At Gro, we use an approach known as Precise Follicle Placement (PFP), based on the standard Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique. PFP focuses on careful planning of follicle placement, with the aim of supporting natural-looking density, angle and direction.
This method is part of our doctor-led model of care, which includes tailored support before, during and after your procedure.
FUE and the PFP Approach at Gro
At Gro, we use a technique called Precise Follicle Placement (PFP) - our internal approach to the well-known Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method. PFP involves individual follicle extraction followed by detailed planning during implantation to align with the natural angle and direction of your existing hair.
This method is part of our commitment to personalised, doctor-led care throughout the hair restoration process. To date, we’ve performed over 5,000 hair transplant procedures across Australia, involving more than 35 million hair follicles - each one placed with care and clinical oversight.

From your initial consultation (no cost for eligible patients) to your personalised treatment planning and follow-up support, every step is guided by clinical assessment and tailored to your individual needs.
At Gro Clinics, we believe in a holistic approach to hair restoration. Here's what sets us apart:
Hair loss doesn't have to define you. At Gro Clinics, we offer a transformative solution with the PFP hair transplant technique. This minimally invasive approach to hair restoration surgery allows you to achieve a fuller head of hair with the most natural-looking results and minimal downtime. And the best news? We have plenty of convenient clinic locations in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney.
Gro Clinics is the exclusive provider of PFP hair transplantation. The best way to determine if PFP is right for you is to schedule a free consultation with one of our experienced hair transplant doctors. They will assess your individual situation, hair loss pattern, and scalp health to determine if this technique is suitable for your needs.
The minimally invasive nature of the PFP method allows for faster recovery times compared to traditional procedures. You can expect some redness and scabbing in the donor area for the first few days, which will subside within a week or two. Most patients are able to return to work and resume most activities within a few days after the procedure.
You can expect to see initial hair growth within 3-4 months after your PFP procedure. However, it typically takes 9-12 months to see the full density and final results of your hair restoration.

The transplanted hair follicles are genetically resistant to baldness. Therefore, transplanted hair will grow naturally and permanently, just like your existing hair. Take a look at the fantastic hair transplant results we’ve achieved for our clients.
The cost of your hair transplant will depend on the extent of your hair loss and the number of hair follicles transplanted. During your free consultation, we will provide you with a personalised cost estimate based on your individual needs. We offer flexible payment options to make hair restoration accessible for everyone.
The PFP procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia in an outpatient setting. Here's a general overview:
