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 Transplant Before And After: A Transformative Journey

Date05 Jun 2023

Posted Byonpageseo

Hair loss is a distressing experience that significantly dampens physical appearance, self-confidence, and well-being. However, with the latest advancements in medical technology, hair transplantation has emerged as one of the best transformative solutions for individuals seeking to restore their natural hairline and regain their self-esteem. Let’s take a journey of hair transplants, from the initial stages of hair loss to the remarkable before and after results, highlighting the transformative impact it can have on your life.

Understanding the Impact of Hair Loss

If you have noticed that you don’t have as much hair as you used to, don’t worry, you are not alone, and there are options. Hair loss is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide, regardless of age or gender. Various factors can cause it, including the following:

Genetics
Hormonal changes
Stress
Medical conditions

For many individuals, losing hair is extremely emotionally distressing, leading to a loss of self-confidence, anxiety, and even depression. It can affect social interactions, professional opportunities, and overall quality of life.

The Decision to Pursue a Hair Transplant

When faced with hair loss, you can explore various options, from over-the-counter treatments to unconventional remedies. However, these solutions may provide limited or temporary results with unexpected complications. A hair transplant, on the other hand, offers a long-lasting and natural-looking solution. It involves the extraction of healthy hair follicles from a donor area (typically the back or sides of the scalp) and their transplantation into the thinning or balding areas.

Before the Procedure: What to Expect

Before undergoing a hair transplant, it is essential to consult with a qualified hair transplant surgeon or specialist, like the ones at AZ Hair Restoration. During your initial consultation, the specialist will evaluate the extent of hair loss, assess the quality and availability of donor hair, and discuss your expectations and goals. They will explain the different hair transplant techniques available, such as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) or Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), and recommend the most suitable option based on your specific case. It’s essential to understand that your case is unique when compared to others, so for the best results, meet with specialists, and they will help determine the best option for you.

The Hair Transplant Procedure: Step-by-Step

On the day of the procedure, your team will prepare you for the transplant. The procedure typically begins with administering local anesthesia to ensure a painless experience. The surgeon then carefully extracts hair follicles from the donor area using the FUE or FUT technique, depending on the best approach for your unique condition.

In FUE, individual hair follicles are extracted one by one using a specialized tool, leaving minimal scarring. Meanwhile, FUT involves the removal of a strip of scalp containing multiple strands, which are then dissected into individual grafts. Both techniques ensure the preservation of the hair follicles’ integrity and viability.

After the extraction, your surgeon will create tiny incisions or recipient sites in the balding or thinning areas. The extracted hair follicles are then carefully placed into the sites where hair loss occurs, considering the natural hair growth pattern and desired density. Your hair restoration team’s expertise and attention to detail during the placement process are crucial in achieving natural-looking results.

The Healing Process and Post-Transplant Care

Following the hair transplant procedure, you will experience some initial redness, swelling, and scabbing, a normal part of the healing process. The surgical team provides detailed post-operative instructions, including information on how to care for the transplanted area, manage discomfort, and prevent complications. It is essential to follow these instructions carefully to ensure proper healing and optimal results.

The transplanted hair follicles gradually shed over the following weeks and months, entering a dormant phase before regrowth begins. This shedding is temporary and should not cause concern, as it is essential to the natural hair growth cycle. After the shedding phase, new hair growth will emerge from the transplanted follicles, and this hair will continue to grow and thicken over time.

The Remarkable Transformation

The true impact of a hair transplant becomes evident in the before and after results. Restoring a natural hairline, improving density, and enhancing overall appearance can be transformative. Individuals often report a significant boost in self-confidence and a renewed sense of self-worth. With their hair restored, they no longer need to hide their balding areas or rely on temporary solutions. Instead, they can embrace new hairstyles, participate in social activities without self-consciousness, and pursue professional opportunities with renewed confidence.

The Long-lasting Benefits and Continued Care

The results of a hair transplant are long-lasting and can provide a permanent solution to hair loss. The transplanted hair follicles are typically resistant to factors contributing to hair loss, such as genetics or hormonal changes. However, it is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle, follow post-operative care instructions, and address any underlying medical conditions to ensure the continued well-being of the transplanted hair.

Determining Whether or Not Hair Transplant Treatment is Right For You

Hair loss significantly impacts an individual’s life, affecting their self-esteem and overall well-being. However, with the remarkable advancements in hair transplant techniques, you now have the opportunity to embark on a transformative journey. From the initial stages of hair loss to the incredible before and after results, a hair transplant will restore not only your hair but also your confidence and quality of life. If you are struggling with hair loss, then skip the temporary over-the-counter treatments and achieve more permanent results by contacting an expert.
