I started loosing my hair gradually over the last 10 years and wanted to do something about it. I’m a very confident person so that wasn’t the issue but I looked better when I had more hair so I didn’t see why I should accept my condition. When you are getting a transplant you are getting an operation performed on the most visible part of your body so it was very important for me to get the right medical team. I didn’t look for the cheapest or the dearest. I looked for the best. What I expected was to find a medical team with facilities equal to any of the best hospitals around…
To the older men out there, I would like to share my experience with you.
I am an active 65 year old who took early retirement over two years ago and have focussed since on pursuing my many interests which include hill walking, cycling, golfing and gardening. Good health, fitness and appearance have always been important to me, and I now had more time to devote to these key areas.
While I had the energy levels of a 55 year old, a regular glance in the mirror reflected an image of an older balding man. Unfortunately I inherited my father’s genetic condition of “pattern baldness”, which left me bald on top, and greying on the sides. I have to admit that I was not happy with the image, and I had pursued many various remedies which came to nothing…
I have recently undergone hair transplantation at HRBR and would like to share my experience of dealing with HRBR. I’m 51 years old and about 5 years ago I noticed my hair was receding from the front. As time passed, the loss of hair became increasingly noticeable. I can’t say my confidence was affected, but I was interested finding out if my hair loss could be arrested or even reversed.
I researched hair loss on Google and found literally hundreds of sites offering drugs, laser guns, wigs, synthetic hair, human hair, you name it, it was on offer. The vast majority of products were accompanied with so much hype they didn’t seem genuine. I didn’t know where to turn. Then I came across a video on Youtube…..it was a Late Late show interview with Dr. Maurice Collins and some patients who had undergone treatment at HRBR. I was impressed by the depth of knowledge and sincerity of Dr. Collins. He wasn’t ‘selling’ or ‘hype-ing’ anything, but explaining the treatment available at HRBR, and the results to be expected. The fact that HRBR was in Ireland was a huge plus…
I started to loose my hair (noticeably) in my late teens – by the time I was in my early 20’s it had become very noticeable
Back then, late 1980’s, it was very uncool to discuss hair – thinking about it now, it was very uncool to have your hair shaved which of course is all the rage today
Having thought about it for some time and not knowing anything about hair restoration, I decided to have a ‘blade two’ hair cut done. In those day’s, I worked for a west end of London surveying company and I would have been client facing. Image was important!…
I am now 61 years of age. I had four children during my twenties and my thick, long hair started to thin and develop bald patches after my first child was born. This seemed to correct itself after my last pregnancy until I reached my forties when the problem become progressively worse, particularly affecting the top of my head and my hairline.
I found this difficult to handle and in spite of myself became a little obsessive about the situation, finding myself focusing on my hair whenever I looked in a mirror, something I avoided if possible. I also became very reluctant to be photographed…
Dear Dr. Collins,
I just want to thank you and your staff for transforming my life in the matter of a twelve hour period. Since my first initial contact with Hair Restoration Ltd, I felt confident that I was dealing with a thoroughly professional and capable organisation.
My hair began receding over a gradual period from the age of 21. Since then I became paranoid about my hair loss. I foolishly got plugs inserted, which left my appearance altered to such a state, that in later years and especially the last two years I became self-conscious about my appearance. Going to social occasions, swimming (wearing a swim hat) and even being out and about on a windy day were stressful and a logistical nightmare to me…
Its amazing how after my hair transplant how my self confidence has grown like my new hair. It has changed me as a person i now go three times a week to the gym.
I can look in the mirror and see my new hair makes me feel better inside and feel younger looking. Thanks to Dr.Collins and all the team in the clinic.
Regards,
My hair began to thin in my early 20’s. I first went to see Dr. Collins when I was 28.
I had tried all the treatments that the chemists had and none of them worked. So i decided to see a specialist. What i liked straight away about Dr Collins was he wasn’t pushing surgery. He said i could try Regaine and a Quarter of a tablet a day which i did for a while.Then i decided to bite the bullet and have the surgery. I got the loan out of the Credit union. That was 3 years ago and I have to say it was the best thing i ever did. I am more confident, look years younger and a lot happier looking in the mirror. Dr Collins and his team were Excellent.They are the best at what they do.
I did not take the idea of having a Hair Transplant lightly. Although I knew that I was loosing my hair, which had started to take over my life, and daily activities more than I had realized. However, it still took much consideration and research to finally take the steps to do something about it.
The hardest part of all, was finding the information on Hair Transplant Surgery. i.e The best Surgeon and Transplant Team.
The information I found was quite limited. Also I did not feel that this is a subject, that you can discuss with your peers. All I wanted was for my hair to look natural, once I had the transplant and not to look artificial in anyway…
My hair began to thin in my early 20’s. I first went to see Dr. Collins when I was 28 and I’m now 35 and have great hair and great self-confidence thanks to Dr. Collins and his team.
The process of restoring my hair started with medication, which made a significant improvement to my appearance and self-esteem and I successfully continued this treatment for 6 years before deciding on a Hair Transplant. The procedure was painless and stress-free and the amazing thing is that nobody (except me) noticed I had it done unless I told them, which I was happy to do as a result of the boost of confidence.
Now, 9 months after my transplant, my eyes are still opening to the wonderful experience of gaining a great level of self-esteem. Every day is a new delight.
Thanks,
