Benefits of a Clinically Guided Hair Transplant
While topical products and supplements may support scalp health, they can't replicate the precision and planning of a medically guided hair transplant. At Gro Clinics Sydney, treatment plans are tailored by experienced practitioners based on your hair characteristics and goals.
Our team is trained in refined FUE methods, with a focus on personalised care and consistency across every stage of the process.[TIP]
Each hair is placed with care to match your existing pattern, angle, and density. The aim is to support a natural-looking appearance using your own follicles, assessed and planned with clinical oversight.
We use a minimally invasive technique that, for many, allows a return to normal activities within several days. Recovery timelines differ, and our care team provides individual aftercare instructions to support safe healing.
Each treatment begins with a medical consultation to assess suitability. We consider your hair type, goals, and medical history before planning the procedure. Ongoing care options are available, but outcomes and needs vary person to person.
Payment Plans
We understand cost matters, here's how we can help.
Hair restoration procedures vary in cost depending on individual needs and clinical recommendations. Gro Clinics offers flexible payment options for eligible patients, with all treatments subject to medical assessment and approval. [TIP]

Hair Transplant Clinic in Sydney
Medically Guided Treatment
Gro Clinics Sydney offers hair restoration procedures performed with clinical oversight and consistent protocols. With over 35 million hairs transplanted across Australia and New Zealand, our experienced team supports people considering medical hair transplant options.
Every consultation is designed to assess your individual needs, and procedures are carried out by trained medical professionals using refined follicular unit extraction (FUE) techniques.[TIP]
All procedures carry risks. Any decision to undergo a hair transplant should be made in consultation with a qualified health practitioner who will assess your individual needs, medical history, and suitability for treatment. Results vary between individuals and depend on a range of factors, including clinical assessment, adherence to aftercare, and individual hair characteristics. Any pricing or procedural information provided is general in nature and subject to change following consultation.
At Gro Clinics Sydney, we perform hair transplants using Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), a medically recognised technique conducted under clinical oversight. The process involves relocating individual hair follicles from a donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp to areas with reduced density.
Each treatment begins with a consultation to assess your hair characteristics, medical history, and treatment suitability. If appropriate, an individualised plan is developed to guide the procedure safely and effectively.
Disclaimer: All medical procedures carry risks. Individual results vary. A consultation with a qualified health practitioner is required to assess suitability.
At Gro Clinics Sydney, hair transplant pricing is based on how many grafts/hairs are required - determined during a clinical consultation. Factors such as your hair type, extent of hair loss, and individual goals influence the treatment plan and associated cost.
You’ll receive a personalised quote after consultation, which includes the procedure, clinical care, and follow-up. Payment options may be available to suit your needs.
Note: Final costs vary and are based on individual clinical assessment.
Gro Clinics Sydney follows standardised clinical protocols designed to support consistency and safety. Hair transplants are carried out using FUE methods with clinical oversight at each stage.
From consultation to follow-up, we focus on informed consent, clear communication, and individualised planning to help guide your treatment journey.
When considering a hair transplant, some patients explore overseas options. Choosing a regulated clinic like Gro in Australia means consultations, procedures, and follow-ups are managed under consistent national healthcare standards.
At Gro Clinics Sydney, you can access local medical support, clinical supervision, and continuity of care - all without the need to travel. This can support both safety and convenience throughout the process.
We use the FUE method to extract individual follicles and place them in areas of the scalp with reduced density. Each follicle is positioned in a way that aligns with your existing hair direction and pattern.
The procedure is conducted under medical oversight using sterile techniques. Your plan is developed following a consultation to assess your clinical profile and treatment suitability
At Gro Clinics Sydney, your care begins with a medical consultation to determine if hair transplantation is suitable for you. If appropriate, a treatment plan is created with your clinical needs in mind.
We don’t use one-size-fits-all solutions. Each step, from planning to post-procedure monitoring, is overseen by medical professionals to support a safe and informed experience.

Understanding the Procedure
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.
Is a hair transplant permanent?
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.
Treatment Options
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.
Recovery & Results
How long does it take to recover from 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.
How long does a hair transplant take to work?
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.
Is a hair transplant painful?
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.
