News story: Footballer Wayne Rooney joins the list of growing celebrities who have undergone a hair transplant, however unlike the vast majority of men who resort to surgical procedures in order to enhance their physical appearance he has chosen to go public by Tweeting about it.
Analysis: Other well-known men such as Gordon Ramsey, James Nesbit and the Italian President Silvio Berlusconi have famously gone under the knife to restore their manes, but unlike Rooney never actively sought to go public on the matter. In fact, Rooney has been praised for his openness and the results of the procedure look very impressive. Despite Rooney showing a complete lack of embarrassment towards the issue, hair loss is extremely embarrassing for many men. For most the problem starts in their 20s and 30s, however, in some men receding can begin even earlier, and even though most men experience some degree of thinning or receding, losing your hair can lead to low self-esteem and even depression. The good news there are several effective treatment options available and if caught early it is unlikely you will have to resort to surgery. Treatments like Propecia are clinically proven to slow down hair loss and in some cases can prevent further hair loss altogether. Just one pill a day will keep hair loss at bay. For those who have not managed to start pharmacological treatment in time, there is always the option of visiting a prestigious Harley Street hair loss clinic just a Wayne has.
