Not only celebrities get hair transplants

Celebrities such as Louis Walsh, James Nesbitt and Wayne Rooney have all gone public about their hair transplants, but the truth is that thousands of ordinary men receive hair transplant surgery every year, usually without anyone ever knowing.

Hair Restoration Blackrock (HRBR), the hair transplant clinic which treated Louis Walsh and James Nesbitt, has just completed some interesting analysis of their 2011 patients. Last year HRBR saw in excess of 2000 regular men, as well as a few well known faces.

"Hair loss is a great leveller. While it may be celebrities who make the headlines, our average patients are men of all ages and from all walks of life. There is no doubt that when celebrities like Wayne Rooney and Louis Walsh go public, it helps de-stigmatise hair restoration surgery, which is something we greatly welcome. As well as people from the entertainment industry and professionals, here at HRBR in our London and Dublin clinics, we see a wide variety of men, which includes everyone from politicians and plumbers to priests". Hair loss can greatly affect a man's self esteem and self image, be he in front of the camera or in front of a client, colleague, or partner." said Dr. Maurice Collins, Medical Director and Founder of HRBR.

Commenting further Dr Collins said "It doesn't surprise me at all to see business people ahead of actors and musicians from our 2011 patient list. Nor I am surprised to see students in the list. Students are the young professionals of tomorrow, this generation is more conscious than ever of the need to look one's best and to look young".
