The former model and current modeling agency owner and TV host Janez Vermeiren recently took to Instagram to proudly show off his new hair transplant and state how delighted he was with the results. He looks great in his new pics and says, “I honestly don’t know why I waited so long!” Janez was full of praise for the team that did the transplant, and vocally encourages anyone living with male pattern baldness, or androgenetic alopecia, to seek treatment.
Janez Vermeiren’s Hair Loss Story
In a frank and open vlog[i], Janez opens up about his experience with hair loss. He states it started when he was about 35, and the word he uses to describe it was “panic.” Many men feel this way, especially if their hair is an important part of their identity or appearance. This loss of confidence can be devastating for someone who works in the media. Considering that 42% of men aged 18 to 49 can expect to experience moderate to severe hair loss[ii], it’s no surprise that more people than ever are seeking out permanent, effective solutions.
Before the hair transplant option, Janez had tried over-the-counter treatments or cover-up powders, and when those weren’t as effective as he’d hoped, he resorted to concealing his receding hair with hats and caps, even when on modeling shoots.
A Successful Hair Transplant
Janez states that he’s in the media constantly, on Zoom calls, or meeting people face-to-face, and the receding hairline was really starting to hurt him.
“For males, hair loss is a huge issue,” said Janez. “It really breaks your confidence.”
He asked his wife what she would do if she lost her hair, and she immediately replied, “Get a hair transplant!” He realized that it was more than a viable option. The technology is available, it’s a painless procedure, and Janez is more than happy with the results.
He’s shared pictures and videos online and is excited to show his followers what it looks like once the new hairs have grown in more as the weeks progress. His story shows that anyone dealing with hair loss can take the action they need, seeking the right treatments to help get their confidence back.
