Wayne Rooney's New Look: Answer to Hair Loss Problems Affecting Youth
Hair
transplant procedures are gaining popularity. The best example to prove
the success of the procedure is the all-new look worn by the prominent
Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney following his hair transplant
surgery.
When Rooney first revealed that he�d got hair
transplant done for his faltering hairline, the football star was not
received well by the audience, according to a recent report by Metro UK.
The scene is changed now as the popular youth icon came out public
about the details of the surgery. Further, the star�s new look is
sufficient to convince the millions of youngsters suffering from
androgenic alopecia.
Men in the U.K. are no longer embarrassed
to go for a hair transplant surgery, reveals Metro UK. Celebrities like
Rooney has helped the community remove the stigma associated with such
procedures.
Dr Raghu Reddy, of London's Private Clinic of Harley
Street, who was quoted in Metro U.K, said, �The fact that high profile
individuals such as Wayne Rooney have been open about having treatment,
and that people can see the natural looking results for themselves has
undoubtedly contributed to the increased interest in the treatment.�
Celebrities
such as Louis Walsh and Gordon Ramsay have also undergone hair
restoration surgery recently. According to Shami Thomas, of surgery firm
Transform, it is common to see a sudden rise in the demand for these
procedures after celebrities reveal their treatments. Rooney's op is no
different, Thomas added.
Hair transplant procedures, though
expensive, are now pervading to the common lives. Several new
technologies are being invented to reduce the effort and time involved
in procedures like Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit
Transplantation (FUT). These innovations are also likely to reduce the
costs involved in these hair restoration procedures.
No doubt,
Rooney has inspired several men in the UK to opt for the hair
restoration procedure. According to Metro UK, in 2011 alone, hair
transplant enquiries have shot by 65 percent. Hair transplant has also
been rated as the second most popular cosmetic procedure for men in the
country.
The evidence: Harley Street clinic says five times as
many men in Yorkshire booked the procedure in 2011 compared to the
previous year. There was also an increase in Manchester, with six times
as many hair transplants carried out compared to 2010.

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.
