The clinic where cricket star Ben Stokes had his hair transplant is offering the world’s most expensive version of the operation for £100,000.
The price includes the operation and accommodation in a five-star hotel.
The Wimpole Clinic, in Harley Street, central London, whose clients include footballer Rob Holding, says the service is aimed at ‘the super-rich’ who want ‘ultra-high density hair’.
The treatment, known as follicular unit extraction, is performed under local anesthesia and has a success rate of more than 97 percent, the clinic said. Hair transplants typically cost between £1,000 and £30,000, according to the NHS.

Steep increase in the number of men with depression
Therapists have reported a dramatic increase in the number of men needing treatment for depression.
According to research from the British Association for Counseling and Psychotherapy (BACP), more than half of their members say they have seen an increase in the number of men with this mental health problem in the past year.
Experts say men often don’t show the same symptoms as women, making it harder to spot. While women with depression tend to be more noticeably sad, men often exhibit symptoms such as anger, isolation, and substance abuse.
“In my work with men over the past year, I have found that the number of men suffering from depression is steadily increasing,” says Anthony Davis, a BACP therapist. ‘We need to help men understand and recognize the symptoms.’
Research shows that people who work in the agricultural sector are six times more likely to die in a work accident than the average Briton. According to insurance company William Russell, there were 22 work-related deaths in the agricultural sector between 2021 and 2022. The company found that falls from height were the leading cause of all workplace fatalities – accounting for 29 deaths – followed by a vehicle collision. These can both result in the most common fatal injuries: concussion and internal injuries.
Women who receive a false positive result during a breast cancer screening are more likely to develop the disease. About three in 100 women get a false positive result after a mammogram, which is offered to all British women aged 50 to 70. This means they are being recalled for further testing which shows there is no sign of the disease.
But research from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden has shown that women who receive a false positive result are 60 percent more likely to develop breast cancer over the next 20 years. Experts say this is because a false positive result can occur when doctors mistake non-cancerous tissue growths – also called benign breast disease – for cancer. Studies show that women who have had this disease are more likely to develop cancer.
