The Geordie Shore starlet has been advised that she will need four treatments and regular fortnightly visits to the clinic to achieve the best results from her transformation. She added: "It's basically for people, men can get it, I've not really seen that many women get it. But obviously women can get it too. It's for people that kind of have alopecia, either traction alopecia, going bald or just have hair loss in general. Bald patches... It's kind of like a form of tattoo."
Abbie shared her personal struggle with baldness back in 2020. Speaking to The Sun, she revealed: "I started to get thinner, and not just in weight. I noticed my hair was coming out in clumps too. Then one night, I was looking in the mirror and gasped. I had huge bald patches all over my head. I knew it wasn't from hair extensions because I hadn't been wearing them at that time it must be a form of the condition Alopecia that affected Gail Porter."
