Interesting article in the Stourbridge news about UK haiross hotspot research.
Interestingly for me personally my local town has hairloss searches in the top 10 but not hair transplant searches.
HALESOWEN is one of the UK’s major hotspots for hair loss - and that's the bald truth, according to new research.
People from the town were more likely to Google the term ‘hair loss’ than almost anywhere else in Britain, coming sixth in a British top 10.
And, remarkably, Halesowen's receding residents were also among the most likely to Google the term ‘hair transplant’.
The data comes from analysis of Google Trends stats going back five years.
London boroughs Ilford and Hayes and Midlands cities Birmingham and Leicester, plus Luton, were the only five towns or cities to record more 'hair loss' searches than Halesowen.
Dr Farjo, founder of the Farjo Hair Institute with clinics in London and Manchester, explained: “There are many different reasons why someone might end up turning to the internet for advice about hair loss.
“You can suffer thinning hair due to illness, stress, weight loss and even an iron deficiency.
“But the most the most common cause of hair loss is a hereditary condition called male or female ‘pattern baldness’ - what’s known as 'Androgenetic alopecia’ and is simply down to genetics.
“And whatever the reason, losing hair can be extremely upsetting, particularly for those who start balding at a young age.
“For most people their hair is part of their identity. It signals to others who they are. When that’s lost, many feel their identity is also stripped.
“Thankfully, the stigma surrounding both hair loss and subsequent hair restoration treatment is diminishing.
“And conversations about hair transplantation are now almost as commonplace as for other forms of cosmetic treatments, such a breast augmentation and even Botox.”
“According to stats from the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, there were 225,779 procedures, worldwide, in 2006. That figure increased to 635,000 ops in 2017 - a huge rise.
“There are many factors driving the trend, but the increasing number of celebrities talking about their surgical hair restoration is certainly contributing to the popularity of hair transplants.
“And this transparency and honesty when it comes to talking about transplants is helping to diminish some of the stigma and taboo. It's no longer the 'embarrassing' procedure it once was.”
Hair loss is said to affect more than a third of men aged 30 and over - and there’s no way to cure male pattern baldness. Hair transplant surgery typically costs around £7,000.
