Hair restoration is becoming more common in Australia, but not all providers meet the same medical standards. In this article, Dr Anwar from Gro Clinics Sydney explains the key red flags to look for when choosing a hair transplant clinic—so you can make a safe, informed decision.
Considering hair restoration? In this edition of Hair Loss 101, we walk you through what to expect before, during, and after a procedure at Gro Clinics, using our refined approach to follicular unit extraction (FUE) with a focus on precision and comfort.
Ever wondered what’s really happening on your scalp? Hair doesn’t just grow—it cycles. In this edition of Hair Loss 101, we break down the science behind the four distinct stages of hair growth and why understanding them is essential to managing hair thinning or loss.
The Norwood Scale, also known as the Norwood-Hamilton Scale, is the standard classification system for male pattern hair loss. Whether you're just starting to notice thinning or exploring hair restoration options, understanding the scale is a helpful first step. Here's everything you need to know.

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.
Hair transplant pricing isn’t one-size-fits-all. At Gro, we assess your individual needs to provide an accurate estimate, no hidden fees, no surprises. From early signs of hair loss to more advanced cases, we tailor your plan based on what’s right for you.

HAIR TRANSPLANT COSTS IN AUSTRALIA
The cost of your procedure is guided by clinical recommendation. Factors that may influence the overall cost include the number of grafts required, the size and location of the treatment area, and your hair characteristics such as texture, colour contrast, and density. The complexity of the procedure and your preferred hairline design or density goals are also taken into account.[TIP]
The number of hair grafts required is one of the most significant factors influencing hair transplant cost in Australia. Grafts and hairs are individual follicular units extracted and re-implanted during the procedure.
Your personalised quote is based on how many hairs are recommended during your assessment. This varies depending on your degree of hair loss, donor hair availability, and restoration goals.
The size of the area requiring treatment directly impacts the cost of a hair transplant.
Treating a small recession at the temples differs significantly from restoring a full crown or hairline. Meanwhile, larger treatment areas require more time, precision, and hairs to ensure natural-looking results.
During your consultation, the team will map out the treatment area and advise on what’s suitable for your hair loss stage.
Hair texture, thickness, and curl pattern, as well as the contrast between your hair and scalp colour, can affect the technique used and the number of hairs needed.
For example, curly or thick hair may offer more coverage per hair, while fine or straight hair may require more hair/grafts for similar visual density. These biological factors are considered when developing your custom hair restoration plan.
The complexity of your hair transplant procedure depends on a variety of clinical factors. These may include previous transplant procedures, donor hair quality, scalp scarring, or uneven hair loss patterns such as alopecia areata.
More complex cases may require advanced planning and specialised techniques. All of this will be discussed with you during your medical consultation to ensure safe and realistic expectations.
Your desired hair follicle density - whether you're aiming for subtle improvement or maximum coverage - will influence the number of grafts/hairs required. It will also affect the overall procedure time.
Higher density goals may require more sessions, especially in cases of advanced thinning.
Your clinician will guide you through what’s achievable based on your donor capacity and long-term hair growth expectations.

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.
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.
Transplanted follicles are intended to be long-lasting. However, results vary and ongoing hair loss in untreated areas can occur. A clinician can guide you on expectations during your assessment.
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.
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.
Hair growth varies. Many clients notice shedding in the first few weeks, followed by gradual regrowth from 3 to 6 months, with more visible changes by 12 months. Individual results vary.
The procedure is done under local anaesthetic. Most clients report only mild discomfort. Any post-procedure sensitivity is temporary and part of the normal healing process.
