“Whilst hair transplant surgery is great for those in the public eye, it’s certainly not exclusive to those who feature in the press or work in the media. We’re approached everyday by men from all walks of life. Hair loss can have a psychological impact on any man no matter what he does, so it’s no wonder that more men are now taking action. We see patients who have their confidence and self esteem completely restored thanks to a relatively small procedure. That’s attractive to any man suffering from hair loss, whatever industry he works in.
“The ongoing popularity for the surgery means we now have a six month waiting list. We’re currently increasing our premises in Manchester in response to the huge demand for hair transplant surgery, and adding to our London facilities too.”
