Natural Hair Transplants for Geelong Residents

How Much Does a Hair Transplant Cost Near Victoria?

The costs of a hair transplant are not typically reliant on the location of the providing clinic. That is, unless additional costs are needed to cover travel expenses. However, Gro Clinics has resources available upon discussion to help with said costs.

Otherwise, the cost of a hair transplant in Victoria will depend on the number of hair grafts needed, the type of transplant used, the complexity of the process, the size of the donor area, and other factors.

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.

Does Medicare Cover Hair Transplants?

Since hair loss treatments such as a transplant are considered a 'cosmetic procedure', their costs are generally not covered by Medicare.

However, there may be some exceptions in the case of treating medically caused hair loss. This is usually applicable to alopecia caused by disease, trauma, or congenital origins, excluding male pattern baldness.

However, it is always best to check with your hair transplant doctor if this option is available.

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 Geelong.

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.

How Much Is 2000 Grafts of Hair in Australia?

Depending on the technique used for transplantation, the cost of 2000 hair grafts in Australia can vary. Commonly, costs range from $6,000 to $10,000 on average.

You can make these costs less impactful on your budget by finding a clinic that offers weekly payment plans, like those at Gro Clinics.

At What Age Is a Hair Transplant Worth It?

The best age to get a hair transplant will depend on the individual and their hair's condition. However, most clinics and transplant techniques will see the best results for those aged 30-45 years.

This is because the hair loss or thinning progression has usually stabilised, allowing the transplant to cover all the affected areas. If the procedure is done before the hair loss is stable, there is a chance that further hair loss can occur.

In contrast, performing a transplant too late in age can mean there are not enough healthy hairs to transplant for full coverage.

What other treatments do you offer besides hair transplants?

• Prescription haircare (following clinical approval)
• Growth Factor Therapy (e.g. PRF)
• Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT)
• Deep scalp cleansing treatments
• Home-use support products

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.

What Happens 10 Years After a Hair Transplant?

When professionally performed, a hair transplant should last for many years with dedicated maintenance. Hence, it should age just like your natural hair would, even after 10 years.

After this time, your transplant scars will also have notably faded, leaving your transplanted hair indistinguishable from your natural hair if it was initially grafted well. After a decade, you should still be enjoying the full benefits of your transplant.

Is Turkey Better Than Australia for a Hair Transplant?

Although Turkey is known as the hair transplant capital, the Australian industry has a more compelling case for professional standards. Local clinics uphold high-quality transplants, using techniques that have been trialled and confirmed for their effectiveness.

With the addition of not needing to pay extra for flights and accommodation, nor worry about communicating effectively with your chosen doctors, Australia is becoming more appealing than Turkey for hair transplantation.
