Hair transplants and face lifts are two of the most popular procedures for those seeking a younger, fresher look for interviews.

A spokesman for Why Go Abroad said: “At the height of the recession, we are not – as some might assume – seeing a decline in interest in cosmetic surgery at all. In fact, we are seeing a wider range of people looking into it.

“One of these growth areas is among men and women who are in the job market and competing with much younger professionals. Quite often job hunters come to us to help them recapture a youthful appearance.”

Hair transplants

In particular, many people find that male pattern baldness can be an ageing condition and therefore hair transplants are proving especially popular.

Today’s transplants use the patient’s own hair to recreate a natural hairline, banishing the image of unrealistic wigs and poor quality weaves for good.

The surgeon will carefully weigh up the shape of the patient’s face and their age, as well as any likely future hair loss, before deciding on the total number of grafts required for the procedure.

Hair transplant prices in the UK start at £3,000, while face lift prices start at £4,595. As more and more people are finding out, that’s a small price to pay for your dream job!

Half of 16 to 21-year-old girls asked said they would consider cosmetic surgery as an option to changes their looks… and there can be few greater endorsements of plastic surgery than receiving Girlguiding UK’s approval!

Why Go Abroad first highlighted this trend months ago, and a spokesman for the company said interest from younger people has continued to rise.

“Where once the majority of our procedures were face lifts, boob jobs or breast uplifts for women who were getting older, now we are seeing an increase in younger women and men turning to cosmetic surgery,” he said.

Change in cosmetic surgery trend

“Although our GMC-certified surgeons don’t operate on anyone under 18, we are certainly seeing a rise in procedures among young mums and those in their early 20s. As a result, treatments such as tummy tucks and liposuction are on the rise.

“Among young men, hair transplants remain popular as male pattern baldness is a real problem for some men in their 20s.”

And it’s perfectly normal to have queries. In fact, at Why Go Abroad, we encourage people to question their surgeon about the procedure and likely results, which is why we hold pre-surgery consultations to photograph every patient’s hairline and assess each case individually.

So what are hair transplant patients’ most common concerns?

The first query is usually: what are the likely results of hair restoration surgery?

Although the precise results vary from patient to patient, the final result is growing, natural looking hair. And you can forget any outdated thoughts of dodgy wigs or crazy hair weaves, your own hair is used so the effect is totally natural.

Another common concern is about the side effects of a hair transplant.

The answer to this is simple – initially there will be a little bleeding from the affected area (which is perfectly normal) and you will need to wash your hair every day for a week. After that, just sit back and wait for the hair growth!

Often women ask if they are eligible for a hair transplant – and the answer is ‘absolutely’. Although hair restoration surgery is more commonly carried out on men suffering from male pattern baldness, women with thinning hair can also be treated.

Finally, the cost? Hair transplant prices vary depending on the number of grafts required. However, Why Go Abroad offers affordable transplants from just £3,000.

Sehwag joins the ever-lengthening list of sportsmen who have had the procedure, with Australian spin king Shane Warne and English snooker pro Jimmy White among the most high profile hair restoration patients.

Previously famed for his obsessive wearing of hats, caps and headscarves while playing cricket, the 31-year-old opening batsmen was absolutely clear about the importance of hair transplants.

“The advertisements do not go to bald people, everyone wants to have hair. Everyone wants to shampoo and style their hair and I am no different,” he said.

Facts and figures

Celebrities and sportsmen are not the only ones to suffer from hair loss – nearly all men suffer some form of baldness during their lives.

A spokesman for hair restoration surgery experts Why Go Abroad said: “Hair transplants are become better, cheaper and, as a result, more common than ever.

“You don’t have to be a celebrity to afford expert hair restoration surgery, but the number of famous men who are relying on it shows just how effective the treatment can be.”

Hair transplant prices are totally affordable in the UK and start at £3,000.

Traditionally, there was very little men could do about it, as neither unconvincing hair plugs nor comical wigs, were enticing options. However, all that has changed today as modern hair transplants offer a totally natural look.

And this transformation in hair restoration surgery is especially exciting for people who have a history of male pattern baldness in their family.

Male pattern baldness explained

The condition affects everyone in a slightly different way but, usually, it starts with the hairline receding at the front. This is followed by the hair thinning on top, leading to a bald patch in the middle of the scalp.

The receding hairline and the bald patch eventually meet, leaving a ‘horseshoe’ of hair around the back and sides.

Facts and figures

Nearly all men have some form of baldness by the time they are in their 60s, however, around three in ten 30 year olds also suffer male pattern baldness. For some people, it can even start in their late teens.

It usually takes between 15 and 25 years to go bald but, again, in some cases it can take less than five years.

A spokesman for hair restoration surgery experts Why Go Abroad said: “While older men have always been interested in hair transplants, they are now becoming especially popular among younger men, who can see that they don’t need to go bald in their 20s.

“Although we don’t offer the treatment to anyone younger than 18 years old, we are seeing increasing numbers of enquiries from younger men and, as the hair transplant techniques improve, we expect this rise to continue.”

Hair transplant prices are affordable in the UK and start at £3,000 and for more information visit Why Go Abroad.

Once patients have seen the evidence for themselves, and realised that it could make them look younger and transform their self-confidence, the second question is usually, ‘but how much will it cost?’

The answer, from Why Go Abroad, is ‘not as much as you think!’

Hair transplant prices start at just £3,000, but it isn’t just the price that is attractive.

Why are hair transplants so popular?

Why Go Abroad has seen a surge in hair transplant procedure requests, and there are several reasons for it:

• Cheap hair restoration surgery is often available overseas, but Why Go Abroad offers affordable hair transplants in the UK too – just choose what is most convenient for you!
• Why Go Abroad’s experts guide you throughout – a specialist will initially photograph the affected area and discuss your needs with a hair transplant surgeon to decide exactly how many grafts you will require
• The procedure transplants your own hair for totally natural results
• Upto 1,500 grafts can be transplanted at one time and the whole process can be completed under local anaesthetic, within a day

Although hair transplants are particularly effective at tackling male pattern baldness, hair-loss surgery is also available to women who suffer from female hairloss (or, more commonly, thinning hair).

Visit Why Go Abroad for more information or to request a brochure.

Hair restoration enquiries and procedures are both up and hair transplant specialists Why Go Abroad have put together the following advice for anyone considering the treatment:

• Yes, you can have a hair transplant – they’re available to men and women, over the age of 18, who suffer from balding or thinning hair
• Yes, it’s a straightforward procedure – a hair transplant only requires a local anaesthetic and there’s no need for an overnight hospital stay
• Yes, it is affordable – depending on the extent of your hair loss and the number of grafts you need, the hair transplant cost may differ
• Yes, it will look totally natural – Why Go Abroad only uses your own hair from a ‘donor area’ of your head to ensure the results are natural.

How does a hair transplant work?

With prices from just £3,000, hair-loss surgery is increasingly popular but many people are still unsure about the actual process.

First of all the ‘donor hairs’ are taken from the back or side of the head, then separated into individual follicles and transplanted into the bald patch.

Initially, some bleeding is perfectly normal and the hair may not grow in its new position for some weeks but, eventually, normal hair growth resumes and it will require grooming and cutting as usual.

This is nowhere more true than in the area of hair restoration. Cosmetic surgery specialists Why Go Abroad offers natural hair transplants from just £3,000.

Even so, it is one of the most commonly asked questions: ‘is a hair transplant worth the money?’

While the answer is clearly down to personal opinion, the effects of Why Go Abroad’s natural hair transplants are a matter of fact.

Results of hair transplants

Replacing thinning hair and bald patches with a natural hairline can be one of biggest confidence boosts a man can have.

Of course many men are very happy being bald – and why shouldn’t they be? – but the quality of Why Go Abroad’s hair transplants means that anyone losing their hair now has a genuine option.

From prices of just £3,000, you could have your hairline back, which can often make you look years younger and feel far more confident in your appearance.

A spokesman for Why Go Abroad said: “It may only be a day-long procedure, but many patients claim it’s truly life-changing in terms of the long-term benefits.

“And it’s not just for those who are terrified of losing their hair.

“We see many people who are totally relaxed with their thinning hair or male pattern baldness, but, when they see the quality of a hair transplant, they think ‘why not have a full head of hair again?’”

Whatever your thoughts, it’s well worth speaking to the experts to hear what a hair transplant could do for you.

For some people, male pattern baldness is a source of real embarrassment and can have a devastating effect on confidence. Fortunately, today’s hair transplants can be a complete solution to the age-old problem.

Comedian John Cleese and cricketers Graham Gooch and Shane Warne are just a few of the famous names who have come out and admitted they’ve had hair restoration treatments, while numerous other celebs are suspected of undergoing hair transplants.

And just as male pattern baldness can affect anyone, so natural hair transplants are now available – and affordable ­– to all, not just the rich and famous.

What is male pattern baldness?

Pattern baldness describes the usual process of hair loss that many men suffer at some point in their life. It occurs when individual hair follicles shrink, so that each new hair grows thinner and thinner, until they can’t grow at all.

During a hair transplant, the surgeon will take ‘donor hairs’ from another part of the scalp, then separate them into individual follicles, before transplanting them into the affected area.

This creates totally natural looking results whether you have thinning hair or a complete bald patch.

Hair transplants are a minor procedure, taking less than a day to complete, though the exact time depends on the number of grafts required. Hair transplant prices start at just £3,000 from experts Why Go Abroad.

Thinning hair can also affect women and Why Go Abroad offers hair restoration solutions to ladies too. For more information, visit Why Go Abroad and request a brochure or speak to a specialist.

The so-called noughties saw a noticeable rise in hair restoration surgery but the ‘tens (or ‘teens, depending on who you listen to!) are predicted to see hair transplants boom.

For anyone considering the process, specialists at Why Go Abroad are happy to dispel l some common myths about the treatment. However, the most important thing to note is that now we are well and truly into the 21^st Century, transplants are not only affordable (with hair transplant prices from just £3,000) but natural.

In what way are hair transplants natural?

Why Go Abroad advisors firstly take a photograph of the affected area so experts can study and agree on the correct number of grafts for you. Whatever the extent of the surgery, hair transplants use ‘donor hairs’ from your own scalp to fill the bald area.

The ‘donor hairs’ (usually taken from the back of the head) are separated into individual hair follicles to create a totally natural hairline.

The process itself is simply half-a-day’s surgery under local anaesthetic while the results are long-lasting and natural.

The majority of Why Go Abroad’s hair restoration patients are men seeking to tackle male pattern baldness but women affected by hair loss and hair thinning can also be treated via a hair transplant. Eyebrow transplants are also available for those with very fair or almost non-existent eyebrows.
