“I Was In And Out In A Day And My Life Had Changed” A national newspaper journalist took his readers behind the scenes of a hair transplant surgery when he underwent hair transplant surgery at our Manchester clinic this summer. Mirror Online’s Thomas Bristow gave a no-holds-barred account of his surgery, discussing everything from his […]
After he unveiled his impressive new ‘do’, Wayne Rooney received almost as much media attention for his hair transplant as for his football career. It’s therefore no surprise that the press is keen to keep up-to-date with the development of Rooney’s hair follicles. The Daily Mail took some shots of Rooney at a press conference […]
I read an article in the Daily Mail with interest earlier this week. In light of Louis Walsh showcasing his fuller head of hair post-transplant, the journalist decided to take a look at several other celebrities whose hair also has the ‘X Factor’.

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 […]
I 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 […]
Latest figures from the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) show that, despite the global recession, the demand for procedures to correct hair loss has been stronger than ever.
