Clinic behind Wayne Rooney’s hair transplant gets 5 requests a day for the ‘Rooney’
The clinic says Rooney’s public transplant helped drive demand, with about 100 procedure requests a day and thousands of surgeries completed.
Fifteen years after Wayne Rooney's initial procedure, Harley Street Hair Clinic still receives five requests daily for 'a Rooney,' a testament to the Manchester United legend's public transparency about his surgeries.
Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney underwent two procedures in 2011 and 2013, widely regarded as the most famous hair transplant ever. CEO Nadeem Khan credits Rooney with showing the public that hair loss could be fixed.
The London facility currently manages around 100 requests daily, reflecting a global industry projected to reach $16.2 billion by 2030. Surgeons have completed around 3,000 transplants since the initial surgeries.
Beyond high-profile cases, Nadeem values regular clients who save for four years to afford the surgery. The clinic also performs procedures for older men and transgender patients seeking specific hairline adjustments.
Nadeem emphasizes that hair transplants remain a serious medical procedure, urging patients to conduct due diligence instead of copying celebrity trends. "Nowadays people can forget it's still medical," he added.
