Celeb appeal sees hair transplants jump in UAE

Hair transplant clinics in Dubai say they have seen a surge
in demand following admissions from celebrities that they have paid
for surgery to cover their receding hairlines. The city has seen
increasing numbers of medical clinics and plastic surgeons offering
hair transplant procedures, with specialists flying into Dubai to
capitalise on demand. Industry experts suggest much of this is on
the back of celebrities such as footballer Wayne Rooney and British
actor James Nesbit admitting to undergoing the procedure. Anybody
who has influence on the general public who comes up with a
statement saying they have had the surgery does make a difference,
said Dr Shehab Beg of the Dubai Hair Clinic, who performs 15-20
surgeries a month in Pakistan and Dubai. Rooney in June confessed
to his 768,869 Twitter fans that he had a hair transplant, telling
followers: I was going bald at 25, why not?
