Hair restoration is a journey, and getting off to the right start with the right doctor is
most important.
Hair restoration is a journey, and getting off to the right start with the right doctor is
most important.
- 1Identify hair loss area
Over 70% of men suffer from some sort of hair loss by the age of 50. For women, 50% will suffer from hair loss by the age of 60. Since then, hair loss can affect your confidence, relationships and self-esteem.
Thanks to hair transplants, you have a medically proven treatment to solve it permanently. The earlier you take action, the more hair you keep and the sooner you get your confidence back.
- 2Finding the right doctorInformation about causes of hair loss and treatments are extensively available, and there are many options including low-cost surgeries performed by non-medical personnel. Any clinic that appears to offer competitive price is highly likely to use non-medical personnel performing the surgery, non-approved instruments, compromise on survival rates of your follicles or safety protocols.
What stands us apart is that you always meet with Dr Young for your pre-surgery consultation and post surgery follow up appointments, not sales team or consultant. You will also have continue to have direct line of communication with Dr Young for lifetime. - 3ConsultationWhen you contact us at Young Hair Restoration Clinic, it is understandable that you will have many questions, and perhaps feel uncomfortable speaking about your hair loss.
As first step, you will have a private one-to-one consultation with our head doctor - Dr Young – both options of video call or clinic visit are available. The consultation usually takes 30-45 mins and is highly educational and engaging.
During consultation, your medical and hair loss history, physical wellbeing, goals and expectations will be discussed. Following a diagnostic of your area of concern, Dr Young will examine your scalp with a Dermatoscope, he will then come up with a plan for the best course of action for your recommended procedure and discuss results you can expect.

Hair loss happens when the cycle of hair growth is disturbed, resulting in the hair shedding quicker than anticipated, not growing as expected, or not growing back at all. The most typical cause of hair loss is genetic male and female pattern baldness. However, the following conditions can cause hair loss in men and women:
- Medical conditions, that include thyroid issues and anemia
- Medication that affects hair growth
- Stress
- Excessive strain on the hair scalp by certain hairstyles
- Hair-pulling habit in which there is an irresistible impulse to pull out hair (trichotillomania)
- Immune system disfunction where patchy hair loss (alopecia areata)
Hair loss is more typical in men because androgenic alopecia - the most common form of hair loss is associated with a testosterone by-product called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Men have far more testosterone than women, hence they are much more likely to be impacted by this.
Medically speaking, alopecia occurs when enzymes in the body transform testosterone into DHT. And since testosterone is a male hormone, women are not as dramatically affected by this conversion as men.
Once the body is pulsing with DHT, the hair follicles are at risk. That’s because the main job of this by-product of testosterone is to strike hair follicles by shrinking them. This makes it difficult to grow hair and makes it hard for follicles to function.

All hair transplant procedures are performed by Dr Young.
More to it, unlike other hair transplant clinics, where your pre-surgery consultation is held with sales consultants, at Young Hair you always meet with Dr Young himself.
Why it is important? Consultants might have a different idea of how many hairs/grafts a surgeon might be able to achieve on the day, which they will quote you on and what will result in your surgery investment.
(It is also part of Medical Board Guidelines (1/7/2023) whereby the first cosmetic consultation must be done by the doctor performing the procedure)
On the day of your procedure, the doctor will see your donor area for the first time, meaning if the doctor foresees any issues achieving quotes results, you will only be advised of this right before the operation. In the case of some clinics there are FIFO workers who will attend to you for your booked surgery, and this is the first time you meet them.
All post-procedure appointments are also held with Dr. Young. In most clinics, you will meet with a consultant, who wasn’t present during your surgery. But not at Young Hair – where you will always be consulted by Dr. Young himself to receive consistency in the treatment plan.
You will be invited to come in for follow-up appointments at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months.
All procedures are performed at our clinic in Darlinghurst. It is a purpose built clinic and you can expect a calming and private space.

The hair comes from the back of the patient’s scalp where hair usually grows for life. This is typically at the back of the head. This is called the Safe Donor Area.
This area is a non renewable resource- hence the preservation and appropriate use of these follicles must be considered.
Body Hair transplants can also be performed, see our Podcast.
Other harvesting areas are Beard, chest and abdomen.
FUE is a no-scalpel procedure that transplants hair follicles into the area of concern to increase the hair density under local anaesthesia.

FUE is a no-scalpel procedure that transplants hair follicles into the area of concern to increase the hair density under local anaesthesia.
Here is what happens on the day:
- The donor is prepared by shaving the area to keep the hairs 2-3mm long.
- Hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area of the hair using cutting-edge instruments. The most important is the punch that rotates, oscillates, and has an adjustable depth, allowing Dr. Young to set exact extraction depth to suit the follicles and the scalp. This reduces the possibility of any injury to the healthy hairs.
- The donor area is usually the back of the head, where the hair is not affected by hair loss. Dr. Young will consider the number of hairs required and the density of follicles in the donor area against each when deciding how many follicles should be extracted and implanted. This is to prevent over-harvesting from the donor area.
- The follicles will then be prepared for implantation. They are separated into groups of hairs, sorted and placed in an active plasma solution that assures the health of the extracted hair follicle.
- The extracted hair follicles are placed into the area of concern. The implantation is done very carefully to correspond with the direction of the growth of your existing hair to restore a natural-looking hairline, so that it is undetectable if you even had a hair transplant.
The part of the procedure where you will feel the most pain is the numbing injections. It takes up to 10 minutes to administer and Dr. Young will use a vibrating device to the area being injected to help to reduce the discomfort. The administration will need to be repeated after 2 or 3 hours, but we aim to do so while the scalp is still numb so that the injections are not uncomfortable.
It is not uncommon to feel slight discomfort during the extraction and implantation of the hair, however, it is manageable. Your safety is our priority, so the exact safe dose must be calculated and adhered to on your surgery day.

After your procedure, when you are about to go home (note, this procedure does not require an overnight stay) we will provide you with everything you require to take care of your new hair in the first few weeks, including comprehensive 30 days instructions for washing your hair, your hair stray and prescription for medication to manage any discomfort.
Patients are advised to wait 5 days after the procedure before undertaking a hair wash. By around day 14 the patient’s head should be scab free.
What stands us apart from other hair restoration clinics that we see our patients as lifelong partners of our hair care services. You’ll be able to stay in contact with us for ongoing support and help making sure your hair growth progress continues as expected.
You will be invited to come in for follow-up appointments at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. You will always be able to contact Dr. Young for advice.
When can I fly after my hair transplant? We would advise from day 3 onwards.

The hair transplant procedure is a journey. You will start seeing growing hair from about 6 months, with seeing final result around 9 to 12 months mark.
No two patients are alike, and hence we assess all patients and their cases individually.
However, this is approximate, as your final proposal will depend on the factors discussed in your consultation.
When speaking to other clinics, please always inquire who will be performing your procedure, as most clinics that might appear to offer competitive pricing will use non-medical personnel to perform your surgery. We also encourage you to inquire about personnel meeting with you for pre and post-surgical consultations, as often you will meet with sales consultants rather than the actual doctor performing your procedure.

TrichoTest™ is a genetic test for hair loss that analyses gene variations and lifestyle factors so that personalised hair loss treatments can be accurately recommended.
Studies show there is a relationship between your genetic profile and how your hair loss responds to different types of treatment.
This means not all hair loss treatments work for everybody and the success of any given treatment is dependent on your genetic profile and lifestyle factors.
Thanks to the unique analysis performed by TrichoTest™ Dr Young can identify which hair loss treatments are most likely to provide the best results for you.
Further, the report provides scientific information by the Medical Director at GX Sciences to assist Dr. Young in creating a treatment plan that is right for you.
Note, not all patients will require to undergo TrichoTest.
