I deliberated with a hair transplant for the last 10 years. Decided to keep it local as I was impressed with Paul, his team and his set up. I am one week since the transplant and am so amazed with the immediate change to my hairline. It helps that I still have hair as it blends in. Hard to even notice the transplant from the front. Can't wait for it to achieve full bush! My 16 yo daughter was sceptical, considering the investment, but now she see's the results. What I didn't expect was from day one my self esteem shot through the roof. For 20 years I have witnessed my hair depleting. I tried every tonic under the sun. I didn't realise how depressing it was making me feel. If you are reading this, I'm sure you know the feeling. Just get it done sooner rather than later. Once you are bald the change will be too noticeable. Not the end of the world, but again, I'm glad the transplant has blended in with my existing hair. Ask Paul to see my photos. Can't wait to get back to styling my hair opposed to the same comb over I've been donning for so many years. The mental anguish, my goodness.

This review is long, long overdue.
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.

Honestly was quite sceptical at first but couldn’t be happier with how it all went. A year on and a massive change after the procedure and regret not doing it sooner. The actual procedure is pretty painful both on the day and few days after but looking back now wasn’t that bad. Great communication from beginning to end from the team and would recommend if you are thinking about it getting it done at HTM. Very happy and thank you!!

The Whole team is like a little family and they make you feel very welcome and comfortable. From the moment I was greeted by Themi till being walked to the door at the end of the (long) day by Paul. Everyone was 100% professional while maintaining a very relaxed bedside manner. Even if the jokes and singing were not that good. Jason.

I am delighted to give Hair Transplants Melbourne a glowing 5-star review! My experience at this clinic was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Margaret and Lisa, the administrative staff, were incredibly helpful and made the scheduling process seamless.

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

Individual follicle extraction using microsurgical punches. Ideal For:

Patients comfortable with head shaving
Smaller transplants (under 3,000 grafts)
Those wanting to wear hair very short

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

Your Personal Hair Restoration Journey

Advanced 10X Magnification Analysis

Dr Paul Robinson and Dr Paul Spano perform a comprehensive scalp analysis using 10x magnification technology. This isn’t just about assessing your current hair loss – we examine your donor hair quality, scalp health, and identify any underlying causes beyond typical male and female pattern baldness.

Why this matters: Many clinics skip this crucial step, leading to poor results or failed transplants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common questions about FUT and FUE hair transplant procedures

FUt Hair Transplant

What is 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.

Do I need to shave my head for FUT?

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.

Will FUT leave a scar?

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.

Who is FUT best suited for?

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.

What’s the recovery time for FUT?

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.

How many grafts can be harvested with FUT?

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.

How much does FUT cost compared to FUE?

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.

Can FUT be repeated if I need more grafts later?

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.

What are the risks and complications of FUT?

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.

How long do FUT results last?

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

What is 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.

Do I need to shave my head for FUE?

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.

Will FUE leave scars?

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.

Who is FUE best suited for?

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.

What’s the recovery time for FUE?

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.

Are there limitations to FUE graft numbers?

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.

How much does FUE cost compared to FUT?

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.

Can I combine FUE with other hair loss treatments?

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.

What should I expect during FUE procedure day?

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.

How long do FUE results take to show?

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.
