It would be an impossible task to form my gratitude that I have for the people here into words if i’m being honest lol
But it should be said that the service alone these lovely people provide has helped me change myself, my mental, my outlook on life entirely, for the better of course 💛
After a consultation, and taking the appropriate medication to fit my whole situation, I then decided to go through with a full transplant.
Every single step of the way I felt reassured that I was being taken care of by legitimate and genuine people, despite this I was still so nervous as the date of my transplant moved closer!
Then finally, once I was there, undergoing surgery, AWAKE (kinda)..
Dude is this what being at a nail salon is like? I was just chilling the entire time, everyone around was extremely professional yet it just felt like being around a bunch of friends, the time actually flew by, two days just like *that*.
I mean it when I say, during the transplant itself, I seriously felt more comfortable there than in my own home!
(Though i did have to water my own head like a plant for a little while..)
If you feel any type of way about your hair, especially if you’re young (i’m about 25 now, though i started to recede in my teens then balding HEAVILY in my early 20s) please, please, PLEASE do not spend another day checking your hairline, taking pictures of the back of your head in different lighting and letting those pointless thoughts get to you.
Call this place, organise a consultation and remove all doubt from that part of your life.
Trust me.
You are worth it.
Dr Spano and his team were exceptional. From the moment I walked I felt welcomed and cared for.
The whole team were amazing.
Nicole and Kirsten were lovely and were by my side the entire day making sure I was comfortable.
Dr Robertson was great. He worked tirelessly. I’m very pleased with the result.
No hesitation is recommending this company.
Thanks team. I look forward to seeing you all again.
Themi, the theater manager, brought an infectious energy to the clinic that instantly put me at ease. Her warm welcome made me feel like part of the family right away.
Kirsten and Nicole, the experienced theatre techs, were phenomenal. Their skill and precision during the procedure were truly impressive, and I felt completely confident in their hands.
Overall, Dr Paul Spano and Dr Paul Robinson (and the entire team at Hair Transplants Melbourne) exceeded my expectations. I am thrilled with the results of my hair transplant and cannot recommend this clinic highly enough to anyone considering the procedure. Thank you for the exceptional service and care!

Don’t Want to Shave Your Head ? FUT May Be Your Answer
The FUT Advantage Other
Clinics Cannot Provide
Dual-Doctor FUT Team
Both Dr. Robinson and Dr. Spano are fully trained and qualified to perform FUT procedures - a rare qualification in Australia.
Full Insurance Coverage
We're among the select few Australian clinics qualified to perform FUT surgeries with complete insurance protection.
No-Shave Advantage
Keep your existing hair length with our strip method - ideal for professionals and those wanting discretion.
Precision Extraction Method
Individual follicle extraction using advanced microsurgical techniques ensures minimal scarring and maximum graft survival rates for optimal results.
Faster Recovery Time
Most patients return to work within 3-5 days with minimal downtime. No linear scar means you can wear your hair short with confidence.
Natural Growth Pattern
Strategic placement mimics your natural hair growth direction and density, creating results that are undetectable to others.
Worried About Scarring? FUE Leaves No Linear Scar
Our doctors provide the latest FUE technique for cases we scarring needs to be minimised.
FUE vs FUT:
Which Is Right for You?
We’re one of the few Australian clinics offering both methods. Here’s why that matters for your results.
Beware of One-Size-Fits-All Clinics
Many clinics and franchises only offer FUE and may push it as the “best” option – often because it’s all they know how to do. The truth is, FUE isn’t always ideal for everyone. Clinics offering large FUE transplants (over 4,000 grafts) in a single session risk donor over-harvesting, blood supply compromise, shock loss, and even skin necrosis.
FUE Method
- Patients comfortable with head shaving
- Smaller transplants (under 3,000 grafts)
- Those wanting to wear hair very short
- No linear scar
- Faster initial healing
- No top of head shaving required
- Can wear hair short post-procedure
- Less post-operative discomfort
FUT Method
Strip extraction allowing for precise graft preparation
Ideal For:
- Women with long hair
- Transgender patients
- Large transplants (3,000+ grafts)
- Weaker donor areas
- No head shaving required
- Higher graft survival rates
- Can harvest more grafts safely
- Better for extensive coverage

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to the most common questions about FUT and FUE hair transplant procedures
FUt Hair Transplant
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) involves removing a strip of skin from the donor area (usually the back of the head) and then dissecting individual follicular units under a microscope for transplantation. This method allows for precise graft preparation and higher survival rates.
No, you don’t need to shave your entire head. Only a small strip area in the donor region needs to be trimmed, and this can often be concealed by surrounding hair. This makes FUT ideal for professionals who need to maintain their appearance during recovery.
FUT does leave a linear scar where the strip was removed. However, with proper surgical technique and healing, this scar is typically very thin and easily concealed by hair as short as 1-2cm in length. Our doctors use advanced closure techniques to minimize scarring.
FUT is ideal for: Women with long hair who don’t want to shave; Transgender patients requiring discretion; Patients needing large transplants (3000+ grafts); Those with weaker donor areas; Anyone wanting maximum graft yield in one session.
Most patients return to desk work within 7-10 days. The donor area takes about 10-14 days to heal completely. Stitches are typically removed after 10-12 days. You can resume normal activities gradually, with full exercise permitted after 3-4 weeks.
FUT typically allows for larger graft harvests compared to FUE. Depending on your donor area characteristics, we can often harvest 3000-5000+ grafts in a single session, making it ideal for extensive hair restoration needs.
FUT and FUE have similar pricing structures based on the number of grafts needed. Both procedures range from $5,000-$6,500 for small sessions up to $18,000+ for mega sessions. The main difference is that FUT can often achieve more grafts in fewer sessions.
Yes, FUT can typically be repeated if you have sufficient donor hair remaining. The previous scar is usually incorporated into the new incision line. However, each case is individual, and this depends on your scalp laxity and donor hair quality.
FUT risks include infection, bleeding, scarring, and temporary numbness around the donor area. Serious complications are rare when performed by experienced surgeons. The main concern is scar widening, which occurs in less than 5% of patients with proper technique.
FUT results are permanent. The transplanted hair follicles are genetically resistant to DHT (the hormone causing male pattern baldness) and will continue growing for your lifetime. However, your native hair may continue to thin, potentially requiring future procedures.
FUE Hair Transplant
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) involves individually extracting follicular units directly from the donor area using microsurgical punches. This method leaves tiny circular scars that are virtually undetectable, making it ideal for those who prefer to wear their hair very short.
Yes, the donor area needs to be shaved short (typically 1-2mm) for optimal graft extraction. Some clinics offer “no-shave” FUE, but this significantly reduces graft quality and survival rates. Most patients prefer the superior results that come with proper preparation.
FUE leaves tiny, dot-like scars that are virtually undetectable, even with a buzzed haircut. These heal within 7-10 days and become invisible once fully healed. This makes FUE perfect for patients who like to wear their hair very short.
FUE is ideal for: Patients comfortable with head shaving; Those wanting to wear hair very short post-procedure; Smaller transplants (under 3000 grafts); Active individuals who want faster initial healing; Patients concerned about linear scarring.
FUE typically has faster initial healing. Most patients return to work within 3-5 days. The donor area heals within 7-10 days, and you can resume light exercise after 1 week. Full exercise can be resumed after 2-3 weeks.
Yes, FUE has some limitations. Large sessions (over 4000 grafts) in one day can risk donor over-harvesting and reduced graft survival. We typically recommend keeping FUE sessions under 3000 grafts for optimal results and donor preservation.
FUE pricing is similar to FUT based on graft count, ranging from $5,000-$6,500 for small sessions to $18,000+ for mega sessions. However, FUE may require multiple sessions for extensive coverage, potentially increasing total costs.
Absolutely. FUE works well with medications, PRP therapy, and our included LED therapy. These treatments can help preserve your existing hair and enhance transplant results.
FUE procedures typically take 6-10 hours depending on graft count. You’ll receive local anesthesia, can watch TV or listen to music, and take breaks for meals. Most patients find the experience comfortable and relaxing.
Initial growth appears around 3-4 months, with significant improvement by 6-8 months. Final results are typically visible at 12-18 months post-procedure. The transplanted hair will initially shed before regrowing permanently.
