John Cena Details Post-Transplant Regimen and Regret Over Delay

By sharing his daily maintenance routine alongside his regret over postponing surgery, he challenges stereotypes around men’s self-image.

Overview

  • Cena maintains his transplant with a structured routine of red-light therapy, minoxidil, vitamins, shampoo and conditioner.
  • He regrets waiting nearly a decade to undergo the surgery, citing stigma around male cosmetic treatments as the main barrier.
  • He recalled that fan banners reading “The bald John Cena” at WWE shows drove him to research scalp health and ultimately seek treatment in November 2024.
  • Cena noted that almost eight in ten men experience thinning or baldness, and he hopes his candor will encourage others to pursue hair restoration without shame.
  • Throughout his WWE farewell tour ahead of a December 2025 retirement, he has used his platform to challenge stereotypes about men’s self-image and normalize cosmetic self-care.
