Our Hair Transplant Doctors at Gro Clinics Auckland

Our PFP hair transplant procedures are overseen by our experienced doctors.

Dr Leo Chong (MCNZ No. 75673) is a New Zealand-trained and ACC-credited health provider with a focus on careful planning and natural hairline design.

Dr Jack Yeoman (MCNZ No. 89436) has a special interest in hair restoration and male aesthetics. He has trained in a range of modern techniques in both New Zealand and internationally.

Your initial discovery call will be with a hair growth advisor, followed by an in-clinic consultation, scalp assessment and personalised treatment plan.

After this call, our Auckland doctors, either Dr Leo Chong or Dr Jack Yeoman, will then create and finalise your plan, outline your new hairline and perform the procedure.

  • Reviewing your personalised treatment plan.
  • Assessing your donor area, follicle health and graft numbers.
  • Outlining your new hairline to suit your facial features, anticipated future hair loss and hair restoration goals.
  • Performing the follicle extraction with a microscopic punch tool to carefully remove individual hair follicles one by one.
  • Carefully implanting the extracted follicles directly into the treatment area, to align with the natural angle and direction of your existing hair.
  • Post-procedure guidance, care and follow-ups.
Doctors, not technicians

Your hair transplant is performed by an AHPRA-registered doctor. Your initial discovery call is with a Hair Growth Advisor, and technicians do not perform hair transplants with Gro Clinics.

For a more affordable option, our Melbourne clinic also offer procedures performed by an AHPRA-registered nurse.

Your scalp assessment, hairline design and treatment plan are still completed by your doctor, who oversees the full procedure.

Doctor Experience

Our Auckland hair transplant doctors have thorough training and many years of experience in a range of hair loss treatments that are suitable for men and women.

Dr Leo Chong graduated from the University of Auckland in 2017 and is an ACC-accredited health provider in New Zealand. He has a clinical background in orthopaedics and trauma care, and is committed to patient safety and clear communication.

Dr Jack Yeoman has trained in a range of modern techniques and has experience in performing Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). He works closely with Gro Clinics’ staff to deliver hair restoration procedures with a strong focus on precision, patient care and individual treatment planning.

Their experience at Gro Clinics includes extensive training in our hair transplant method. Our Precise Follicle Placement (PFP) technique is a refinement of Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), designed to deliver natural-looking, long-lasting results.

Gro Internal Training

Dr Leo Chong and Dr Jack Yeoman receive additional internal training on our approach to follicle placement to ensure consistent quality of care. We use a Precise Follicle Placement (PFP) technique that focuses on careful planning and follicle placement designed to support natural-looking density, angle and direction. Through this training, we can deliver a standard model of care, with full support of your recovery during and after your procedure.

Precise Follicle Placement

Precise Follicle Placement is our approach to the placement stage. Each graft is placed with a precision placement device that creates the site and places the follicle in one motion, so the angle, depth and direction of every graft are set by your doctor at the moment of placement rather than by an incision made beforehand.

Donor Area Preservation

Your donor area is finite and does not renew, so every graft taken from it is spent. Grafts are extracted individually and spread across the area rather than drawn heavily from one region, which keeps the donor even and leaves a second procedure possible later.

Gro Prescription Haircare

Careful Planning

Hairlines, crowns and full restorations are planned around how your hair loss is likely to progress, not just how it looks today. Donor preservation sits at the centre of that, because your donor area is finite and does not renew. The aim is a result that still looks natural in ten years, not only in twelve months.

Gro invested more than $500,000 in practitioner training and research in the last year to signal their committed investment in quality hair transplants.

Gro Clinics Mission

At Gro Clinics, our doctors are committed to providing Auckland clients with proven expertise and hair restoration treatments that support natural, long-lasting results. Our methods involve more than just the procedure itself, as we provide:

  • Free 15-minute initial discovery call
  • Tailored treatment plans
  • Scalp assessment and careful donor area preservation
  • Follow-up for up to 18 months, with dedicated out-of-hours support.

How Gro Performs FUE in Auckland (Our PFP Approach)

We use a hair transplant method known as Precise Follicle Placement (PFP) at Gro Clinics. This refined approach to Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) involves:

  • Extracting individual follicles from the donor area
  • Detailed planning during implantation to align with the natural angle
  • Aligning with the natural angle, direction and spacing of your existing hair

This method is minimally invasive and provides long-lasting results with minimal scarring. We aim for natural-looking results that may improve hair density and coverage.

Hair restoration looks different for everyone. Find out what works for you.

Note that PFP is Gro's internal method under the broader FUE category and may not lead to different clinical outcomes. Results vary from person to person.

Our Method: Gro's Approach to Creating A Natural Hairline

We understand how important the new hairline is, so all hairlines are planned by our doctors. Our process in creating a new natural hairline balances a few factors:

Your hair restoration goals: You will work collaboratively with your doctor on the hairline you have in mind.

Your facial proportions: Your doctor has the expertise to guide the right hairline to suit your face.

Any long-term hair loss: Your hairline will be designed with your underlying cause in mind to support your long-term hair restoration plan.

The natural ageing process: The hairline will be designed with an aim to suit you today and as you age.

Designed to Minimise Visible Scarring

Our hair transplantation method focuses on singular follicular unit extraction and careful placements. We use a refined extraction punch to remove grafts from your donor area with the aim of minimal impact to the surrounding tissue.

Every graft is individually placed using single and multi-implanters, allowing us to control the exact angle, depth, and direction of each follicle. Our doctors are trained internally on this refined approach to FUE, which is designed to minimise visible scarring.

A balanced assessment of donor reserves and graft planning

Our approach to minimise visible scarring also aims to protect your donor area for future hair restoration procedures. On your in-clinic consultation, we will do a full scalp health assessment before recommending the number of grafts you may need.

We aim to balance your donor area with your transplant goals for long-term results. This approach is designed to improve hair density and coverage, whilst supporting your existing healthy hair.

Our Corrective Hair Transplant Repair Approach

If you are considering corrective work following a previous hair transplant procedure, an in-clinic consultation may assess suitability.

Your in-clinic consultation will first diagnose what went wrong, such as incorrect hairline design, unnatural angulation, poor density, visible scarring or donor depletion. If deemed suitable for a corrective hair transplant, we may use our PFP method to carefully re-graft to support natural-looking results.

What Happens on the Day of Your Procedure

Every Gro hair clinic follows the same personalised care. We've built a dedicated team around our doctors to take care of the details, so that our doctors can focus fully on your hair transplant procedure.

Preparation & Consultation
  • Your clinical team will check your vitals and hair health and give you your gown to change into.
  • We thoroughly wash your head and sanitise the scalp ready for the doctor.
  • Your hair transplant doctor will re-review your personalised treatment plan and outline the expectations.
  • They'll then map out the hairline that best suits your natural growth pattern and facial features.
  • Your hair may be trimmed or shaved in the donor and recipient areas before we begin the procedure.
The Extraction
  • The procedure is minimally invasive, with pain management options available. We may administer local anaesthetic to the donor area.
  • The doctor will perform the extraction, using a microscopic punch tool to carefully remove individual hair follicles one-by-one.
Implantation
  • We may administer local anaesthesia to the donor area. Our PFP method is designed to minimise visible scarring.
  • The doctor uses a specialised tool to implant the extracted follicles directly into the treatment area, to align with the natural angle and direction of your existing hair.

    This process may take several hours, depending on the number of grafts required.
Post-Procedure & Recovery
  • The doctor reviews your newly placed hairline and the team places a light, protective dressing if needed.
  • You will receive detailed instructions and an aftercare plan.
PFP is Gro's internal method under the broader FUE category and may not lead to different clinical outcomes.
Results vary from person to person.

Recovery, Shedding and Shock Loss

We continue our customer care long after the day of your procedure. We provide post-procedure support with consistent follow-ups to monitor your results and check for any symptoms for up to 18 months after your transplant.

Our methods are designed to minimise visible scarring and improve hair density and coverage, with clear, gradual improvement over time. However, as your natural hair growth cycle is disrupted during the extraction and implantation, experiences during the recovery phase may vary.

This recovery period may last 1-6 months, depending on individual factors. During this time, temporary shedding, known as hair transplant shock loss, may occur.

"This temporary shedding phase is called shock loss. It usually happens in the first two to eight weeks after a hair transplant. The follicles remain healthy, and new hair growth may begin around three to four months."

Dr Medical Director Dr Adam Cho, AHPRA No. MED0001200342 — Registered medical practitioner, general registration

This process is a completely normal physiological and stress-induced response that causes the follicles to enter their resting phase prematurely.

What an Auckland Hair Transplant Costs

Most procedures fall between $12,000 and $17,000, and two plans in that range can still sit thousands apart, depending on the areas treated, the number of grafts, and your personalised plan.

What we will commit to.

You get an exact figure before you decide anything, in writing, everything included. Nothing appears later that wasn't in that number. Same price, same inclusions, same standard at all our clinics. Weekly payment plans are available.

And if a procedure isn't the right move for you yet, the conversation ends there, not with a quote.

What your investment covers

  • A planning conversation with your Hair Growth Advisor
  • Clinical assessment and hairline design with your treating doctor
  • The full FUE procedure, performed personally by your treating doctor
  • Data-driven graft mapping for density and placement
  • Take-home aftercare package
  • Medical haircare where clinically appropriate
  • Free follow-up for up to 18 months

Choosing Local Care Over Travelling Overseas

Medical tourism can seem attractive at first, due to package deals and low prices, but the full experience can cost more than just the procedure.

A local clinic in Auckland operates under New Zealand healthcare standards and is more accessible and ready to support you than a foreign clinic. From the initial discovery call through to your procedure and recovery, you will have a committed team within reach that is available for questions and assistance in your own time zone, and can provide highly accessible assistance.

Doctor Perspective:

“Now, for me, a hair transplant isn't a one-off event. It's two years surrounding it. You're not going to get that overseas. You'll be seen on one day, sent back to Australia and be forgotten about. Now, what happens if there's an issue? What happens if the hairs don't grow like they should? What happens if you need to get a revision procedure, if things go very poorly? I've seen enough people who have travelled overseas and come back; the hair transplant hasn't gone as expected, and they can be very difficult to treat afterwards, because their donor, the area that we need to take [hair] from, has been brought to the point that repairing is difficult to impossible.”

Dr David Ballantyne, Medical Practitioner - AHPRA No. MED0001212633

When you travel overseas for a hair transplant, support is less accessible after the procedure, and you may run into hidden costs and logistics. Flights from Auckland to Turkey or Thailand can cost around $1,800, not including additional fees for accommodations, insurance, transfers and time off work.

Your hair transplant is a long-term decision and should be planned like one. By choosing local care, you have time for detailed consultations, personalised treatment planning and accessible, continued support during your recovery period.
