In 2014, Gro Clinics opened its first hair transplant clinic in Sydney, aiming to change how Australians approach hair restoration.

REAL CLINICS. REAL DOCTORS. REAL RESULTS.
While Gro Clinics doesn’t have a clinic in Wollongong, locals can still access our hair transplant services through Sydney. These treatments may help with thinning across the scalp, a receding hairline or small bald patches. To make things easier, we offer free virtual consultations with our doctors so you can talk through your concerns and possible options from home.
From there, you can decide if travelling to Sydney for a hair transplant procedure feels right for you.
Gro Clinics performs over 100 hair transplant procedures across its locations, overseen by experienced doctors. Our hair loss clinics support both men and women with conditions such as hereditary pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia), thinning related to hormonal changes, or skin conditions that lead to bald patches on the scalp. Consultations are available to discuss your concerns and outline a possible hair transplantation plan.
Gro Clinics is driven to provide clinical expertise to our Wollongong clients, which is why our locations are staffed by experienced hair transplant doctors. Led by Dr. Adam, with over 6 million healthy hairs transplanted during his career, you will be guided by trustworthy hands when you visit our clinics.
Customer satisfaction and safety are other key considerations of our doctors, which is why we will always discuss your hair loss treatment options ahead of a possible procedure. This includes mapping out possible causes of hair loss, how best to stimulate hair follicles, and how to best guarantee your comfort throughout the process.
From your very first treatment, you will be able to see our team's dedication to providing reliable and safe procedures to all visitors. We provide extensive and locally-based training programs for our doctors, ensuring they remain up-to-date with the latest developments in hair loss treatments.
This training includes our development of a unique hair transplant procedure, refined from the more traditional Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique. The Precise Follicle Placement (PFP) method focuses on precision when transplanting new hair follicles, aiming to not just regrow your hair, but also provide the most natural-looking and best results possible for you.
Everyone's hair transplant journey is unique, and this includes your final results.
Gro Clinics is dedicated to putting Australia and New Zealand on the international map when it comes to hair loss treatments. We want to reduce the need for residents to travel overseas to obtain a full head of healthy and thick hair.
That is why we have opened multiple clinics in the major cities of Australia, including a Sydney location that is just a short trip away for Wollongong residents. We also keep treatment costs affordable for the average Australian, allowing more individuals access to the hair regrowth programs they deserve.

Undergoing a hair transplantation procedure means taking a huge step towards restoring your hair's overall health and follicle density. When guided by a professional doctor at a hair loss clinic like Gro, you can aim for your ideal hair goals with full confidence.
All medical procedures carry risks. Results vary between individuals. A consultation with a qualified health practitioner is required to determine your suitability for treatment.
Gro Clinics uses the PFP hair transplant technique, a refined approach to FUE that focuses on the placement of healthy hair follicles in specific areas of need. The method considers natural factors such as hair growth angles and hairline patterns when planning each procedure. The goal is to achieve results that blend with your existing hair. Aftercare plays an important role in supporting recovery and long-term outcomes.
The combination of complexity and the length of time required for complete hair transplantation makes it a high-end cosmetic procedure. However, this service does not have to come with an excessive price tag at Gro Clinics.
Our hair transplant costs are completely transparent, listing out the general costs of hair graft numbers. However, we also offer flexible payment plans for Wollongong residents to take advantage of. Keep overall costs low by financing your procedure with TLC, Humm90, or early access to your superannuation.
It is important to remember that Gro Clinics takes a bespoke approach for each patient, so exact hair transplant costs will be provided after your treatment plan is finalised.
Wollongong residents can conveniently receive a comprehensive consultation from our experienced team without leaving the area. With a virtual meeting, you can learn everything you need to know about our exclusive transplant procedure. At the same time, we will also collect information on your hair loss experience, using medical history and recent lifestyle changes to tailor a treatment plan to you.
With your treatment plan, you can determine whether to take the next step by booking a procedure at our nearby Sydney clinic.

Have any additional questions about Gro Clinics' offerings or about your upcoming hair transplant? We have answers to some of the more commonly asked questions below:
Answers are general in nature and don’t replace medical advice. Outcomes vary.
How Much Does a Hair Transplant Cost for Wollongong Residents?
The cost of a hair transplant for Wollongong residents varies depending on multiple factors, including:
At Gro Clinics, we are committed to being as transparent about the costs of our hair transplant services as possible - with us, there’s no bill shock. You’ll know the total cost of your treatment before you commit to a treatment plan. No hidden fees. No price hikes.
Do I Need to Travel for a Consultation?
Your initial consultation with a Gro technician will be an obligation-free, cost-free meeting where you will learn about your recommended course of action for hair replenishment. From there, it is up to you what you choose to do with that information.
If you decide to proceed with Gro’s treatment plan and are not physically located in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Perth or Auckland, you will need to travel to one of our sites.
Can I pay for my hair transplant in instalments?
Yes. We offer flexible payment options through third-party finance providers. Conditions apply, and eligibility can be discussed with your consultant.
Can I use my super to fund my hair transplant?
Early release of superannuation is possible under ATO compassionate grounds. Our team can help connect you with a third-party facilitator. A one-off setup fee applies. Eligibility depends on your situation.
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.
How Long Does a Hair Transplant Procedure Take?
The length of a hair transplant surgery depends on the amount of work and the number of grafts to be transplanted. However, our PFP method strives to be as efficient as possible for our patients. That way, you can save on travel costs when coming and going from Wollongong.
Is a hair transplant permanent?
When done correctly by a professional, a hair transplant's results should be permanent. It is important to check the qualifications and previous results of your chosen provider to determine the permanent success of their procedures.
What other treatments do you offer besides hair transplants?
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.
What Is the Recovery Time After 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.
When Will I See Results From My Hair Transplant?
Visible growth at a hair transplant site will appear at different stages depending on the individual. However, you may begin to notice signs of growth around 3-4 months after treatment with proper aftercare.
It is common to experience some hair shedding during the first few months, but full results may begin to appear after 10-12 months.
Does a Hair Transplant Hurt?
The use of local anaesthesia in a hair transplant numbs the scalp and lessens the pain of the process. However, you may still feel some discomfort, swelling and soreness once the treatment has finished and the anaesthesia has worn off. Most clients report only mild discomfort. Any post-procedure sensitivity is temporary and part of the normal healing process.
