I have never been concerned about my age. When I hit 30, 40, 50 it did not matter a single thought to me as I was enjoying life more than I ever was. Ten years ago, I found myself married to a woman who was 25 years younger than me but age was never an issue between us. However, she looked young for her age and my hairline was beginning to thin and recede rapidly. From family history, I knew that within 5/10 years I would be completely bald on top. I knew that this would quickly age me from a visual aspect.

2 years ago I took one of the most important decisions in my life, when I decided to put my trust in HRBR to perform a hair transplant. It was an incredibly difficult decision for me, because I knew that the stakes were so high. I had, over the years, gradually come to accept my receding hairline, havinglived with it for more than half my life, but I have to say, it still niggled me. The risk I knew I was running was that, if, for any number of reasons, the transplant did not turn out well, I might be plunged back into the world of mental anguish that I had experienced some 30 years earlier, when I first started to lose my hair. Only this time it would be much worse, because it might not even be natural looking. I could become defined as ” that ol’ boy with the dodgy transplant” …
Read MoreAlthough I wish to remain anonymous, I did feel that it was important for me to tell my story regarding my hair loss as for over 10 years I have been fighting this battle and too well I know what anybody in my situation goes through. Who do you discuss the problem with – it is not easy. For me and like most people my hair is very important and to do what many people do and shave it off and accept the fact that I was losing my hair, was not an option I was willing to take – well not without a fight…..
Read MoreI was delighted that I actually made the move after such long deliberation to come and see you. It was getting to the stage which I’m sure, you and many of your other clients would agree, that the hair loss was having a huge impact on my self-confidence and self-esteem. It has got to the stage whereby it is now impacting on my work and how I would confidently present myself to my clients in the profession that I’ve found myself in.

Read MoreTo all the team and HRBR,Many thanks for your professionalism, kindness and hospitality. Your individual contributions are acknowledged and highly appreciated. I’m sure you are all aware of the difference you can make to patients’ lives. Continued success with your marvelous endeavors.
Read MoreA note to thank you and all at HRBR for my treatment last week. It was genuinely a good and easy experience. A long day, but not noticeable. Right from the start, when I met Elizabeth again (from my first visit) and she advised me that she would be my ‘companion’ that day, I immediately felt at ease. Elizabeth is the classic Angel, that you can always truly appreciate and totally rely on. She was always there for me, be it supportive words, a look form behind all the design team as they go about their work, always reassuring me she was there and so on. Her care and detail to attention, was simply superb.
Read MoreDear Mr Collins and team,Just a note to say to you all and say how impressed I have been not just with the results of my surgery but also the whole manner and set up of the service which is second to none.

I was in my late twenties when I noticed I was beginning to get thin on top. This wasn’t an issue for me at that age as I liked to keep my hair short (a number 1 or 2 at most) and I was fit and trim. As I passed into my forties I had very little hair (none on top) but again wasn’t particularly bothered as I was living in a hot climate at that time and short or shaved heads was pretty much the norm. In any event, I had (what I thought) was a young face so my hair, or lack of it, wasn’t an issue with me.
