In all my years in practice I’ve yet to find a man who thinks that losing his hair is a sign of good fortune. However, one man had good reason to believe just that… until last night that is. Manchester United star Wayne Rooney recently attributed his footballing prowess to his receding hairline, during aninterview […]

Every day I hear a of new ‘miracle cure’, be it pill or potion that will miraculously stop your hair from falling out, and nearly always it’s a complete load of rubbish! Quite frankly, the idea that a shampoo can stop hair loss seems completely absurd. That being said, Head & Shoulders may in fact be onto […]

Over the past 12 months I’ve seen an increasing number of Sikh men coming through my doors suffering from traction alopecia. According to Sikh religious laws, a man’s hair is to be kept long and uncut. To accommodate this, the hair is wound into a knot, and then covered with a turban, on top of the […]

I was interested to read about 28-year-old Diego Del Rio from Florida, who was refused hair transplant surgery because he was HIV positive. A topic like this has understandably generated a lot of debate; the HIV virus is one of those taboo subjects that will never fail to get people talking and, generally, you don’t see many people […]

Perhaps it’s the struggles of becoming a father for the fourth time, or the stress of Hamlet’s opening night on Broadway – either way, something is having an effect on Jude Law’s disappearing hairline.

Alongside the usual requests for advice on products and the endless hair loss myths that get thrown around, there are a significant number of men and women who are worried about doctors’ credentials and experience. This is completely understandable. Caution should always be […]

During a consultation earlier this week, a client informed me that he whole-heartedly believed that his hair loss was due to the tight head-ware he continually wears for his chosen profession. Whilst I’m sure many will know that this is complete and utter nonsense, it is an all-too-common misconception that this and other ‘old-wives-tales’ cause […]

I’m always discussing other people’s hair-loss and thought it would be interesting to give you an insight into my own. This occurred to me recently, when a patient enquired how I, as an ‘expert’ in this field, managed to lose my own hair. My hair loss – like most men’s – is genetic and ‘gifted’ […]

This subject is covered in detail on the Farjo website however the following can help: Ask to see people who had hair transplant surgery by your surgeon. Make sure your surgeon has dedicated the majority of their practice to hair surgery. We recommend you only consider clinics owned by the surgeons as this makes more likely that […]

The donor site at the back will usually be completed covered with your hair and the stitches can be removed at 10-14 days, although they will also self dissolve in 3-4 weeks. The donor site may feel sore or tender for 3-4 days post op. We will provide you with tablets that you can take […]
