BALD people in East Lancashire have been invited to take part in the first British clinical trial for laser-assisted hair transplantation.

Up to 50 men with a male-pattern bald patch are being sought by husband-and-wife team Doctors Bessam and Nilofer Farjo, who run the Farjo Medical Centre of Advanced Hair Technology in Manchester and London.

They want to assess the value of grafting by laser compared to conventional scalpel techniques.

Anybody wanting to volunteer for the trial should contact Jason Saks on freephone 0500 118000.
