Actor James Nesbitt and comedian Rob Brydon are both among the UK celebrities thought to have had hair loss surgery in the past few years.
Their cases highlight the shift in culture that is taking place throughout the cosmetic surgery industry.
No longer perceived as solely for the image-conscious A-list elite in Hollywood, hair restoration treatments are being routinely undergone in the UK, from small-screen actors to our friends and colleagues at work.
Hardly surprising then, that with something like 75 per cent of men affected by hair loss at some point in their lives, hair transplant specialist Why Go Abroad has seen an increase in queries.
Any other reasons for a rise in hair transplants?
As well as people being more aware and, frankly, less embarrassed about discussing hair loss surgery, there are other reasons for its growth in the UK (if you excuse the pun).
First of all, hair transplants are more realistic than ever! Male pattern baldness and female hair loss can both be tackled equally well, with remarkable results.
Today’s procedure involves removing hair from the back and sides of the head, separating this into follicles and then inserting it into the bald area. The outcome is growing, natural looking hair and a restored hairline.
Secondly, UK hair transplant prices start at £3,000 from Why Go Abroad, making it more affordable than ever before.
