Many men and women suffer from hair loss and opt to undergo hair transplant surgery. Celebrity hair transplants are often the most followed internationally as they are on our TV screens. In this article we explore what hair transplant surgery entails and provide examples of who has undergone the procedure.
Why FUE hair transplant surgery?
Follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplants are one of the most dynamic hair treatments in the world today, with a high success rate. This is a procedure which is able to recreate hair on the areas of your scalp where it has been lost. The result? Thicker hair in just eight to 12 months after the treatment.
Among the benefits of a FUE hair transplant are:
- Excellent precision
- Speedy recovery time
- Quicker healing than other hair transplants
- Minimal visible FUE scarring
- High graft survival rate.
So maybe it is no wonder so many famous people including footballers have chosen to have an FUE hair transplant. In this blog we take a look at the before and after hair transplant examples of celebrities who have probably had an FUE hair transplant:
Xherdan Shaqiri
Another footballer who has had surgery is, Liverpool star Xherdan Shaqiri wowed spectators in his return to football after an injury with a fully restored hairline. It is thought that he used his time off to have a FUE hair transplant, and thanks to the relatively quick recovery time, he was able to time his comeback to perfection; football and hair-wise! As in the case of Shaqiri, sometimes results can seem almost magical, such is the FUE hair transplant’s ability to match hair type and colour.
Dimitar Berbatov
Dimitar Berbatov, a renowned footballer during the 2000s, has also visibly undergone a hair restoration procedure. He had clearly a thinning and receding hairline and likely underwent the procedure at some point during his 30s.
Kyle Walker
Kyle Walker, renowned defender and England footballer, has also likely undergone a hair restoration procedure to his hairline.
Gordon Ramsay
Another Englishman loved around the world is Gordon Ramsay, who we are pretty confident has had a FUE hair transplant. The chef cut his teeth working long hours in some of the finest restaurants in Europe; a physically and mentally demanding job which could have contributed to his hair loss over the years. We think Ramsay is one of the best examples at how FUE can restore a hairline, via a technique which takes hair follicles from areas that are dense with hair, and relocates them to patchier areas.
Steve Carell
There is surely a place in this blog for an actor and comedian, so let’s touch briefly on The Office’s Steve Carell. His hairline improvements have won complimentary observations from fans, and if he did undergo a FUE hair transplant as we suspect, the results are a great example of the transplant’s longevity, as Carell is thought to have had the treatment way back in 2006.
David Beckham
Let’s start with one of the many footballers to revamp their hairline. David Beckham is much more than just a ball kicker – this former England captain is also a global style icon, so no wonder the graceful Londoner is believed to have undergone a hair transplant in 2018. ‘Becks’ may have benefitted from the natural results that a FUE hair transplant is able to achieve.
So there are some celebrities with enhanced hairlines that offer a testament to the effectiveness of the FUE hair transplant. Speak to the hair transplant clinic London can count on – call Treatment Rooms today on 020 8706 0076.
