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.
Scalp microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses tiny, controlled micro-injuries to stimulate your body's natural healing process. By creating microchannels in the skin, it can activate dormant follicles, release growth factors, and support increased blood flow to improve overall scalp condition.
At Gro, this technique is used to complement broader treatment plans and may be combined with regenerative therapies under clinical guidance.
Hair Loss Stage: Suitable for all
Treatment Type: Minimally Invasive
This treatment is designed to complement your personalised hair restoration plan, particularly during the early to moderate stages of hair thinning. It may help support weakened follicles and assist in preparing the scalp for other clinically guided treatments.
Microneedling is believed to enhance scalp condition and local circulation, which may help maintain a healthy environment for hair growth over time. It’s commonly included as a booster therapy within Regen by Gro’s non-surgical treatment programs, available at our Pacific Fair clinic.
Scalp microneedling is performed in-clinic by our trained practitioners using a professional-grade microneedling device:
1️⃣ The scalp is thoroughly cleansed and prepped.
2️⃣ The microneedling device is passed over the thinning areas, creating controlled micro-injuries.
3️⃣ The treatment may be paired with topical agents like Exosomes, Growth Factor Therapy, or PRF to further enhance results.
Treatment duration: ~30 minutes per session
Pain level: Mild discomfort during microneedling
Recovery: Minimal – return to normal activities the same day
Disclaimer: Treatment results may vary from person to person. It’s always best to consult with a qualified doctor or hair restoration specialist to determine the most suitable option for your individual needs and hair goals.
