Whilst in between consultations today I received an email from a recent patient of mine, enquiring as to why some men have to undergo 2-3 operations to receive the same number of grafts he had received in one. This is a subject that can often prove very confusing to patients as they try to differentiate […]

I have to confess to having an interest in the movements of Ryan Giggs and even named my son after him; yet rather than his form on the pitch, it was the images that surfaced in several national newspapers that caught my attention over the last several weeks. It would appear that Ryan, like several […]

I was interested to read that a well-known TV doctor  has recently admitted to having a hair transplant. 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 […]

Whilst the majority of the surgery we perform has steadily increased over the past few years, from time to time we notice trends that affect particular treatments.

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 […]
