Those of you who live in London might have seen me on the capital’s new television station, London Live, in May. I was being interviewed on the subject of confidence – a concept which usually goes hand-in-hand with conversations about hair transplantation.

With so many events in your diary, the pressure to look good is on, so it’s no surprise that a notable number of our patients say that this […]
As you may or may not know, I recently joined the Board of Trustees of the Hair Foundation – a not for profit organisation dedicated to providing unbiased information on hair – and this year marks the launch of its National Day of Hair and Skin Health Awareness Roadshow Series in the USA.
