Phil Bardsley has always had a strong presence in the world of football, making the beautiful game a lifelong passion and gaining respect from fans across the UK. But when Phil’s hairline started receding, he decided to take action and went all in for an Este UK Robotic DHI Hair Transplant to restore and fill in his hairline. At age 40, hair loss is not unusual for men like Phil, as this is around the age when male pattern baldness can start to become much more noticeable.

Why Did Phil Bardsley Have Robotic DHI Hair Transplant?
Looking at Phil Bardsley’s before and after hairline photos, you can see that hair had receded from the temples, with hair thinning also starting along the forehead line. Phil made a good call by dealing with the issue sooner rather than later, and eight months on, his hairline looks bold and natural. You would never guess Phil Bardsley had a hair transplant treatment.
So, what type of hair loss did Phil Bardsley have? Hair receding, particularly from the temples, can be a strong indication of male pattern baldness, commonly known medically as androgenetic alopecia.
Like many men in their 30s and 40s, Phil saw an opportunity to use robotic hair grafts to fill in the temple area with fresh hair follicles while increasing hair density across his hairline. Hairline lowering and hairline restoration have become increasingly common and accepted hair regrowth treatments, particularly in the world of sports.
Many top athletes have turned to surgical hair restoration to address lost hair. Footballers, starting with David Beckham, should be applauded for helping get the ball rolling when it comes to advanced hair care and the growing self-care trend for men.
What is Male Pattern Baldness?
Did you know that one of the most common causes of hair loss is male pattern baldness? Male androgenetic alopecia is often a hereditary condition that can also be influenced by hormone levels and ageing. The hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a derivative of testosterone, can contribute to this type of hair loss in men. DHT affects susceptible hair follicles by causing them to shrink, producing finer and shorter hairs over time.
As mentioned, pattern baldness in men often starts around the temples and can continue across the hairline, sides and crown of the head. For some men, hair loss eventually creates the familiar horseshoe-shaped pattern, with hair remaining around the sides and back of the scalp while thinning progresses on top.

When Men Go Bald: What Is the Male Pattern Hair Loss Timeline?
Male pattern hair loss can happen at different ages, but the condition is progressive and is strongly influenced by genetics and hormones. While many men first notice changes in their 30s, hair loss can begin much earlier.
- Late teens to age 20: Around 20–25% of men may experience some visible hair thinning or a receding hairline.
- Around age 30: Roughly 30–50% of men may notice noticeable hair loss, with changes often beginning around the temples or hairline.
- At age 50: Around 50–85% of men can show visible signs of male pattern baldness. Globally, more than half of men are estimated to experience androgenetic alopecia by this age.
- By age 70: Male pattern baldness becomes even more common, affecting up to 80% of men.
The good news is that men now have more options for managing hair loss and maintaining healthy hair. Proven treatments can include medications such as Minoxidil and Finasteride, as well as in-clinic options such as platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP and PRF), stem cell hair growth therapy, exosome hair therapy, and laser light hairtreatments for the scalp.
These treatments can be useful for supporting and maintaining existing hair. However, once hair follicles have been permanently lost, they cannot simply be stimulated back into growth. For men experiencing significant hair follicle loss, Robotic Hair Transplant is now an advanced hair restoration option designed to restore lost hair and improve overall hair density.
