Soccer star Wayne Rooney might not seem like the most vain man we have ever met, but he must be sensitive about his thinning hair.
The Manchester United player, who is distinctly having a receding hairline than most 25-year-olds, has admitted that he has undergone a hair transplant.
He made the admission via Twitter after he was spotted visiting a specialist hair loss clinic in London’s famous Harley Street.
He tweeted: ‘Just to confirm to all my followers, I have had a hair transplant. I was going bald at 25, why not. I’m delighted with the result.
‘It’s still a bit bruised and swollen. When it dies down, you will be the first to see it. Anyone recommend any good hair gel? Ha-ha’.
The Sun had quoted a source as saying: ‘Wayne booked in for a two-day treatment. He’ll look five years younger.
‘Wayne has been thinking about treatment for some time. He asked to meet a model who had the procedure and was so impressed he booked in for a two-day treatment. Doctors have told him to expect significant improvement’.
Rooney is claimed to have previously tried pills and lotions with no luck, so is now thought to have resorted to follicle transplants.
Hair follicle transplantation involves the removal of a part of the scalp—like the back and sides of the head—containing active hair follicles and placing it on a balding area of the head. Hair transplantation is deemed to be a very expensive yet effective means of obtaining hair regrowth. This is usually the last resort for balding persons, including Hollywood stars, sports celebrities, and famous businessmen.

Aside from the high cost, hair transplants—though considered to be a minor surgery—still entail risks such as excessive bleeding and getting a ‘doll’s hair’ look. This hair restoration procedure, however, has proven to be successful for many.
