You have made the decision to restore your lost hair with a permanent hair transplant. Great, but how do you choose the best hair transplant clinic? There’s a lot to think about when choosing a clinic for your hair transplant procedure such as the technique the clinic uses, qualifications of the person doing the procedure, clinic reviews, cost, and how personalised the procedure is going to be and you will need to consider whether you should go with a global or Australian provider.

In this article, we discuss the benefits and shortfalls of local versus global hair transplant clinics to assist you when making this decision.

With the current global crisis, many Australians are now working from home. For anyone wanting to correct their hair loss, this presents a unique opportunity. One of the main reasons why people put off their hair growth goals is the one-week recovery that is needed after a hair transplant surgery. Many of us may want to keep it private or low profile. 

If you are working from home, this is the opportunity of a lifetime to go after your hair dreams. 

There are always things we cannot control such as times like this, however, hair growth is something that we can control – whether it is to limit further hair loss or get back what has already been lost. To many of us, correcting our hair loss is not just a ‘luxury’, it is a need.

All hair loss treatments, except one, are considered a band-aid solution. These temporary fixes can slow down the loss and help prolong growth, but they can’t restore a hairline. There is only one procedure that can redesign and restore a hairline, permanently.

Your hair and your hairline are one of the first features that someone will see, notice and get a first impression from. A receding hairline will typically present an older appearance. Many people that we help in our clinic would like to improve their hairline to look younger and compliment the shape of their face.

Why do people choose to have a hair transplant? Why do people tattoo their skin or choose to wear the clothes that they wear? Although there are infinite possible answers to these questions, many of the answers will relate to self-confidence, self-expression, how people want to be perceived, and their own unique style.

Gro patient Jonathan, had his microsurgery procedure 12 months ago. We are going to share with you Jonathan’s journey, why he decided to have a hair transplant, what it was like before, during and the result, 12 months later.

It’s pretty grim when a hair restoration treatment results in less hair than what you started with. How can this happen? It has everything to do with follicle (hair) survival rate. We often hear the term “success rate” with hair transplants, but the “success rate” is often very misleading. If we think of “success” as future hair growth, then virtually everyone will have “success” as at least some of the implanted hairs will continue to grow.

What is more pertinent to know is the follicle “survival rate” which is the number of transplanted hairs that survive, to produce permanent hair growth.

What does it take to be the best? When you consider the top golfers or surgeons, inherently there is natural skill, but perhaps most importantly, there is a persistent drive to be the best and a technique that is improved and refined in every aspect, with the aim of achieving perfection.

With the impetus to be the best, the Gro microsurgery technique has evolved hair restoration processes and procedures to achieve the most refined hair transplant technique. There are 3 key “pillars” or benefits that are unique to Gro.
