Alex was only 16 when he began to suffer from hair loss, leading to bullying from his peers. Now, at the age of 21 and after undergoing a hair transplant procedure, he says he has regained his confidence.
NEW LIFE: Alex said he feels he can ‘do anything’ now after undergoing a hair transplant However, now at 21 years old, after undergoing a hair transplant procedure, Alex has regained his confidence. He says, he no longer struggles with depression and social anxiety due to hair loss and a receding hairline.
"It’s definitely a burden off my chest because now I’m just dealing with normal issues a 21-year-old might have. I don’t have that additional thought of, what’s going on with my hair?” Alex said. “It’s a joke when it happens a few times, but when it’s for two years, and it’s the only thing people say, at that point it just becomes frustrating and mean, really, and disrespectful as well,” he said. Alex feels that his peers at school “created” an insecurity for him, and this led to him suffering with depression and social anxiety.He said his hair loss was the only thing on his mind, and he went through a “pretty dark time in his life” between the ages of 16 and 18.
“I feel like that just hit me at the wrong time because instead of going out of that shyness, that shyness turned into social anxiety. It made it difficult to grow as a person, to focus on myself, when constantly all I’m thinking about is what my hairline looks like and what people think of me.” After writing to the clinic and being interviewed by the team, Alex’s hair loss trajectory was monitored for one year before he underwent a follicular unit extraction hair transplant at the age of 18, which costs £8,000 to £10,000 on average. Alex did not think it would be “financially possible”, but his father supported him, paying for the treatment.
