Rafa Nadal and Wayne Rooney have both had hair transplants to restore thinning hairlines
Wayne Rooney has recently been in the news for his recent
hair transplant to cover up a thinning hairline. Rafa Nadal has taken some of
the focus off of Rooney with the help of his own hair transplant. Nadal is a
former number one world tennis star and he was admitted to the Madrid
specialist clinic for hair loss for a 10 hour follicular unit extraction
procedure. The 30-year-old was once known for his incredibly thick head of hair
and it's estimated that the newest procedure took around €7700 to complete.
While there has been no official reveal of the results, the
tennis star has been wearing a bandanna and hat quite often on the court to
disguise a bald patch which began to raise itself. Nadal commonly had this bald
patch but recently underwent a similar procedure to Rooney in which 4500 hair
follicles were transplanted under local anesthetic sedation.
This procedure generally involves removing follicles from
the scalp and then moving them through hair grafting to other areas of the
scalp to create a more even hairline. This is all natural hair that is being
implanted through the course of the procedure and the results should be
extremely natural. Wayne Rooney and the
similar results from the procedure look absolutely breathtaking so we will
likely be seeing Nadal in competition within the coming months not sporting his
usual bandanna or headband for the future.
If you are interested in some of the best hairloss solution
support available this is definitely the type or procedure that you should be
considering. Although it is expensive it offers some of the best permanent hair
loss support and the most natural results currently. If it's good enough for
top-tier athletes and celebrities, it must be the best!

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.
