Louis Walsh Hair transplant

[chrisdav]

X Factor judge Louis Walsh has ?30K hair transplant after Simon Cowell jibe - mirror.co.uk

 

I found this earlier today and thought i would post it.

 

Never actually heard of this clinic, but the clinic is charging 10 EURO per fut graft (use XE to translate to your currency) 13.20$ 8.46 GBP

 

I don't believe their results warrant this high pricing for fut and i am confident the majority of surgeons listed on here are better and more reasonably priced.

 

The reason for posting is no doubt, their enquiries will increase like any surgeon who has the exposure of performing a 'celebrity hair transplant' but potential customers need to know there are better options available.

Why do all celebs pay 30k for their hair transplant? Louis Walsh = 30k, Wayne Rooney = 30k, Gordon Ramsay = 30k, Jason Gardiner = 30k, this all sounds like a load of bs, I think the papers make the prices up.

[Sparky]

And I don't think Gary Barlow needs an HT, he's thinning a bit at the crown, and he's over 40, he seems fine with it.

[chrisdav]

It's the British tabloids, what do you expect

[mars]

the price is crazy,their are doctors with far more experience charging less than half the price,dr collins is taking advantage of people imo.

[chrisdav]

Exactly right Mars.

 

I don't really watch X-factor etc but my family do, so i don't know what his hair looked like before and how many grafts he would need or has had.

[mars]

dr collins does small sessions from what ive seen,around the 1200 mark,louis walsh had a subtle change at best

[bonkerstonker]

Celebs shut down the whole clinic So no other patients are there at the same time so they have to pay for loss of earnings to the clinic.

 

I know because I'm famous in the uk ha ha ha.

Yeah me too

 

 

But not disclosing this fact in the papers gives the impression that its what an ht costs.

Sparky very true. I suppose the papers glamerise it to make it look like only celebs can afford.

Hair Restoration Blackrock clinic is well known in Ireland and do charge ?10 a graft for both FUE and FUT. I think the charge for a consultation is ?250, but you get this back if you go ahead with the procedure. lol

 

Below is what it says on their cost page,

 

“The cost of carrying out a quality hair transplant is considerable as the process requires a team of highly skilled medical staff and technicians. On any one transplant surgery there may be up to 18 technicians, nurses and surgeons working on each patient. There is no low-cost method of providing a permanent solution to hair loss by surgical means. Therefore, if cost is the principal factor guiding your decision about whether or not to have a hair transplant, we strongly advise that you do not have surgery but that you consider the medical treatments instead. Having an inferior quality hair transplant carried out can have serious, negative and long-term consequences. As one patient put it: "You never remember the price of a good job and you never forget the price of a bad one".

 

The price per transplanted follicular unit graft is ?10

 

Please note the cost per transplanted graft above does not relate to the transplant of scars, eyebrows and repair work. These patients will be quoted on a case by case basis and a quote will be provided at the consultation with the consultant surgeons.”

[chrisdav]

That makes them sound even worse Keithh

[Sparky]

is this 10 euros or 10 sterling? either way its a ridiculous price.

[keithh]

Sorry. 10 euro a graft.

 

Pat visited them in 2007. See link below. Scroll down to Hair Transplant Clinics in Ireland

[chrisdav]

Well it looks as though Pat knew this ages ago

[Sparky]

Yeah, 10 euro's is too much.

[keithh]

Check this link out.

 

Car dealer forced to pay doctor ?17,000 for hair transplant - National News - Independent.ie

[Radius]

Yeah, 10 euro's is too much.

 

For sure! The quality doctors in Belgium (Feriduni, Bisanga, Devroye, Mwamba) only charge half that price or less (Prohair Clinic a lot less).

[bigcow]

Im pretty sure Louie Walsh and Rooney etc who have gone public didnt pay a cent to the clinic so they could plug the clinic and dupe folk into thinking they should pay 10 euros a graft

dont be fooled by celebs

[richie48]

Definatly bigcow , I agree , these "celebs" will deffo have the proceedure for free , and then boast about it in the media afterwards .

 

Can you imagine just how much money a page in one of the national papers would cost for an advertisement ..............

 

When you can bug a "celeb" for a free proceedure , then get his or her press adgents to slip it to the papers !

 

massive coverege for peanuts , unfortinatly it's not massive coverage on the scalp hahahahahaaha

 

richie

[iwokeuptoabaldpatch]

yeah its always a ?30 K hair transplant to the gutter press.

 

I think they deliberately make up such a figure, to emphasize the vanity and ego these celebrities must have to pay more than average yearly income on such things....thats their angle....

[jessica0125]

There are now so many hair transplant surgeons which means there are so many options. I would not recommend that one should just go by the popularity of HT of celebrities, but also have a look at people who did theri HT from some other surgeon and have produced excellent result. Don't you all think so ?
