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 […]
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. On the other hand hair loss has been something that most celebrities have kept, quite literally, under their hats. Over the past few years, that’s all changed. When someone […]
Setting The Rooney Record Straight
Posted onI just wanted to take a moment to set the record straight with regards to an article published in yesterday’s Daily Star. The piece was about Wayne Rooney and the increase in enquiries that I, and I’m sure many other, hair transplant surgeons have seen since he had surgery earlier this year. I had originally […]
Take A Brow
Posted onTake A Brow! In this blog, we discuss the latest trend of eyebrow transplants. This week I headed down to the BAAPS conference in Birmingham along with a patient who very kindly agreed to accompany me as a case study for the day. The conference touched on upcoming cosmetic surgery trends, so I was on […]
Another Date In The Farjo Diary

As both my wife Nilofer and I are heavily involved in fields of research surrounding hair loss and hair transplant surgery, we try to attend as many conferences as we can throughout the year. This time we’re off to Anchorage, Alaska, to attend the 19th […]
Demand Still Growing Thanks To Celebrities’ Candour

A survey of members of the ISHRS – one of the world’s leading medical authorities on hair loss and hair restoration – found between 2008 […]
#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’. New research suggests that bald men are not in fact bald, but the stem cells of a bald scalp are producing growths that are just too fine to be seen by the naked […]
Is Katie Price Tearing Her Hair Out? Probably!
Posted onKatie Price is not the first female celebrity who is said to have suffered from hair loss. Less than a year ago, photographs emerged of Naomi Campbell showing visible bald spots. Two very different women, one cause of hair loss – traction alopecia! This problem is something I’ve commented on many times before. But for […]
Is A Hair Transplant Right For You?
Posted onJust because you’re experiencing hair loss doesn’t mean you should immediately embark on hair transplant surgery. Even those who have reasonable hair loss and are technically feasible to treat don’t always make for suitable patients. The psychological aspects of hair transplant surgery – and indeed hair loss itself – must always be considered. I could […]
