Tag: hair thinning

Many years ago, very few men opted for a hair transplant, and those that did were often ridiculed and embarrassed.
However, in 2018 hair transplants are much more common and socially accepted.
From the rise in clinics providing hair tranplant procedures, to celebrities and other people being more open about transplant, times have definitely moved on.

Many men can suffer from thinning hairlines, either due to age, family history, or a medical condition than can weaken follicles.
One rather common medical illness that is known for causing hair loss is pneumonia. However, many serious illnesses can result in a loss of hair. This is not exclusive to men either, meaning that women can also experience hair loss because of illness.
It’s also worth noting that you are not limited to one hair transplant. Often people return for more surgery as they age to boost the results of their first transplant.
The two most common areas for hair transplant are at the front of the head and at the top.
While having a hair transplant is not as popular as having a boob job, times are changing and more people are correcting their hair loss. It is also becomming more socially acceptable and seen as a way to boost self confidence and apperance to others.
There are many celebrities who have had procedures to correct hair loss or thinning and have spoken publically about it, including Dr Christian Jessen (known from Channel 4’s Embarrasing Bodies), Wayne Rooney and James Nesbitt.
Losing your hair can also play a part in mental health issues. Therefore, with the increased publicity and the fact that hair transplants are more common, men no longer need to suffer in silence, which is definitely a positive thing in modern times.
One of the most common types of implant is FUT – Follicular Unit Transportation. This is a procedure whereby individual hairs are taken from a particular part of the head (usually the back) in a strip, separated and (re)planted in the hairline. To read more about this procedure, please see out hair transplant FUT page.
You can also contact us any time for a chat about hair loss treatments and arrange a consultation with no obligation or pressure. Consultations can be great for finding out more about procedures, asking questions and getting the peace of mind you need to make an informed decision about hair transplantation.

Celebrities who have had a hair transplant

One of the reasons why hair transplants have become more popular in 2018 than any other year, is the amount of exposure they receive from celebrities. Often the media reports when a celebrity has undergone hair loss procedures, but because they are now more socially acceptable, a lot more are going public and being open about their treatments.

-Wayne Rooney
-Louis Walsh
-Calum Best
-James Nesbitt
-George Sampson

While we do agree that it is a positive thing that people are being more open about hair loss, there are still some celebrities who are unconfirmed but rumoured to have undergone hair loss treatments. These include; Rafa Nadal, Gordon Ramsay and Rob Brydon.
Hair transplant costs are one of the main concerns for many people. While transplants can depend on a number of factors, they tend to be around the £3000-£6000 mark.

In the world of cosmetic surgery, there is a common misconception that only men have hair transplants.
However, hair loss treatments are readily available for women and a transplant is just one of them.
In 2018, hair transplants are on the rise.
Not only are more people undergoing treatment for hairloss with a transplant, but they are also publicising it.
Being open and public about a hair transplant is a great way to build confidence, instead of hiding away.
As more celebrities are undergoing transplantation of the hair folicles, so are the general public.
While there is still a stigma surrounding hair transplants, there is nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about.
Along with the celebrity influence, social media is also contributing to the rise of hair transplants through sharing of photos and reviews.
Women as well as men can lose their hair for all sorts of reasons.

Whilst the common cause for both men and women is hereditary-pattern baldness, there are other conditions that can cause hair to fall out.

One condition that is common but not so well publicised is traction alopecia.
Traction alopecia is a type of hair loss whereby the primary cause is pulling the hair too tight over a prolonged period.
Certain hairstyles such as braids, pigtails or ponytails are known for causing traction alopecia.
It can also be caused by the use of clasps or hair clips.
If you suspect you are suffering from this type of hair loss, call us today in confidence for a friendly chat about the condition. You can also arrange a consultation where you will receive a thorough examination to confirm the condition and discuss your treatment options.

Hair loss is best treated at the earliest possible sign. However, if you’ve been worried about alopecia but can’t quite put your finger on what is causing it, you could be a victim of traction alopecia.
Traction alopecia is common for women who constantly pull their hair towards the scalp. Certain hairstyles are worse than others but braiding is particularly bad for it.
Pulling your hair tight over a prolonged period can not only cause the hair to fall out, but to scar the head too.
Another cause of traction alopecia is very long hair. Women who grow their hair to unusual lengths have also been known to suffer this condition due to the weight of theit hair and the gradual increase over time with no relief to the scalp.

If traction alopecia remains untreated for a long period of time and is allowed to worsen, the only method of treatment is hair transplant surgery.
In 2018, people are being more adventurous with hair styles and many people are growing their hair longer.
Other hairstyles that can cause hair loss are dreadlocks and braids with extensions attached.
Traction alopecia can affect both men and women although when caused by hairstyle, it tends to be more common in women. Hair loss through hairstyle often occurs at the hairline, around the side of your head near the temple regions.
It’s not just hairstyles that cause traction alopecia. It can also be caused by wearing something on your head, such as a helmet, very tight and for prolonged periods of time.
The helmet can sometimes be too close to ths scalp and can tug or rub constantly on the hair. Compressing the hair and moving it back and forth against the skull. People who experience traction alopecia through headwear include; motorcyclists, skiers, snowboarders and cyclers.

Some people also experience hair loss through chemicals. Hair dyes and relaxers are known for sometimes causing alopecia.
Regardless of the cause, the good news is that there is a treatment available that can ‘cure’ hair loss.
No longer do you need to be embarrassed or stressed with the thought of losing your hair or having to cover up a bald patch.
Both FUE and FUT are available to women and can be very successful in providing a permanent long term solutions to hair loss.
Transplants are also available for eyebrows.
