Wayne Rooney Ranks First Among Celebrity Hair Transplant Recipients
A survey was launched by the Crown Clinic a leading hair transplant clinic in Manchester, UK. The survey was meant to find whose hair transplant is the best among several celebrities who underwent the procedure. The results of the survey which compiled answers from 1,000 people clearly spelt Wayne Rooney as the winner.
The England and Manchester United striker raced past James Nesbitt and the Embarrassing Bodies doctor Christian Jessen in the survey. Dr.Christian Jessen was voted the third best top hair transplant recipient.
Rooney is one among celebrities who have come out of the closet to reveal the fact that they went for a hair transplant procedure instead of hiding it. Loosing hair at a young age and not wanting to hide under hats, these young celebrities have come out in the open.
According to Surgeon Asim Shahmalak of the Crown Clinic this will encourage more young men to go for hair transplants instead of sulking about hair loss and becoming depressed and introverted. Regaining hair will boost their confidence and help them perform better in their education and professions, feel experts.
Dr. Shahmalak is the hair loss expert on TV’s Embarrassing Bodies who lauded Rooney’s move to go for a hair transplant. He said that since Rooney went for the procedure at a very young age he may soon have to go for a second sitting.
Other celebrities who have improved their looks with their transplanted locks are celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey and Calum Best who went for a hair transplant procedure to advance their hairlines.
The respondents of the survey voted for Prince William as the man who would benefit the most from a hair transplant with actor Jude Law standing second who was also showing significant hair loss and a good client for hair transplant.
Dr. Shahmalak feels that William’s baldness was worse than Prince Charles’s. If he went for a transplant then even more youngsters will enthusiastically approach hair restoration clinics. Other celebrities who require hair transplants were Declan Donnelly, Chris and Johnny Vaughan according to survey respondents.
The list of celebrities who successfully gained hair includes Elton John, Louis Walsh, Shaun Williamson and celebrity hair stylist James Brown.
Crown Clinic has hair transplant clinics in Manchester, London and Dublin. The clinics boast of state of the art equipment and optimum customer service. Hair transplant involves the FUT
technique where permanent hair-bearing skin from the back and/or sides of the scalp (donor area) is used.
By stereoscope microscopic dissection, the tissue is dissected into follicular unit grafts (containing 1-4 hairs) and multi-follicular unit grafts (containing 3-6 hairs each). These microscopic grafts are then transplanted into the bald or thinning area of the scalp called recipient area. Care is taken to transplant at same angle as the other hairs to give a more natural look.
Dr. Christian Jessen, Calum Best, David Fleeshman, Peter Waterfield and Adeleh are celebrity clients of Dr. Shahmalak.

Frequently asked questions about hair transplant procedures
How much does a hair transplant cost?
Hair transplants can vary in price based off of the area in the world that you are interested in getting a hair transplant as well as the size of the area where you may need a hair transplant. Experienced doctors in the United States will often charge some of the highest prices for a hair transplant worldwide and this is why so many travelers make the move to other parts the world like Turkey, India, Thailand, Mexico...etc for their hair transplants.
Will a hair transplant hurt?
Although hair transplants may look like a particularly
unpleasant or painful experience is actually very little discomfort involved
with the surgery itself. Hair transplants are always done under an anesthetic so there's absolutely zero pain during the treatment itself. Many people actually relate the process as being very similar to going to the dentist for filling or root canal. Mild pain can persist over the course of postop treatment but he generally just resumes for a few days.
Who can deliver the best surgery?
It's usually best to consider working with surgeons who have and IAHRS certification or international alliance of hair restoration surgeons recognition. IAHRS can often deliver recommendations for the best surgeons in each particular area.
Is this scarring noticeable?
Any type of hair transplant will require the use of incisions throughout the scalp. There can also sometimes be a small scar from the donor area towards the back of the scalp. Asking to look at photos of the surgeon's previous work will help you to see roughly how bad the scarring could be. In most cases an experienced professional can limit the look of scarring and noticeable marks from the surgery.
How long does it take for the hair to grow?
In most cases hair growth will start within eight months and you can start to see a full effect from the hair transplant after a full year. The initial signs of growth can usually start between 3 to 4 months after the surgery.
Are the results permanent?
The hair follicles that are transplanted are generally the ones which are genetically resistant against the symptoms of baldness. As long as you receive hair loss treatment later in your life after the symptoms of balding have started to subside, you can have a better chance at permanent results.
While everyone know you've had surgery?
If you want to limit the chance that people may find out about your surgery it's important to give at least three weeks of healing as the surgical area will be affected and red just after surgery. After around a month of healing it can look far less noticeable. You could consider wearing a hat while time passes or opting for some extra time off if possible.
How long should I rest after surgery?
It's recommended to rest for at least a few days after surgery so that your body can recover. Trenton to over exert yourself and limit sexual activity, running in the gym for around 10 days after surgery.
Is it possible to lose more hair as a result of surgery?
There is always a chance of shock loss which happens when the hair is weak and miniaturizing after the surgery. As long as the surgeon is choosing the correct hair follicles and performing the surgery well it's possible to minimize the chance of this happening however.
Will I need another hair transplant?
The need for another transplant really depends on the individual. With a solid foundation surgery and working to potentially bolster results with drug therapy, you can improve the stability of the hair that was transplanted as well as prevent further loss. Getting a hair transplant early
on in your 20s or early on in life could lead to needing long-term transplants as hair loss can be progressive.
