FUE Hair Transplant (Modified Follicular Unit Extraction)

No-scalpel, no-suture Modified FUE hair transplant performed at a nationally accredited day procedure centre in Melbourne CBD. Individual follicular units are extracted one by one from the donor zone using local anaesthesia, then implanted into thinning or bald areas. Walk-in walk-out procedure with no linear scarring, no IV sedation required. Treats male and female pattern hair loss, traction alopecia, and hairline restoration.

Melbourne Hair Restoration offers Modified Follicular Unit Extraction and Implantation — an advanced, minimally invasive hair transplant technique performed at a nationally accredited day procedure centre at Suite 10, 45 Collins Street in Melbourne's CBD. Unlike traditional strip-harvest (FUT) surgery, this method uses no scalpel and no sutures: follicular units (natural groupings of one to four hairs) are individually extracted from the permanent donor zone at the back and sides of the scalp using a micro-punch device under local anaesthesia, then carefully sorted and implanted into precisely angled recipient sites in the thinning or bald areas of the scalp. Because no strip of tissue is removed, there is no linear scar — only tiny circular punch sites in the donor zone that heal invisibly within days. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia only, requiring no intravenous sedation, making it safe and comfortable on an outpatient basis. Patients walk in and walk out on the day of surgery, with no hospitalisation required. Melbourne Hair Restoration treats both men and women experiencing hair loss from androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness), traction alopecia, scarring alopecia, and hairline correction. The clinic also performs facial hair transplantation including beard transplant, moustache restoration, and eyebrow transplantation using the same no-scalpel FUE technique. The operating surgeon holds full membership with the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) — Australia's ISHRS-preferred practitioner listing — and full membership with the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine. Graft counts for a typical full-crown session in Melbourne range from 1,500 to 4,000+ follicular units depending on the extent of hair loss (Norwood scale stage), donor density, and desired density of the result. Pricing in Melbourne is customised based on graft count; an initial consultation at AUD $200 (with a partial Medicare rebate of AUD $72) is required before a treatment plan and quotation are provided. The Collins Place location offers a discreet, professional setting in a premium Collins Street address for patients seeking privacy.
