What Is a Hair Transplant?
At Hair Transplants Melbourne, we specialise in providing advanced and natural hair restoration solutions to help men and women regain a full, healthy head of hair. Whether you’re experiencing hair thinning, androgenetic alopecia, a receding hairline, or facial hair loss, our hair transplant team has nearly 100 years of combined experience for your peace of mind. Led by Dr. Paul Robinson and Dr. Paul Spano, we offer a comprehensive range of hair transplant treatments for men and women with hair loss, tailored to your individual needs. And the best news? Our specialty lies in minimally-invasive and non shaven options that minimise changes to your appearance during your recovery period!
Hair Transplant Surgery Before and After
Following your hair transplant procedure, you’ll notice gradual regrowth as the transplanted follicles begin to produce new hair. While initial results are visible within 3 to 6 months, full results typically appear after 12 months after most hair transplants.
The difference is transformative, with natural-looking, fuller hair that is permanent. At Hair Transplants Melbourne, we provide 12 months of growth light therapy and free review consultations to support your journey from before the surgery to after your new hair fully grows in.

How Does a Hair Transplant Work?
Hair transplants work by transferring healthy hair follicles from the donor area (typically the back or sides of the head) to areas experiencing hair loss. At Hair Transplants Melbourne, we offer two primary hair transplant techniques: Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT). Both methods are designed to provide 100% natural results, but they differ in how the donor hair is extracted and the recovery process.
Follicular Unit
Extraction (FUE)
Follicular Unit Extraction or FUE is one of the most popular and advanced hair transplant techniques today. This minimally invasive procedure involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area (usually the back or sides of the head) and transplanting them to the recipient area, where hair is thinning or receding. FUE offers several benefits, including:
- Minimal scarring, as no stitches are required
- Faster recovery time compared to other methods
- Natural-looking results, with hair growing in the same direction as your existing hair
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
FUT, also known as the “strip method”, is another highly effective hair transplant technique. During this procedure, a small strip of scalp is removed from the donor area, from which individual hair follicles are harvested. These follicles are then transplanted to the areas experiencing hair loss. FUT is often recommended for patients who require a larger number of grafts in a single session. Benefits of FUT include:
- A high graft yield in a single session
- Natural-looking and long-lasting results
- Scarring is easily concealed by surrounding hair
The transplanted hair grows naturally and permanently in the new location, blending seamlessly with your existing hair. Results gradually improve over time, with full hair growth visible after 12 months.
Both FUE and FUT are highly effective techniques, and Dr. Spano will work with you to determine the best method for your individual needs and hair loss pattern. Whether you’re looking to restore a receding hairline, add density to thinning hair, or improve your beard or eyebrows, our team will provide personalised treatment plans to help you achieve the best results.
How Much Is a Hair Transplant?
The cost of a hair transplant depends on the technique used and the number of grafts required. At Hair Transplants Melbourne, we offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees. FUE and FUT procedures are priced based on the size of the treatment area and the complexity of the case. Because this is considered to be a cosmetic surgery, hair transplant surgery is unlikely to be covered by medical insurance.
You can see our price list online, and we also offer flexible financing options to help make hair transplant costs affordable. Contact us for a personalised quote or submit your photos online to receive a detailed hair transplant cost estimate tailored to your specific needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who performs hair transplant treatments at Hair Transplants Melbourne?

Where does the donor hair come from in a hair transplant treatment?
In both Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) hair transplants, the donor hair typically comes from the back or sides of your scalp, where hair growth is usually more resilient to hair loss. These areas are known as the “safe zone”, and the hair follicles extracted from this region are genetically resistant to thinning, ensuring long-lasting results after hair transplantation.
How have hair transplant techniques advanced over the years?
Hair transplantation techniques have advanced significantly over the past two decades. Modern methods like FUE and FUT offer minimally invasive procedures with faster recovery times and natural-looking results. Unlike older techniques that could result in visible scarring and unnatural hairlines, today’s hair transplant procedures use precise follicle extraction and placement, ensuring that transplanted hair mimics the natural growth patterns of your existing hair. Additionally, treatments like Growth Factor treatment and exosome therapy can enhance the success of hair transplant surgery and promote healthy hair growth. See our price list here.
Why is it better to get a hair transplant in Melbourne than overseas?
While travelling overseas for a hair transplant may seem like a cost-effective option for hair loss, it can come with significant risks. Many overseas clinics lack the stringent regulations and quality controls that exist in Australia, leading to inconsistent results and potential complications. At Hair Transplants Melbourne, you’ll receive hair transplant treatment from a highly experienced, Australian-registered doctor in a safe, accredited clinic with full access to aftercare services. Additionally, our transparent pricing and flexible financing options make it easier to get high-quality hair hair transplantation without leaving the country.
What is the success rate of hair transplant treatment at Hair Transplants Melbourne?
At our Melbourne hair transplant clinic, we pride ourselves on delivering consistent, natural results for our patients. The success rate of our hair transplant surgery procedures is over 90%, with most patients experiencing full regrowth within 12 months. Each patient receives a personalised treatment plan, detailed aftercare instructions, and growth light therapy to ensure optimal hair growth following the transplant. Get an online quote today.
What age can I get hair transplant surgery?
There is no specific age limit for getting a hair transplant, but it’s essential to ensure that your hair loss pattern is stable before undergoing treatment. Most hair transplants are performed on men and women between the ages of 25 and 50, but consultations are open to individuals of all ages and we’ve had many successful hair transplant procedures on men and women in their 60s and 70s! Dr. Paul Robinson and Dr. Spano will evaluate your hair loss, medical history, and goals to determine the best course of action, ensuring that you get the most benefit from the procedure. Book today!
