What is Hair Transplant Surgery?
Hair transplant surgery involves relocating healthy hair follicles from a donor area (usually the back of the head) to areas experiencing hair thinning or baldness.
At Crown Clinic, we specialise in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), and CPI (Crown Precision Implantation), both are minimally invasive and highly effective hair transplant methods that deliver natural-looking results.
If you are considering hair transplant surgery to help regain your confidence and reside in the Sydney area, please contact us for more information or book an appointment.
What is a Hair Transplantation Procedure and How Can Sydney Patients Benefit?
At Crown Clinic, we offer a variety of hair restoration procedures to treat different types of hair loss. Each method is designed to provide natural and lasting results, ensuring our patients achieve the best possible outcome for their unique hair loss needs.
Our most popular method is the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant. This minimally invasive procedure involves moving hair-bearing follicles (grafts) from the donor area (typically the back or sides of the head) to areas experiencing thinning or baldness, such as the hairline, temples, top of the scalp, or crown.
In addition to FUE, Crown Clinic also offers CPI (Crown Precision Implantation) and Sapphire Hair Transplant Procedures, which provide additional options for patients based on their specific goals and preferences.
- FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): Grafts are extracted individually and transplanted into the thinning or balding areas. This method aims to be minimally invasive and provide natural-looking results with minimal scarring.
- CPI (Crown Precision Implantation): CPI, a direct hair implantation method, uses a special pen-like tool to implant hair follicles directly into the scalp without the need for prior incisions.
This method allows for greater precision in hair placement and angle, providing highly natural and dense results. CPI can be particularly useful for patients who want a more controlled and detailed hair transplant process.
- Sapphire Hair Transplant: In this technique, sapphire blades are used to create the incisions where the hair follicles will be transplanted. These ultra-sharp blades allow for more precise and smaller incisions, promoting faster healing and minimising trauma to the surrounding tissue. Sapphire FUE is known for providing a smoother, more natural look due to the refined precision of the implantation process.
What treatment to choose?
At Crown Clinic, we offer tailored hair transplant treatments to meet the unique needs of our Sydney patients.
Each method has its own set of advantages, and the choice of procedure will depend on your individual needs, hair loss pattern, and desired results. Here’s a closer look at the potential benefits of the procedures we offer:
- FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction):
- Less Scarring: FUE eliminates the need for large incisions or stitches, reducing the risk of visible scarring. Tiny extraction points heal quickly and are barely detectable, even under close examination.
- Faster Recovery: With no major incisions, recovery from FUE is swift. Most patients can return to work and resume daily activities within a few days, making it an ideal choice for busy individuals.
- Safe and Effective: FUE is a well-established method that aims to provide long-lasting results while prioritising safety.
- Permanent Results: The transplanted hair follicles are intended to continue growing naturally, aiming to provide a long-term solution to hair loss.
- Virtually Painless: Local anaesthesia ensures minimal discomfort, and post-operative soreness is easily managed.
- CPI (Crown Precision Implantation):
- Higher Precision: CPI aims to allow for greater control in implanting hair follicles, with the goal of ensuring they are placed at the correct angle and direction for optimal density and natural-looking results.
- No Incisions Required: The CPI method does not require prior incisions, reducing trauma to the scalp and minimising healing time.
- Ideal for Detailed Work: CPI is particularly suitable for smaller areas requiring detailed attention, such as the hairline or eyebrows.
- Minimally Invasive and Virtually Painless: Similar to FUE, CPI is performed under local anaesthesia with minimal discomfort.
- Sapphire Hair Transplant:
- Smoother Results: The use of sapphire blades aims to allow for more precise, smaller incisions, potentially reducing trauma to the surrounding tissue.
- Faster Healing: Sapphire blades cause less damage to the scalp, leading to faster healing and fewer visible scars.
- Enhanced Density: Sapphire blades allow for closer placement of grafts, enabling greater hair density and more natural-looking results.
Things You Need to Know
Before Undergoing FUE Hair Transplant
How the Surgery Works
Understanding the process of a hair transplant procedure at Crown Clinic in Sydney will ensure you are well-prepared and know how to care for your hair post-treatment.
Whether you choose the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), CPI (Crown Precision Implantation), or Sapphire Hair Transplant method, the overall steps remain similar, with some variations based on the technique.
Pre-Procedure
Before undergoing any hair transplant procedure, patients should take specific steps to ensure the best results and minimise risks:
- Avoid anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen for 3 days before the procedure.
- Refrain from consuming alcohol or exposing your scalp to excessive sun.
- Stop smoking, as it may interfere with the healing process.
Day of Surgery
On the day of your hair transplant, the procedure will be performed under local anaesthesia to ensure comfort. The general process involves the following steps, regardless of whether you choose FUE, CPI, or Sapphire:
- Harvesting Grafts: The hair follicles are extracted from the donor area (typically the back or sides of the head). With FUE, these follicles are removed one by one without the need for stitches.
In Sapphire FUE, sapphire blades are used to make precise, small incisions, allowing for more exact placement.
In CPI, follicles are implanted directly without the need for pre-made incisions.
- Transplantation: The harvested grafts, each containing 1-3 hair follicles, are carefully implanted into the thinning or balding areas of the scalp.
With FUE hair transplantation and Sapphire FUE, the grafts are placed into tiny incisions, while CPI involves implanting the grafts directly with a specialised pen-like tool, allowing for greater control of placement.
Each hair is positioned at the correct angle to match the natural direction of your existing hair for a seamless appearance.
Post-Surgery Care
After the procedure, following the aftercare instructions is essential for a smooth recovery and optimal results:
- Head Elevation: Sleep with your head elevated for the first two nights to minimise swelling.
- Avoid Physical Strain: Refrain from strenuous activities, alcohol, smoking, and direct sun exposure for the first two weeks to prevent complications and protect the newly transplanted grafts.
- Short-Term Swelling: Mild swelling is common but typically subsides after a few days.
Recovery Time
Recovery from a hair transplant procedure at Crown Clinic, whether FUE, Sapphire, or CPI, is relatively quick:
- There are no stitches involved, so the recovery is smoother, with small scabs typically falling off within 12 days.
- Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days.
- No follow-up appointment is required for removing stitches, but regular check-ins with your surgeon may be recommended to monitor healing and progress.
Maintaining Your Hair Transplant Results
To maintain the results of your hair transplant, it’s crucial to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your surgeon. New hair growth usually begins around 3-4 months after the procedure, with full results visible within 12 months.
- Continue your usual hair care routine once the healing process is complete.
- Attend any follow-up consultations to ensure the transplant is progressing as expected.
By adhering to these guidelines, you can enjoy long-lasting, natural results from your FUE, Sapphire, or CPI direct hair implantation transplant.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do hair transplants last?
Hair transplant surgery is generally not painful as a local anaesthetic is used during the procedure and pain medication is prescribed post-surgery.
Is a hair transplant good for hair?
Hair transplantation may be an effective option for restoring natural hair growth. The FUE hair transplant procedure involves transplanting healthy hair follicles, which grow like natural hair, improving hair density and appearance. Over time, patients enjoy thicker, fuller hair that looks completely natural, without the need for ongoing treatments.
What is the success rate of hair transplants?
The success rate of hair transplantation can be high when performed by experienced professionals. At Crown Clinic, we aim for a high success rate, with many patients reporting significant improvement in hair density and natural-looking results.
Can you still go bald after a hair transplant?
The transplanted hair follicles, taken from areas not affected by hair loss (usually the back or sides of the head), are resistant to DHT and therefore do not fall out. However, non-transplanted hair may continue to thin over time. This means that while the transplanted hair will remain, surrounding natural hair may still experience thinning, and follow-up treatments may be needed to maintain uniform density.
Are most hair transplants safe?
Hair transplants, including FUE, CPI, and Sapphire techniques, are generally considered safe procedures when performed by skilled professionals. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and individual results may vary.
How much does a hair transplant cost?
The cost of a hair transplant Sydney depends on the number of grafts required and the method chosen—FUE, CPI, or Sapphire. FUE hair transplant cost typically starts at a few thousand dollars and increases based on the number of grafts needed for the desired results. At Crown Clinic, we offer transparent pricing and flexible financing options to accommodate various budgets and make hair restoration accessible.
