A lot of people don’t realise quite how much progress has been made in the area of hair transplant surgery. Development in techniques and equipment have made the procedure much less hassle and a lot more likely to succeed than in previous years. One sporting personality who has become something of a hair transplant evangelist after experiencing the procedure himself is former Maidstone United Manager, Lloyd Hume.
There is still a fairly prohibitive cost of £8-12,000 but as Lloyd points out the the costs need to be looked at in context as the results can be lifechanging and despite Michael Hassini from TOWIE undergoing treatment at the clinic last year Lloyd explains that 99% of procedures are not for celebrities. Interestingly Lloyd isn’t the only sporting personality to see the benefits of the growing hair transplant industry. Recently the Manchester Evening News reported that Ryan Giggs had backed ex England cricket captain, Michael Vaighan’s Knutsford salon. If only Wayne Rooney had known before his transplant last year he might have been able to negotiate a discount with his ex Manchester United team mate.
