In 2014, Gro Clinics opened its first hair transplant clinic in Sydney, aiming to change how Australians approach hair restoration. With one doctor and one nurse, our mission was clear: deliver ethical, medically guided care for hair loss. Today, that mission continues - across a national network of doctor-led clinics in Australia and New Zealand.

Over the past decade, Gro Clinics has grown from a single clinic to a network with locations in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, the Gold Coast, and Auckland. Each clinic offers in-person consultations and assessments, providing personalised recommendations based on each client’s goals and medical needs.

REAL DOCTORS. REAL RESULTS. RELIABLE PRECISION.
At Gro Clinics, we want to ensure all Australians have access to safe and reliable hair loss treatments. This is why we offer free, virtual consultations to Cairns residents so you can discuss your goals and ask our experts any questions. Although our clinic is based in Brisbane, the free consultation will help you determine if the tailored Gro Clinics treatment is worth travelling for.
The consultation is obligation-free but will cover what a customised hair treatment plan, recovery process, and outcome could look like for you. Our specialists guide, but you decide.
With more than 10 years of experience and a clinically guided approach, you can feel confident choosing the Gro Clinics doctors near Cairns. Whether you’re noticing thinning, a receding hairline, or patchy areas, our medical practitioners plan each hair restoration procedure with care, precision, and your goals in mind.
Hair restoration treatments at Gro Clinics are available for both men and women experiencing hair loss related to genetic or lifestyle factors. Many Australians have chosen Gro Clinics for doctor-led procedures that prioritise safety, medical oversight, and natural-looking outcomes.
Dr Adam Cho leads the doctor team at Gro Clinics and has played a key role in shaping our standards of clinical care and governance. Through his leadership and mentorship, he has performed and overseen thousands of procedures, focusing on precision, consistency, and ongoing patient support.
Our team of AHPRA-registered doctors complete 12 months of in-clinic Gro Academy training and mentoring to learn our personalised approach to hair restoration treatments. Every treatment plan is individualised, recognising that factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and hair characteristics differ from person to person.
Our doctors undertake comprehensive induction and continuing training through Gro Academy, ensuring alignment with current hair restoration standards and medical best practice.
Gro Clinics uses the PFP (Precise Follicle Placement) method, which builds on the recognised Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique. This approach focuses on controlled follicle placement to support natural-looking density, growth direction, and design. The process is performed exclusively by medical practitioners to maintain consistency across all Gro Clinics.
At Gro Clinics, we care about more than just hair. Our mission is to help people feel more like themselves through personalised care and long-term support before, during, and after their procedure.
We’re committed to providing high-quality, doctor-led hair restoration treatments across Australia and New Zealand — giving people access to trusted clinical expertise close to home. Every journey starts with a consultation and a plan tailored to individual needs and suitability.
The Journey

At Gro Clinics, every hair transplant procedure is doctor-led to maintain clinical precision and patient safety. Our medical practitioners have extensive experience performing accurate incisions and implantations, ensuring each stage of the process is carefully planned and monitored.
This approach allows each treatment to be tailored to the individual — considering hair type, hairline, and personal goals — while ensuring medical oversight before, during, and after the procedure. We believe doctor involvement provides consistency, safety, and attention to detail across every step of your treatment.
All medical procedures carry risks. Results vary between individuals. A consultation with a qualified health practitioner is required to determine your suitability for treatment.
Our PFP methodology (Precise Follicle Placement) is a refined way of performing Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant procedures. The process involves individually extracting follicles and using an implanter device to place each graft with controlled angle, depth, and direction.
This careful technique helps support natural-looking density and alignment with your existing hair pattern. While PFP is Gro’s own term for our clinical approach, it follows the same principles as modern FUE methods performed across the industry. As with any medical procedure, outcomes vary between individuals depending on hair characteristics, donor quality, and post-treatment care.
The goal of every Gro procedure is to achieve growth that blends naturally with your existing hair. By planning each graft with precision and considering natural hairline design, we aim to create balanced, authentic-looking results.
Growth typically develops gradually over 12–18 months, and the process may include a temporary shedding phase. Results differ for every person and depend on factors such as graft survival, scalp condition, and aftercare routines.
Before confirming a procedure, a Gro medical practitioner performs a detailed medical and scalp assessment to evaluate suitability. This includes reviewing your hair-loss pattern, medical history, and overall scalp health. All procedures are performed under sterile conditions, with your safety and comfort as the top priority.
Our team treats every head of hair as unique, ensuring that planning and post-care guidance are tailored to support long-term hair health.

Answers are general in nature and don’t replace medical advice. Outcomes vary.
How Much Does a Hair Transplant Cost for Cairns Residents?
The cost of a hair transplant for Cairns residents varies depending on multiple factors, including:
At Gro Clinics, we are committed to being as transparent about the costs of our hair transplant services as possible - with us, there’s no bill shock. You’ll know the total cost of your treatment before you commit to a treatment plan. No hidden fees. No price hikes.
Do I Need to Travel for a Consultation?
Your initial consultation with a Gro technician will be an obligation-free, cost-free meeting where you will learn about your recommended course of action for hair replenishment. From there, it is up to you what you choose to do with that information.
If you decide to proceed with Gro’s treatment plan and are not physically located in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Perth or Auckland, you will need to travel to one of our sites.
Can I pay for my hair transplant in instalments?
Yes. We offer flexible payment options through third-party finance providers. Conditions apply, and eligibility can be discussed with your consultant.
Can I use my super to fund my hair transplant?
Early release of superannuation is possible under ATO compassionate grounds. Our team can help connect you with a third-party facilitator. A one-off setup fee applies. Eligibility depends on your situation.
What is a hair transplant?
A hair transplant involves moving healthy hair follicles from one area of the scalp to another. At Gro, this is done using a technique called Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), performed or overseen by registered doctors.
How does a hair transplant work?
Hair follicles are extracted from the donor area and carefully implanted into areas of thinning or loss. Gro’s method uses precision tools and our internal follicle placement technique.
How Long Does a Hair Transplant Procedure Take?
The length of a hair transplant surgery depends on the amount of work and the number of grafts to be transplanted.
However, our PFP method strives to be as efficient as possible for our patients. That way, you can save on travel costs when coming and going from Cairns.
Is a hair transplant permanent?
When done correctly by a professional, a hair transplant's results should be permanent. It is important to check the qualifications and previous results of your chosen provider to determine the permanent success of their procedures.
What other treatments do you offer besides hair transplants?
Am I eligible for a hair transplant?
Eligibility depends on the cause and stage of your hair loss, your general health, and clinical suitability. A consultant can guide you through next steps.
What Is the Recovery Time After a Hair Transplant?
Mild redness, swelling or sensitivity may occur for a few days. Most people return to routine activities within 1–5 days. Your care team will provide personalised recovery guidance.
When Will I See Results From My Hair Transplant?
Visible growth at a hair transplant site will appear at different stages depending on the individual. However, you may begin to notice signs of growth around 3-4 months after treatment with proper aftercare.
It is common to experience some hair shedding during the first few months, but full results may begin to appear after 10-12 months.
Does a Hair Transplant Hurt?
The use of local anaesthesia in a hair transplant numbs the scalp and lessens the pain of the process. However, you may still feel some discomfort, swelling and soreness once the treatment has finished and the anaesthesia has worn off. Most clients report only mild discomfort. Any post-procedure sensitivity is temporary and part of the normal healing process.
How Does Gro Clinics Support Cairns Patients Before and After Treatment?
Gro Clinics offers Cairns patients the convenience of virtual and free consultations before treatment even begins. Talk with a growth expert about your hair loss and discover a tailored treatment plan that will ensure a permanent solution.
Even once you have returned to Cairns after treatment, Gro Clinics will stay in contact to support your recovery. Any questions you have on your regrowth can be answered with a simple call or our online chat function.
