I can’t say enough good things about this place! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and taken care of. Dr Zacco and Melissa were friendly, professional, and really took the time to listen to what I wanted and assisted with their professional opinion to what would be the best option. Their attention to detail was incredible.

Day 1 after surgery and the result exceeded my expectations. No pain or discomfort.

Excited to see the final result in a year!

Hello my name is Brandon. I have debated on whether or not I should have a hair transplant for a long time. I finally decided to set up a consultation appointment to look into it and ended up getting it done. Not once but 2x. I have no regrets. Dr zacco, Mellisa and Nicholas and the rest of their crew did an awesome job. I ended up going with the ( FUT ) follicular unit transplantation (2x). I have also had multiple PRP treatments and plan to get more to maintain it. If you are worried about pain there is no need because it is not bad at all. I was awake watching t.v. through a lot of it. The most pain for me was when they would have to inject the numbing medication and even that was not terrible. I do recommend listening and taking their advice on how to take care of it after the procedures. It is a long process but it is def worth it. I am getting ready to schedule me another PRP treatment soon. If you are considering getting a hair transplant I would definitely recommend reaching out to them (AZ hair restoration) they are very good at keeping in touch and answering any questions you may have. It don’t hurt to at least set up a consultation appointment. Hope the best for any that decides to go through with it like I did.
I have researched hair transplant for 2 years. Each procedure and read 100's of testimonials. I finally decided I wanted to take the plunge. I looked at clinic's in other countries for a little less money, but after travel expenses and some of the horror stories I saw I decided to stay local for a few bucks more. I wanted the peace of mind that should anything go wrong I wouldn't have to travel back to another country. Can't put a price on peace of mind. I went in for the consultation. It was not high pressure sales. It was informative, and they were in no rush to answer all of my questions. From the 1st visit with Dr. Zacco, Melissa and Nick, I just had a good feeling. I was apprehensive about actually having the procedure done. I can now say I was worried for no reason at all. The team at AZ Hair Restoration made the entire procedure extremely comfortable, true professionals. I fealt no pain, and slept through most of it. They fed me a nice lunch, had the TV on, the chair was incredibly comfortable. Something unexpected was that Dr. Zacco called me later that evening once I was home to see how I was doing. He genuinly cared how I was doing and asked if I needed anything. Great guy!! It has been a few weeks, the 1st 2 nights had some minor discomfort, but everything healed up great. I also had the PRP done, Dr. Zacco found my vein in 2 seconds and had the blood drawn right away before I could even look, as I hate needles. 110% great experience from start to the follow ups. Thanks Nick for answering a ton of after care questions. Thanks Melissa for showing compassion and for making me feel so comfortable. Such a fun crew, very easy going, but professional. Zero regrets, and I am going back in 3 months for more PRP treatment. Thanks AZ Hair Restoration, you guys rock!!

Great People ! Very professional from beginning to the end, I was very concerned and cautious about hair transplants, even looking into going to turkey because they were so popular, but I called AZ hair restoration and was reassured that the process will be simple and easy, they have 30 years plus experience and I can definitely tell the difference, because step by step, each process was exactly the way they described it, it was nerve racking personally, but all was at ease by their professionalism, even after the surgery it was calm and smooth, they had all instructions easily written down to follow in a particular order, I am very pleased with the results, the process wasn't so painful, and I am looking forward to the second part of the my surgery that I will have in a couple of months, I know I am in good hands, I HIGHLY recommend AZ restorations, very competent, professional and good People.

I received a hair transplant about 2 years ago from AZ Hair and it has been a great success. My crown area was severely thinning and my hairline was beginning to receed. I met with Dr. Zacco, Melissa, and the team and they educated me on my options. I followed Dr. Zacco's recommendations on the type of procedure to do and I'm happy that I did. My crown has now filled in and I'm not worried about a bald spot showing. My hairline looks great as well as is no longer receding. The price is also affordable compared to other places which makes the decision more economically feasible. I feel like I've regained a youthful look and no longer feel self conscious about my hair when in public. Recommend going here for a hair procedure.

I’ve had two procedures done (FUE & FUT) by Dr Zacco and his office team. I'm satisfied with the results. For the first procedure, I had requested an FUE. I didn't consider the FUT, because I was afraid of the strip scars I'd viewed in the images online. I also read many horror stories in conducting research regarding this procedure. Dr Zacco explained FUT would be the preferred method for my particular case. But ultimately, as the client, I made my own choice. The results of FUE came out great but left me desiring more. A year later, I requested a second FUE in a new area. Dr Zacco once again recommended the FUT to achieve the results I wanted. After discussing what my concerns were, Dr Zacco explained the pros and cons and assured me the scar would be minimal and painless after it healed. After much discussion, I took a leap faith going with the FUT and it was the right decision. My FUT results exceeded that of my previous FUE. I am now scheduling my third transplant by the end of 2023. Here’s my personal recommendation for those interested in a transplant:

1. Accept that you may never regain all of the original hair you once had. But you can be confident that a transplant will satisfactorily enhance what you naturally have.
2. Achieving desired results may require additional transplants after the initial procedure. If you don't have the patience or the means consider other options.
3. Trusting the advice of the Doctor, over someone without experience in transplants, is highly recommended for a successful outcome.

Choose Your Hair Transplant Clinic With Confidence

The hair transplant clinic you choose has a direct impact on every stage of your treatment, from the initial diagnosis and hairline design to donor preservation, graft placement, and follow-up care. Experience matters, but so does knowing who is responsible for the medical and surgical decisions behind your procedure.

At AZ Hair Restoration, we are the only physician-owned hair transplantation facility in Wake County. Dr. Arthur Zacco personally evaluates your hair loss, plans your procedure, and remains involved throughout your treatment, giving you direct access to the physician responsible for restoring your hair.

What to Look for in a Hair Transplant Clinic

A polished website or low headline price does not tell you who will evaluate your hair loss, perform the surgical stage,s or support you during recovery. A reputable clinic should be completely transparent about the physician, team, techniques, and long-term plan behind the procedure.

Before choosing a hair restoration clinic, look closely at:

  • The physician’s training, licensing, and hair restoration experience
  • Who performs the consultation and diagnoses the hair loss
  • Who designs the hairline and surgical plan
  • Who performs donor harvesting and creates the recipient sites
  • Whether the clinic offers both FUE and FUT
  • How the available donor supply will be protected
  • The safety, anesthesia, and comfort protocols
  • Genuine before and after results from the clinic’s own patients
  • Access to the physician throughout recovery and follow-up
  • Clear pricing without hidden procedural fees

Why Physician Ownership Matters

Hair transplant surgery should never feel like a production line. It requires an accurate diagnosis, careful donor management, precise hairline design, and a clear understanding of how your natural hair loss is likely to progress.

At AZ Hair Restoration, Dr. Zacco directs the medical and surgical plan while our experienced technicians support the procedure within defined roles. This physician-led structure ensures that major decisions are under direct medical oversight, providing continuity from the initial consultation through the final stages of growth.

Results From Our Hair Transplant Clinic

Results should speak for themselves. Hairline design, graft distribution, density, and blending should complement the patient’s facial proportions and existing growth pattern rather than produce the same standardized look every time.

Our before-and-after gallery includes unedited photographs and videos from patients treated by Dr. Zacco and our team. Explore results from FUE, FUT, female hair transplantation, and facial hair restoration to see what careful planning and precise follicular placement can achieve.

All photographs show actual patients of AZ Hair Restoration. The outcomes are specific to those individuals and do not necessarily reflect the results that every patient will experience.

Safety, Anesthesia, and Patient Comfort

Comfort is not an afterthought at our hair transplant clinic. Every procedure begins with a medical assessment and detailed surgical plan, allowing Dr. Zacco to determine the right transplant technique, donor strategy, graft requirements, and recipient areas before surgery begins.

We perform hair transplantation under local anesthesia and use our Ouchless Injection Technique with nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, to minimize discomfort. You will also receive clear aftercare instructions and direct access to our team if questions arise during recovery.

What Happens on the Day of Your Hair Transplant?

Your procedure follows a carefully planned sequence based on the technique selected and the number of grafts required. We explain the schedule before treatment so you can arrive knowing exactly what will happen at each stage.

1

Arrival and Treatment Planning

We begin by reviewing the treatment plan, preparing the scalp, and confirming the areas being restored. Dr. Zacco finalizes the hairline and recipient-site design according to your facial proportions, natural growth pattern, and long-term hair-loss plan.

2

Donor Hair Harvesting

Donor follicles are harvested using FUE, FUT, or a combined approach. Dr. Zacco selects the method according to the graft requirements, available donor supply, hairstyle preferences, and need to preserve options for future treatment.

3

Graft Preparation and Placement

The harvested tissue is prepared into individual follicular-unit grafts and organized for placement. Recipient sites control the direction, angle, and distribution of the transplanted hair, helping the new growth blend naturally with the hair that remains.

Frequently
Asked Questions

Dr. Zacco personally evaluates your hair loss, creates the surgical plan, and performs the key medical stages of your procedure. Our experienced technicians work as part of his physician-led team, supporting graft preparation and placement within clearly defined roles.

Price matters, but the lowest quote can become extremely expensive if poor planning, donor damage, or unnatural placement requires corrective treatment. Compare the physician’s experience, surgical involvement, donor strategy, results, and follow-up care before comparing the final cost.

No. You do not need to arrive knowing which technique you want. Dr. Zacco will examine your donor area, hair-loss pattern, and graft requirements before explaining which method gives you the strongest immediate and long-term plan.

Offering both techniques allows us to base the recommendation on your hair loss instead of the limitations of the clinic. FUE and FUT use different harvesting approaches, and the strongest option depends on your donor supply, graft requirements, hairstyle, and likelihood of future procedures.

Your donor area contains a limited supply of follicles that can be moved safely. Careful planning protects that supply, supports the current result, and preserves your options if progressive hair loss creates a need for further transplantation.

Yes, Dr. Zacco performs corrective procedures for selected patients who have undergone transplantation elsewhere. He will assess the existing hairline, graft placement, scarring, and remaining donor supply before explaining what can be improved.

A well-planned transplant is designed to follow the angle, direction, and distribution of natural hair growth. Dr. Zacco also considers your facial proportions, existing hair, and future loss when designing the hairline and placing the grafts.

Follow-up care is a vital part of the process, not an optional extra. It allows us to review healing, answer questions, and monitor growth while giving you direct support throughout recovery.

Ask who will diagnose your hair loss, design the hairline, harvest donor follicles, and create the recipient sites. You should also ask about credentials, available techniques, donor preservation, total costs, aftercare, and access to the physician following surgery.

Absolutely. Your free consultation gives you the opportunity to meet Dr. Zacco, see the clinical environment, and understand the complete plan before making a decision. You will receive a direct recommendation and clear pricing without being pushed into a procedure on the day.
