Australia’s Most Trusted Hair Transplant Clinics.

Hair transplantation success is best measured in follicle survival rate, as in how many follicles will take in their new location and start gro’ing hair. At Gro, we consistently achieve amazing results for our clients with a follicle survival rate of over 90% (compared to industry rates that fluctuate between 50-90%). So, over 90% of the follicles implanted into the treatment area continue to gro there for life.

The new hairs start gro’ing around the 3-4 month mark. You’ll be able to see your new hairline right after the procedure, but the hair will soon shed before the permanent re-growth begins. Don’t be alarmed when the shedding phase happens, it’s a normal part of the process. As the hair follicles will be at different stages of the natural growth cycle, it takes about 12 months to see full results.

Hair transplants are permanent! The results will last as long as the follicles from your donor site. If you are prone to further hair loss, you could still lose hair in other areas, but this can be prevented with prescription treatment. Read more about Gro Online Care.

No, most of our clients are surprised to find out how comfortable they feel during the procedure. PFP is a minimally invasive microsurgery technique that involves no cutting, just tiny pricks with tools less than 1mm in diameter. Before the procedure, the hair transplant surgeon will give you pain medications and local anaesthesia to ensure you feel as little discomfort as possible.

Not everyone is eligible for hair transplant surgery. The most important thing is to determine the cause of hair loss first. Hair transplant surgery is most often used as a treatment for male and female pattern hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia. Sometimes it can also be used to correct aesthetic imperfections, such as an uneven hairline.

A hair transplant is also not possible if the hair loss has progressed to near full baldness, or the donor area is insufficient to support a transplant.

An FUE microsurgery (such as PFP, which is the method we use at Gro) is the most sophisticated and modern technique available. Precision in both hair follicle extraction and implantation yields consistent and natural results, every time.

The Precise Follicle Placement (PFP) technique has number of benefits, such as

- minimal risk of scarring,

- consistent and high follicle survival rates,

- adaptability to different hair and skin types,

- maximised control over the angle and direction of hair placement,

- ability to produce higher density

 In addition to the technique, it's important that the hair restoration is performed by a suitable and reputable doctor.

With PFP, no. Our PFP hair transplant surgery involves no cutting and no stitching, and therefore no scarring. However, other hair restoration clinics may use older methods, such as FUT, which can leave scars.

While it's possible to use body hair in a transplant, it's not a very popular option. Body hair tends to be finer, doesn't grow as long and can have a very different texture to the hair on the head. The hair on the back and sides of the head is the most ideal option for a hair transplant, so it's always best to act sooner rather than later to ensure there's enough donor hair available.

You’ll be awake, but the doctor will use local anaesthesia to numb the treatment area.

Local anaesthesia, so you will be awake for the procedure.

The typical down time is a week before you can get back office-based (non-physical) work, a month before doing any physical activity or job, and three weeks to a month before being able to wear anything on their head.

It's normal to experience redness and swelling in the areas where the procedure was done, and it may last from a couple of weeks up to a month. We have services we provide for our patients to help ease after-effects as quickly as possible.
