Who is Rio Ferdinand?
Rio Ferdinand is a famous former professional footballer who played as centre-back for some of the UK’s biggest football clubs including West Ham, Leeds United, and Manchester United. He’s also taken part in several World Cups, the Premier League and UEFA Championship League.
Rio Ferdinand had a huge international career and has often appeared in the spotlight, which is why it’s great to see him speaking so openly about his hair loss and treatment.
What procedure has Rio Ferdinand had?
At the start of December 2023, the news came out that Rio Ferdinand had a hair transplant at a clinic in Turkey. He appeared in promotional videos for the clinic showcasing the procedure and the process as part of his hair transplant experience. He gave the clinic a Manchester United T-Shirt in return and then appeared on TV speaking about his hair transplant.
Although we can’t confirm the specific type of hair restoration Rio underwent, we do know from the promotional videos that he had both a hair and beard transplant procedure.
Looking at the results, it seems his restorative treatment has rejuvenated his look and improved his own confidence around his appearance. The before and after shows a great transformation. In the video, he explains “I’m here to get my beard sorted out, I’ve got a couple of holes, a couple of patches.”
Although Rio went to Turkey for his procedure, you don’t have to go abroad for your own hair transplant. Choose Crown Clinic for your treatment in the UK, with clinics in Manchester and London.
