He also posed with his doctor at KSL Clinics, who previously did the hair transplant of radio DJ Dean McCullough before he entered the I'm a Celeb jungle last year.
Sharing before and after photos, Wil explained that, despite his young age, he has been dealing with a receding hairline 'for years' and wanted a permanent solution.
He wrote: "After many years of using various methods to help mask my hair loss, I've decided to go for a permanent solution.
"Even though this is a permanent solution it still requires consistent use of hair care products to maximise results. 💆♂️"

The seemingly candid image of the Duchess of Sussex, 43, is captioned "Weekend plans: pick, snack, repeat", along with a peach emoji. Advertisement 4 The picture is believed to have been taken at Meghan's estate in Montecito However, wild conspiracy theories have emerged from users on social media questioning what has actually been captured in the photo posted to Meghan's lifestyle brand The The intention behind the photo appears to be Meghan freshly pulling a newly ripe apricot from the branch. However, people have noticed the contrast in colour between the fruit she is holding in comparison to rest of the one's on the tree which are green. Advertisement Read more royals news One Reddit user asked: "I'd like to know, in what parallel universe does a single apricot ripen on a tree when the rest are still green?" Another responded sarcastically: "Yes, amazing isn't it, despite all the other fruit being green, plus she's 'picking' from inside the tree, where the fruit often take slightly longer to ripen, she's found a perfect, glowing, ripe apricot." Others have pointed to the way the apricot is not even connected to the tree, and The Duchess appears even to be holding the fruit upside down.

Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland's first 'shopping frenzy'. During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne's 'Better Value' bargains. Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 - starting with apples and oranges. The retailer said: "Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town. "Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong. "Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas." The retailer's first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960. They added: "In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed. "Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England." Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people. 4 It's the perfect dress to keep cool during hot weather Credit: 4 The cute midi dress has arrived in Dunnes Stores nationwide Credit: Garrett White - Commissioned by The Sun Dublin
