Wayne Rooney is perhaps the best-known UK recipient of an FUE hair transplant, having been talked about in the media frequently since news of his procedure first broke. While other famous men have also had procedures in recent times – including actor James Nesbitt, chef Gordon Ramsay and Dancing on Ice judge Jason Gardiner – it is the Manchester United star that has really captured the public’s attention.
With on-pitch japery from Rooney involving him pointing at his lucky hair following a goal, interest in his operation has continued to grow. But have celebrity procedures such as his increased the number of people seriously looking into FUE hair transplants?

The RevitaLash brand has long been at the forefront of developing new products associated specifically with eyelashes. The company’s latest product, RevitaLash ® Advanced, has been formulated to help dramatically improve the appearance of eyelashes that suffer from being brittle, fragile, short, sparse or thin.
The importance of eyelashes as a key visual and practical part of the face is sometimes understated, but having thick, full lashes can in reality make a huge difference to how a face looks and how the eye is protected from dirt and other debris. Those behind the RevitaLash brand have worked hard for many years to help people achieve better looking lashes.

Manchester United and England football star Wayne Rooney recently revealed the results of his new hair transplant shortly before jetting off to Barbados with girlfriend Colleen. At 25, Rooney is a fairly young candidate for a hair restoration procedure, but his decision demonstrates the changing attitudes towards hair restoration in society as a whole.
While the football star undeniably is a well funded young man, hair transplants are now within the reach of ordinary people too. With treatment plans starting at £3000, depending on the number of grafts needed, Crown Cosma Clinic are leading in the way in UK-based, high quality hair restoration procedures that make a real difference to people’s lives.

The term Follicular Unit Extraction refers to one of the two main ways follicular units are extracted in the process of hair transplantation. These naturally occurring units are usually comprised of between one and four hairs. The other common method of follicular unit extraction, strip harvesting, involves taking a strip of skin containing hairs and then dissecting it afterwards. Both methods form the basis of follicular unit transplantation.
Scarring from FUE takes the form of small, typically white ‘pits’, while strip harvesting leaves a linear scar where the donor skin was removed.

The state of the art system has been specifically designed with needle-phobic patients in mind, providing just the right level of anaesthetic to eliminate pain.
Dr. Shahmalak commented: “Pain is of course a concern for anyone undergoing a minor surgical procedure the CompuMed system has proven very effective in making our procedures pain free. We are always investing in equipment and techniques that improve the patient experience, and this new system demonstrates our commitment to offering the most comfortable, pain free hair restoration procedures in the UK.”

There are a wide range of causes for female hair loss, but one of the most common is telogen effluvium. It is distinct from other types of hair loss in that its effects can be seen as a wide spread shedding of hairs, not only on the scalp, but elsewhere on the body too. The condition usually arises when the body’s physical or hormonal systems come under a high degree of stress, or as a reaction to some forms of medication.
It is common for the condition to worsen fairly quickly, before improving over the following six months. In some rare cases, the condition can become chronic.

Hair loss for anyone is distressing enough. But when you have the added stress of Cancer and the associated treatment of chemotherapy – this can lead to severe psychological distress. We recently learnt of an associate who had unfortuantely suffered from Cancer, but somehow managed to keep all of her hair.
Surprisingly enough, she told us it was because of the scalp cooling that allowed her to keep her hair during chemotherapy – which we all know is the most traumtatic side effects of the drugs given during treatment.
So we looked into it, and discovered how successful this treatment really is.

Apart from Hair Transplants few celebrities are opting for non-permanent solutions such as laser and artificial hair fibres i.e. Ryan Giggs, Graham Gooch and Shane Warne.

Ms AS from Greater Manchester came to visit us and was very distressed with her sparse eyebrows from overplucking and falling out from stress, she had always concealed this by wearing eye brow pencil – after speaking with so many women of all ages – this is very common. After a lengthy consultation with our surgeon, Mr Shahmalak, as she was not keen on the idea of surgery and wanted a solution that was non-invasive.
She was recommended a product known as RevitaLash – although it is made for the eyelashes, it was the same concept if applied to eyebrows.
