10 Years of Hair Transplants in Australia: Gro Clinics’ Journey
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.
What We've Learned Over The Decade.
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.

Why Australians Choose Gro Clinics for Local Hair Restoration
Hair loss is personal and so is your treatment at Gro. Our team uses medically guided hair transplant techniques to help restore your hair with care and precision.

Experience local care, transparent pricing, and clinical guidance every step of the way.
Understanding Our Hair Transplant Technique.
At Gro Clinics, hair transplants are doctor-led and performed predominantly by registered medical practitioners. In select clinics, procedures may be carried out by trained nurses, always under the supervision of a doctor.
We follow a refined FUE-based technique focused on precise follicle placement, designed to match your natural hair pattern. [TIP]
This information is general in nature and not a substitute for medical advice. Results vary and all procedures carry risk.
Our procedures are based on Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), where individual hair follicles are taken from a donor area and placed into areas affected by hair loss.
Each procedure is carefully planned to align with your existing hair angle, direction and density. Treatments are conducted in-clinic, typically completed in one day, and use local anaesthetic for your comfort.
Disclaimer: All medical procedures carry risks. Results vary from person to person. Please consult a medical professional to assess your suitability.
Gro’s medical and clinical teams undergo structured, in-clinic training designed to meet consistent clinical standards across all locations. Our doctors and nurses complete hands-on education before performing or assisting in procedures.
This training is continuously updated to reflect medical best practices in hair restoration.
Most patients return to work or daily activities within a few days. Common short-term effects include redness, swelling or temporary shedding in the weeks post-treatment. Aftercare support and recovery instructions are provided to guide you through every stage.
Hair transplants involve relocating your own follicles to thinning areas. Over time, these follicles produce new hair that blends with your existing pattern.
Our goal is to support natural-looking density and personalised outcomes. Every result is unique and influenced by individual factors including hair type, overall scalp condition, and adherence to aftercare.
Disclaimer: Individual outcomes vary. No guarantee of specific results can be provided.

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.
