Alopecia is the process of hair loss. Hair loss can occur for different reasons, which can be discussed during your free consultation. The most common form is male and female pattern alopecia which is still poorly understood. It is important to realize that the hair on the sides and back of the scalp of even severe cases of alopecia are somewhat immune to this process. This is precisely the area that hair is harvested during hair transplantation. Alopecia can be due to metabolic anomalies that can be evaluated by Dr. Zacco during a scheduled treatment appointment.

What is a hair transplantation?

Even significantly balding men and women will have relatively thick hair on the sides and back of the scalp. This is because the follicles in this region are genetically programmed to resist the usual cause of hair loss. Hair transplantation is a process in which the hair follicles and its surrounding tissue, a graft, is surgically removed from the back and/or sides of the scalp and transplanted where it is needed. The transplanted follicles usually survive for life and therefore the process is usually permanent. The transplanted tissue, or graft, is living tissue we obtain from you that continues to grow hair for life requiring regular haircuts and will gray naturally. It is your living and growing hair, surgically moved. At AZ Hair Restoration, we employ a combination of proven techniques. We don’t believe that one method of hair transplantation fits all. We utilize several different methods to best fit the individual patient. Sometimes we will use two different techniques on the same patient. This requires more effort, experience, and training. At AZ Hair Restoration, we feel our patients deserve the best.

What is the cost of hair transplantation?

The total surface area and severity of alopecia is different from person to person. During your free consultation, Dr. Arthur Zacco will openly and honestly outline the cost and individualized plan for you. There will be no hidden costs. Financing is available for those who qualify.

How successful is hair transplantation?

Very successful. The vast majority of transplanted grafts survive and AZ Hair Restoration is known for producing a natural appearing transplantation that is virtually undetectable. If requested, we have previous patients available from all walks of life that have graciously made themselves available to talk or meet with you. Dr. Zacco has been performing HT surgery in Wake County since 1997.

Can anything be done about large noticeable plugs I have as a result of a hair transplant at another facility?

Dr. Arthur Zacco have been performing corrective hair transplantation from other clinics for years and finds it personally and professionally rewarding. If the grafts are very large in the hairline, part of them can be moved to another area to make the plugs smaller. Also, smaller grafts can be performed around of preexisting large plugs providing the patient with a more natural appearing hairline.

Can anything be done about the scar in my mustache from a cleft palate surgery?

Scars in hair bearing areas can be camouflaged by transplanting your own living and growing hair directly into the scar. This is useful with scars of the scalp, mustache (scar from surgery to repair cleft palate), beard, eyebrow, and pubic region (caused from burns, surgery, or trauma).

Will I have much pain?

As with any skin procedure, there is some degree of discomfort. We make every effort to minimize the level of discomfort. We use our Ouchless Injection Technique and Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas). Almost all patients inform us afterward that they experienced much less discomfort than they had anticipated. After the procedure there will be minimal discomfort.

There are so many different hair transplant techniques -Which one is the best?

Performing hair transplants in Wake County since 1997, Dr. Arthur Zacco has mastered all hair transplant techniques; FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), Strip FU (Follicular Unit), Strip Linear MFU (Multi Follicular Unit), eyebrow hair transplantation, beard and mustache hair transplantation, and even the metabolic work up for alopecia. Dr. Zacco can use one or more techniques in a single hair transplantation to assure the best possible results for your unique situation.

Hair Loss Treatment in 2021

Posted Byonpageseo

Are you concerned about your hair loss? If you are, 2021 offers more promise for your hairline than ever before. You have a multitude of hair loss treatment options available at AZ Hair Restoration in Raleigh and Apex, North Carolina. These options available to men from throughout the U.S. include:

Dr. Arthur Zacco of AZ Hair Restoration provides in-person and virtual consultations to determine your type of hair loss. He then provides you with options for your hair loss treatment.

These options may include the above procedures and methods, over-the-counter medication recommendations, prescription medication, or lifestyle changes. To help you understand the many options available to you, we discuss the top four hair loss treatments for 2021, below.

Best Hair Loss Treatment for Large Bald Spots

If you are like Great Britain’s Princes William and Harry, you may see a growing bald spot each time you look in the mirror. In fact, Prince William’s hair loss started when he was in his early 20s. Prince Harry, on the other hand, held onto more of his hair until his mid-30s. Now at age 36, Harry is quickly catching up to his brother in the balding sense. But no one has to give into this loss as inevitable, whether you are a prince, celebrity or everyday citizen.

In 2021, your options for hair loss treatments for large bald spots include follicular unit extraction (FUE) and strip hair transplant (FUT), the latter also called a follicular unit transplant by doctors. In fact, the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery names these two types of surgical hair restoration as the only proven methods for bald spots.

These two procedures involve surgical removal of hair from an area of your scalp with healthy growth. Your hair restoration doctor implants these follicles or the strip of follicles onto the bald spot. It is a lengthy procedure that sometimes requires multiple days for completion. But most patients agree that the results justify your time, effort and costs. That is why doctors rank follicular unit extraction (FUE) and strip hair transplant (FUT) as the top option for hair loss treatment in 2021.

Best Over-the-Counter Medication for Hair Loss

According to experts, the best over-the-counter medication for hair loss treatment is Minoxidil. This FDA-approved drug works best for male pattern baldness. You can start treatment before visiting a hair restoration doctor, but the results take several months. This makes it important that you consult with your hair loss expert for accurate diagnosis of your type of loss and the best treatment.

Minoxidil is a topical liquid or foam that you apply daily to your scalp, just as you would a hair tonic or styling mousse. Clinical studies show that this medication works to fight hair loss. It works well for many men, in fact. But to maintain the results, you cannot quit using the product daily. If you do cease this hair loss treatment, your earlier loss will start again.

Best Prescription For Hair Loss

If a daily oral medication is easier for your busy lifestyle, you have an option for this type of treatment. Your hair restoration doctor may prescribe FDA-approved finasteride, if he believes it will prove effective for you. It only works for men to treat male pattern hair loss, androgenetic alopecia.

Best Overall Treatment For Hair Loss

Maybe you do not seek a permanent hair loss treatment, such as follicular unit extraction (FUE) and strip hair transplant (FUT). Or, perhaps you must wait before having surgery, such as to finance your procedure. If so, this “best overall hair loss treatment” can work for you. It works for many men who seek to stop balding and regrow hair. This final solution in the top four hair loss treatments for 2021 is daily minoxidil plus finasteride.

Studies show that combining minoxidil and finasteride on a daily basis can promote hair growth and stop balding. In fact, 94 percent of men show clear improvement in their hair growth using minoxidil with finasteride, according to a study published in the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology.

As with any medication or treatment, you first need a clear diagnosis from an appropriately experienced and licensed doctor. Dr. Arthur Zacco of Raleigh, North Carolina is a Board Certified hair transplant physician. His Raleigh office provides in-person and virtual consultations for men throughout the U.S. and even in other countries.
