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.

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.
