Who Performs Your Hair Transplant at Our Sydney Clinic

Our experienced doctors oversee all PFP hair transplants.

Dr Adam Cho (MED0001200342 - Registered medical practitioner, medical director at Gro clinics) is our leading doctor in Sydney.

Dr Anwar Al-Abedi (MED0002571399 - Registered medical practitioner, general registration) has performed hundreds of procedures and is committed to natural-looking hair restoration.

Your initial discovery call will be with a hair growth advisor, followed by an in-clinic consultation, scalp assessment and a tailored treatment plan.

From there, either Dr Cho or Dr Al-Abedi will be there to finalise your plans, outline your new hairline and complete the procedure.

Doctors, not technicians

Your hair transplant is performed by an AHPRA-registered doctor. Your initial discovery call is with a Hair Growth Advisor, and technicians do not perform hair transplants with Gro Clinics.

For a more affordable option, our Melbourne clinic also offer procedures performed by an AHPRA-registered nurse.

Your scalp assessment, hairline design and treatment plan are still completed by your doctor, who oversees the full procedure.

Doctor Experience

Our Sydney hair transplant doctors have thorough training and many years of experience in the hair transplant industry.

Dr Adam Cho is the medical director of Gro Clinics and a Fellow of the Faculty of Medicine of the Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery. With a decade of experience in clinical governance, risk management and medical leadership, Dr Cho is focused on achieving sustainable, long-term results.

Dr Anwar Al-Abedi initially refined his skills in the United States. There, he completed a program endorsed by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) and developed by some of the world's most renowned hair transplant experts. Dr Al-Abedi is committed to enhancing his patients' appearance and restoring their self-esteem and quality of life.

All our doctors have extensive training in our hair transplant method. Our Precise Follicle Placement (PFP) technique is a refinement of our Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). The process is designed to deliver long-lasting and natural-looking results.

Gro Internal Training

Our Sydney hair transplant doctors are AHPRA-registered. The requirements to become an AHPRA-registered practitioner include a medical degree, registration as a doctor and specialised postgraduate training.

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.

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.

A non-surgical scalp treatment in progress at Gro Auckland

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

Dr Adam Cho, Dr Anwar Al-Abedi and all our Gro Clinics doctors also receive additional training in our approach to follicle placement and consistency of clinical care. We refined a PFP technique to focus on careful planning of follicle placement, with the aim of supporting natural, dense-looking hair. Through this training, we can deliver a more consistent model of care, including support before, during and after your procedure.

He approaches every case with the view that donor hair is finite and every graft has long-term value.

His focus is on making careful, honest decisions that protect future options and create results that still make sense years after the procedure.

How Gro Performs FUE in Sydney

Our hair transplant method is known as Precise Follicle Placement (PFP). It is a refined approach to Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) techniques. 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

This procedure is minimally invasive and designed to be long-lasting, with minimal visible scarring. The aim is to create natural-looking hair with density and coverage.

Hair restoration looks different for everyone. Get in touch with us to 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.

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.

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.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers are general in nature and don't replace medical advice. Outcomes vary.

BOOK A CONSULT

Do I need a consultation first, and does it cost anything?

Yes, all of our hair transplant procedures require a consultation to assess your medical history, hair health and suitability. We start with a free 15-minute discovery call before scheduling a consultation and scalp health assessment.

Am I a good candidate for a hair transplant?

You may be suitable if you have:

Male or female pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) with adequate donor hair at the back/sides.
Stable underlying medical conditions.

We assess your general health and medical history and perform a scalp assessment before determining suitability.

What determines how many grafts I need?

The hair growth doctor will determine how many hair grafts you'll need based on several factors. They'll assess the size of your bald or thinning areas, your hair thickness, the hair and scalp health of your donor area and your hair restoration goals. They'll also factor in your age, medical history and underlying factors to give you a thorough recommendation.

Do I get to have input in my new hairline design?

Yes, your input is a key part of the hairline process. Whilst our doctor will have the expertise to guide the process to a natural, long-lasting result, you will work together to define your goals.

What is the difference between PFP, FUE and FUT?

Precise Follicle Placement (PFP) method is Gro Clinic's refined approach to FUE hair transplants. It follows the same individual extraction technique as FUE hair transplants, but follows a careful method to place follicles in the natural angle and direction of your hair growth. It's designed to minimise visible scarring and natural-looking results.

Follicular unit extraction (FUE) involves individual grafts being removed one‑by‑one with small punches and no linear scar.

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) involves removing a strip of scalp to dissect into grafts for transplantation. It leaves a linear scar.

Gro Clinics do not perform FUT hair transplants.

Is the Gro practitioner actually a registered doctor?

Yes, all Gro Clinics doctors across Australia are AHPRA-registered. To be AHPRA-registered, health practitioners may need to demonstrate they have a medical degree, registration as a doctor or specialised postgraduate training.

Can I choose my doctor?

You may discuss your preferred doctor during your discovery call. Availability depends on the clinic, appointment dates and your individual treatment plan, and our team will confirm the options available before you book.

Should I have a hair transplant overseas instead?

Medical tourism may appear attractive due to lower upfront costs, but the full experience involves more than the procedure itself. A local clinic in Australia operates under Australian healthcare standards and provides the benefit of accessible, ongoing support throughout your hair restoration journey. From your initial discovery call to your procedure and recovery, having your care team nearby means you may easily ask questions, attend follow-ups, and access support when you need it.

Travelling overseas for a hair transplant also involves additional costs and logistics. Flights from Australia to destinations such as Turkey or Thailand may cost around $1,500, before considering accommodation, insurance, transfers, visas, and additional time away from work.

A hair transplant is a long-term decision, and careful planning is essential. Choosing local care allows time for detailed consultations, personalised treatment planning, and continued support as your results develop.

How long do hair transplants last?

Hair transplants are designed for long-lasting results. As the donor hair follicles are taken from healthier areas of your scalp, they may be more resistant to the hormone responsible for pattern baldness (DHT). The aim is for these follicles to improve hair density and coverage in the transplanted area.

Individual experiences vary, and hair transplants do not stop the natural ageing process.

Is a hair transplant covered by Medicare?

Hair transplants are considered cosmetic surgery and are generally not covered under Medicare. However, if your hair transplant is needed as a result of trauma, burns or specific medical conditions, it may be eligible for a medicare rebate under the reconstructive surgery classification. Check the Medicare site or consult with your doctor or dermatologist.

Will the hair transplant look natural?

Our hair transplants are designed for natural-looking results. We developed a Precise Follicle Placement (PFP) technique, which is a refined approach to the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique. 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.

Can I combine other hair growth procedures with a hair transplant?

Yes, depending on underlying conditions and suitability. We create personalised treatment plans and only recommend combined procedures suited for your hair health and restoration goals.

Can I take prescription hair medication alongside a hair transplant?

Yes, we may recommend prescription haircare alongside a hair transplant to support the survival and recovery of transplanted hair. However, prescription haircare may need to be paused for up to 2 weeks after your hair transplant to allow your scalp to heal.

Prescription haircare treatments are available following a consultation with a doctor to assess suitability.

Individual results may vary. A consultation is required to determine suitability.

Results referenced from clinical studies are population-level findings and do not necessarily reflect outcomes other patients may experience.

Ready to explore your options?
