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.

Central to the success of Crown Cosma Clinic, Dr Shahmalak ensures that patients understand the restoration process fully, answering any questions they may have. While hair transplants are one option, Crown Cosma Clinic offers a wide range of non surgical options that can be very effective. Dr Shahmalak will recommend the most appropriate solution for you.

Wayne Rooney’s hair transplant is likely to have come about as a result of male pattern baldness, but there are a number of other types of hair loss that can also be treated. Female pattern hair loss, hairline restoration, eyebrow, eyelash and beard restoration together with hair loss resulting from injuries, scarring or skin disease.

You do not need to be an England football star to benefit from professional hair restoration. Contact Crown Cosma Clinic today to find out about our affordable hair restoration solutions.

Scarring from FUE takes the form of small, typically white ‘pits’, while strip harvesting leaves a linear scar where the donor skin was removed.

There are several key advantages to Follicular Unit Extraction. There is no limitation of carrying out strenuous exercise after the procedure has taken place and makes it theoretically possible to harvest from other parts of the body. Where a scalp is too tight for the strip harvest technique, FUE can offer an effective alternative to FUT. The dimensions of the donor area can be expended with FUE (although not necessarily increasing the number of grafts unless carried out as part of an FUT procedure). Finer hair from the nape of the neck can be used for the hairline and for eyebrows using the FUE technique.

Not all patients are suitable candidates for FUE. Due to the greater donor area, there is a risk that lower and upper parts of donor areas are more likely to bear scars and that hair taken from borderline areas are not truly permanent. There tends to be a lower yield from FUE compared to FUT, and grafts are more susceptible to damage. It is more challenging to gain a natural distribution of follicular units and microscopic dissection may be required.

Dr Shahmalak is highly skilled and experienced in the realm of Follicular Unit Extraction, having ensured patients from across the UK and from countries around the world have benefitted from the procedure.

Crown Cosma Clinic is the only hair restoration clinic in the UK to use CompuMed, a new local anaesthetic delivery system that offers pain free surgery. 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.”

The system is comprised of two key elements, the CompuMed microprocessor and the Wand hand piece. The effect is a barely imperceptible injection that delivers anaesthetic in just the right amount, so patients feel no pain.

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.

It’s known as Scalp Cooling which is a method used for lowering the temperature of the scalp. By reducing the scalp temperature by a few degrees creates a restriction in the amount of blood reaching the hair follicles thereby protecting them from the effects of the concentrated chemotherapy drugs carried in the blood stream.

The cap is normally worn for approximately 30 minutes before commencement of chemotherapy, continues to be worn  during the administration of drugs and then for a short time afterwards (subject to the type of drugs being administered).

Many thousands of patients have been successfully treated.  The success of scalp cooling cannot be guaranteed as a number of factors can affect the outcome.  These might include age, hair type, hair condition, the type of cancer being treated and how a patient looks after their hair during the treatment. On most drug regimes research and studies using the Paxman Hair Loss Prevention System have shown success rates of patients who have not required a wig of between 70% and 90%.

We want to help Richard and his team by raising the awareness for the Cold Caps - a recent survey carried out revealed that 95% of the UK population are aware that chemotherapy treatment can cause hair loss, a staggering 82% of people do not know what cold caps are.  This has since prompted their new national campaign ‘Cool Head, Warm Heart’.

For more information please speak with your consultant and/or nursing staff as this treatment is available on the NHS as well as Private Hospitals or alternatively visit www.paxman-coolers.com

When I first saw him at my Harley Street clinic about a year ago, he felt very self conscious of his high forehead and temples.  I felt that he was not very comfortable in himself although a very confident man.

He had already decided in his mind before the consultation had even started that he would have his hair transplant procedure.

Following  from a patient who had his hair transplant on Embarrassing Illnesses in 2008, Dr Jessen was so impressed with his results, he decided to make contact with me.

 On the day of surgery, he was his usual cool self, slightly anxious as it was the fear of the unknown.

Once we started the surgery, it took about 5-6 hours to complete the surgery which was performed under local anaesthetic.   Surgery was tiring but not painful, he said it was only uncomfortable for a couple of minutes when the local anaesthetic was given.

We gave him the post operative instructions on how to look after the grafts and he went back to his normal lifestyle as being a celebrity Dr within a week.  He was aware that the results for the hair transplant would not be visible for at least 6 months.

Once he had the full growth of the grafts, he was very pleased with his results and the rest is history……

Balding and thinning can occur because of stress, genes, changes in nutritional intake, hormonal imbalance, medication or illness.In addition to this, growth can stop because of direct physical stress on the follicle, as has been seen in patients that suffer from hair pulling, known medically as trichotillomania. A similar process is responsible for eyebrow hair loss experienced by women who have over-plucked their eyebrows, which until recently has only been treatable by cosmetic tattooing or applying eyebrow pencil. Hair replacement in Birmingham however now includes precise transplant techniques to address the condition in a more natural way than ever before.

Contrary to popular belief, hair loss is just as common in men as it is in women, but the pattern of hair loss is different. Men tend to have receding hair at the temples and balding at the crown, whereas the hair loss women experience is a more general thinning over the whole area, and therefore less noticeable. The eyebrow transplants are aimed mostly at a female clientele who have over-plucked their brows to the extent that these hairs no longer grow. The new transplants give results that are far more natural than other methods such as cosmetic tattoos or the application of an eyebrow pencil, and are therefore set to be a popular option for patients in London.

Other areas that suffer from hair loss have been difficult to treat because of the precision that is needed for natural looking transplants, especially on small areas such as the eyebrow. The technique requires precise techniques to replicate the same direction of hair growth as a natural eyebrow for a natural result. Eyebrow hair replacement uses donor hair from the scalp, therefore the transplants need to be maintained regularly as the hair growth will be the same as it was on the head. Generally this means a trim every 4 to 6 weeks, the same frequency as visiting a beautician for plucking.
