I’m often asked about the ICX-TRC Cell Therapy Human Clinical Trial and whether or not it was successful.

The internet is a wealth of knowledge where literally anyone can have their say. Whether it’s a blog, tweet, or status update, men and women have the ability to get their views across to a global audience. This is a fantastic way to find out important information on a wide variety of subjects; however a […]

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 […]

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.

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