Doctor Experience

Our Melbourne hair transplant doctors are medically trained and have many years of experience in a range of hair loss treatments for both male and female hair loss.

Dr Diana Phan is a highly skilled expert in hair restoration and non-surgical cosmetic procedures, with years of experience in personalised, natural results that enhance her patients' unique features.

Dr Kristy Truong is a facial plastic and reconstructive practitioner, with advanced fellowship training in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive procedures. She has also completed additional training with international experts in hair restoration.

Their experience at Gro Clinics includes extensive training in our hair transplant method. Our Precise Follicle Placement (PFP) technique is a refinement of Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), designed to deliver natural-looking, long-lasting results.

Training

Gro Internal Training

Dr Diana Phan, Dr Kristy Truong and our hair transplant nurses also receive additional internal training in our approach to follicle placement, focused on consistency of clinical care. We use refined Precise Follicle Placement (PFP) techniques that focus on careful planning and follicle placement, with the aim of supporting natural-looking density, angle and direction.

Through this training, we are able to deliver a consistent model of care, including supporting your recovery during and after your procedure.

Precise Follicle Placement

Precise Follicle Placement is our approach to the placement stage. Each graft is placed with a precision placement device that creates the site and places the follicle in one motion, so the angle, depth and direction of every graft are set by your doctor at the moment of placement rather than by an incision made beforehand.

Donor Area Preservation

Your donor area is finite and does not renew, so every graft taken from it is spent. Grafts are extracted individually and spread across the area rather than drawn heavily from one region, which keeps the donor even and leaves a second procedure possible later.

Gro Prescription Haircare

Careful Planning

Hairlines, crowns and full restorations are planned around how your hair loss is likely to progress, not just how it looks today. Donor preservation sits at the centre of that, because your donor area is finite and does not renew. The aim is a result that still looks natural in ten years, not only in twelve months.

Gro invested more than $500,000 in practitioner training and research and development last year, because maintaining a dedicated focus requires ongoing investment.

Gro Clinics Mission

Gro Clinics’ doctors are committed to providing Melboune clients with trusted expertise and hair restoration treatments to support natural, long-lasting results. Our method goes beyond the procedure itself.

Around our AHPRA-registered doctors sits a team built to support the whole process, before, during and after your procedure:

  • Free 15-minute discovery call with a Hair Growth Advisor
  • A tailored treatment plan, with scalp assessment and hairline design by your doctor
  • Your procedure performed by your treating doctor, never delegated to a technician
  • Careful donor area preservation, because your donor is finite and does not renew
  • Hair restoration as our doctors' only clinical focus, with no injectables or skin treatments alongside it
  • Follow-up for up to 18 months, with dedicated out-of-hours support

How Gro Performs FUE in Melbourne (Our PFP Approach)

Our Gro hair transplant method is known as Precise Follicle Placement (PFP), a refined approach to the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique. PFP involves:

  • Extracting individual follicles from the donor area
  • Detailed planning during implantation to align with the natural angle
  • Aligning with the natural angle, direction and spacing of your existing hair

The minimally invasive procedure is designed to be long-lasting, with minimal visible scarring. Its aim is natural-looking results that may improve hair density and coverage.

Hair restoration looks different for everyone. Find out what's possible for you.

Note that PFP is Gro's internal method under the broader FUE category and may not lead to different clinical outcomes. Results vary from person to person.

Our Method: Gro's Approach to Creating A Natural Hairline

We understand how important the new hairline is, so all hairlines are planned by our doctors. Our process in creating a new natural hairline balances a few factors:

Your hair restoration goals: You will work collaboratively with your doctor on the hairline you have in mind.

Your facial proportions: Your doctor has the expertise to guide the right hairline to suit your face.

Any long-term hair loss: Your hairline will be designed with your underlying cause in mind to support your long-term hair restoration plan.

The natural ageing process: The hairline will be designed with an aim to suit you today and as you age.

Designed to Minimise Visible Scarring

Our hair transplantation method focuses on singular follicular unit extraction and careful placements. We use a refined extraction punch to remove grafts from your donor area with the aim of minimal impact to the surrounding tissue.

Every graft is individually placed using single and multi-implanters, allowing us to control the exact angle, depth, and direction of each follicle. Our doctors are trained internally on this refined approach to FUE, which is designed to minimise visible scarring.

A balanced assessment of donor reserves and graft planning

Our approach to minimise visible scarring also aims to protect your donor area for future hair restoration procedures. On your in-clinic consultation, we will do a full scalp health assessment before recommending the number of grafts you may need.

We aim to balance your donor area with your transplant goals for long-term results. This approach is designed to improve hair density and coverage, whilst supporting your existing healthy hair.

Our Corrective Hair Transplant Repair Approach

If you are considering corrective work following a previous hair transplant procedure, an in-clinic consultation may assess suitability.

Your in-clinic consultation will first diagnose what went wrong, such as incorrect hairline design, unnatural angulation, poor density, visible scarring or donor depletion. If deemed suitable for a corrective hair transplant, we may use our PFP method to carefully re-graft to support natural-looking results.

What Happens on the Day of Your Procedure

Every Gro hair clinic follows the same personalised care. We've built a dedicated team around our doctors to take care of the details, so that our doctors can focus fully on your hair transplant procedure.

Preparation & Consultation
  • Your clinical team will check your vitals and hair health and give you your gown to change into.
  • We thoroughly wash your head and sanitise the scalp ready for the doctor.
  • Your hair transplant doctor will re-review your personalised treatment plan and outline the expectations.
  • They'll then map out the hairline that best suits your natural growth pattern and facial features.
  • Your hair may be trimmed or shaved in the donor and recipient areas before we begin the procedure.
The Extraction
  • The procedure is minimally invasive, with pain management options available. We may administer local anaesthetic to the donor area.
  • The doctor will perform the extraction, using a microscopic punch tool to carefully remove individual hair follicles one-by-one.
Implantation
  • We may administer local anaesthesia to the donor area. Our PFP method is designed to minimise visible scarring.
  • The doctor uses a specialised tool to implant the extracted follicles directly into the treatment area, to align with the natural angle and direction of your existing hair.

    This process may take several hours, depending on the number of grafts required.
Post-Procedure & Recovery
  • The doctor reviews your newly placed hairline and the team places a light, protective dressing if needed.
  • You will receive detailed instructions and an aftercare plan.

Recovery

Recovery, Shedding and Shock Loss

Our customer care continues long after the day of the procedure. Our doctors provide post procedure support with consistent follow-ups to monitor results and symptoms for 18-months post procedure.

The Gro hair transplant method is designed to minimise visible scarring and improve hair density and coverage with gradual improvement over time. However, as the natural hair growth cycle is disrupted during extraction and implantation, experiences during the recovery period may vary.

This temporary shedding phase is called shock loss. It happens to around 60 to 80% of people, usually in the first two to eight weeks after a hair transplant. The follicles remain healthy, and new hair growth may begin around three to four months.

Dr Adam ChoAHPRA No. MED0001200342 - Medical Director

The recovery period may last between 1-6 months, depending on individual factors. During this period, temporary shedding, known as hair transplant shock loss, may occur.

It's a completely normal physiological and stress-induced response that causes the follicles to prematurely enter the resting phase of the growth cycle. The visible hair falls out whilst the root remains intact, and the hair typically returns to a healthy growth cycle.

It may be called shock loss, but with the right guidance and support, your recovery journey won’t come as a shock with our ongoing care.

If you do experience any unusual symptoms, you can contact your clinical team immediately.

Local Vs Overseas

Choosing Local Care Over Travelling Overseas

Medical tourism can appear attractive at first, with lower upfront costs and package deals, but the full experience usually involves more than just the procedure.

A local clinic in Brisbane operates under strict Australian healthcare standards and provides the benefits of accessible, ongoing support throughout your hair restoration experience. Having your team nearby, in your own country, means that we can support you, arrange easy follow-ups and are accessible for your questions whenever you need us.

Doctor Perspective:

Now, for me, a hair transplant isn't a one-off event. It's two years surrounding it. You're not going to get that overseas.

You'll be seen on one day, sent back to Australia and be forgotten about. I've seen enough people who have travelled overseas and come back, the hair transplant hasn't gone as expected, and they can be very difficult to treat afterwards, because their donor, the area that we need to take hair from, has been brought to the point that repairing is difficult to impossible.

Dr David BallantyneMedical Practitioner - AHPRA No. MED0001212633

When you travel overseas for your transplant, you will also have to consider hidden costs and logistics.

Flights from Australia to Thailand or Turkey can cost around $1,500, and then you will need to add accommodations, insurance, transfers, visas and time from work. A hair transplant is a long-term decision, and must be carefully planned.

Choosing local care gives you time for detailed consultations, more personalised treatment planning, and more accessible, continued support as your results develop.
