How do we Hold Your Personal Information?

We will hold personal information as either secure physical records, electronically on our intranet system, in cloud storage, and in some cases, records on third party servers, which may be located overseas.

In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect so as to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, or modification of personal information. This also applies to disposal of personal information.

We further protect personal information by restricting access to personal information to only those who need access to the personal information do their job. We will destroy or de-identify personal information once it is no longer needed for a valid purpose or required to be kept by law.

From time to time we may engage an overseas recipient to provide services to us, such as cloud-based storage solutions. Please note that the use of overseas service providers to store personal information will not always involve a disclosure of personal information to that overseas provider. However, by providing us with your personal information, you consent to the storage of such information on overseas servers (such as servers located in the United States of America) and acknowledge that Australian Privacy Principle 8.1 will not apply to such disclosures. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that an overseas recipient breaches the APPs, that entity will not be bound by, and you will not be able seek redress under, the Privacy Act.

Before and After Photo Disclaimer

The before and after images presented on this website illustrate the results of individuals who have undergone hair transplant procedures. Please be aware that results may vary significantly based on several factors, including hair type, density, skin condition, age, overall health, individual immune response, and whether or not patients take prescription hair loss medication.

It is important to note that a hair transplant is considered a minor surgical procedure. While the risk of complications is low, it is essential that these risks are discussed in depth with our team before proceeding. This ensures that you have a comprehensive understanding of the procedure and can make an informed decision.

These images are intended to serve as examples of potential outcomes and should not be construed as guarantees. We encourage you to consult with our team to discuss your specific circumstances and the realistic expectations for your treatment.
