While I have discussed my reservations in previous blogs with regards to younger men undergoing hair transplant surgery, I felt that the most effective way to raise my concerns is by offering examples of cases I’ve dealt with in the past. I’ve been liaising with a patient for several years who first came to me […]
Wayne’s Hair Is Beginning To Wear Thin
Posted onWayne Rooney has been in the headlines once again recently, not because of his terrific footwork, but because of his hair transplant. Rooney’s hair has been much debated in the tabloids since he announced it via Twitter earlier this year. Last week, one standout headline read: ‘Time to ask for a refund? Wayne Rooney’s hair […]
Man’s Pursuit Of Perfection
Posted onSome male celebrities have spoken rather candidly about cosmetic surgery – the odd nose job here and there, perhaps a face lift or hint of botox.

#Hairwego… Again!
Posted onOf late, all eyes have been on Wayne Rooney after he tweeted in June to confirm the rumours that he had had a hair transplant. Since then, it’s been an endless procession of stories in the press; rumours about the price he paid, who did it and where, were all circulating for weeks after. What’s […]
The End Is Nigh
Posted onI was recently asked to comment on the relationship between stem cells and hair loss for an article entitled ‘The end of baldness’.
