Whether Alan Carr’s supposed sudden hair growth is or is not the result of a hair transplant – I can’t categorically say, however one thing I’m sure of is that it is not due to the herbal remedies he claims to have been drinking! Certainly green tea, aloa vera juice and the like may make […]

A woman can change her hairstyle as often as she changes her mind. A recent study found that women change their hairstyles more than 100 times between the ages of 13 and 65 – that’s a lot of serum, hair spray and hair dye! The numerous hairstyles sported throughout a woman’s lifetime aren’t just limited […]

It’s a common misconception that hair loss is a problem faced predominantly by men. We see a high number of women at the practice suffering from hair loss for a variety of reasons.

Whist the hair transplant itself is hardly unusual, or indeed the fact that he’s in the public eye (we have several celebrity clients at The Farjo Medical Centre, including Kyran Bracken, Shawn Williamson and Duncan Bannatyne) what was of […]

I’ve been talking about this for a while, but I was reminded about it yesterday when we received a call from a mother enquiring about hair transplant surgery for her 16-year-old son! Over the past few years I have noticed a steady increase in the number of younger men requesting surgery; however this is the […]
