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 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.

What is a Hair Transplantation Procedure?

Hair transplantation combines advanced surgical techniques with artistry to address hair loss and restore a youthful hairline and natural hair growth. The procedure involves relocating your living, growing hair from the back or sides of your scalp to areas where it’s needed, such as the scalp, beard, eyebrows, and even the pubic region. In rare cases, hair can also be harvested from the beard, chest, abdomen, or back and transplanted to balding areas. At AZ Hair Restoration, we use the latest, most effective techniques to ensure optimal results tailored to your specific needs.

Individual Care for the Best Results

We understand that every patient is unique, and our approach reflects that. During your initial consultation, Dr. Zacco works with you to understand your goals and concerns, creating a personalized treatment plan designed specifically for you. At AZ Hair Restoration, our commitment is to provide the best hair transplant results possible.

Minimizing Hair Transplant Pain

Your comfort is our priority throughout the entire process. While some discomfort is normal with any surgical procedure, we go above and beyond to minimize it. Using our AZ Ouchless Injection Technique and Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas), we ensure you experience as little discomfort as possible. Our patients often report far less discomfort than anticipated, making the experience smoother and more pleasant.

Follicular Unit Transplantation

FUT is one of the most time-tested and proven methods of hair restoration. The procedure begins with harvesting a thin strip of hair-bearing skin from the donor area—usually at the back or sides of the scalp. Our surgical team ensures the extraction process is seamless, using advanced techniques to minimize trauma and promote optimal healing. The strip is then dissected under a microscope into individual follicular units (FUs), each containing one to five follicles.

At AZ Hair Restoration, we combine FU and Multiple Follicular Unit (MFU) grafts to enhance hair density and create natural-looking results. By utilizing MFU grafts, which contain multiple follicular units, we can achieve a thicker, fuller appearance, especially behind the hairline.

Multiple Follicular Unit (MFU) vs Follicular Unit (FU)

Dr. Arthur Zacco pioneered the combination of MFU and FU grafting techniques in North Carolina to deliver natural-looking hair restoration. By placing individual FU grafts along the hairline for a feathered, natural appearance and using MFU grafts behind the hairline for increased density, we achieve optimal results tailored to each patient’s needs. This unique combination allows for natural-looking, long-lasting hair growth without requiring special care.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

At AZ Hair Restoration, we also offer FUE as an alternative hair restoration technique. FUE allows individuals to wear their hair very short while concealing any scarring with a #2 clipper or longer. This method is ideal for individuals, such as military personnel, who prefer or are required to wear their hair short.

It’s important to note that many clinics allow technicians—not physicians—to perform FUE procedures, a practice denounced by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) potential risks and inconsistencies. At AZ Hair Restoration, Dr. Arthur Zacco personally performs and oversees all FUE procedures, ensuring the highest level of care and safety.

Hair Transplant Recovery Process

Post-procedure discomfort is minimal, and most patients can resume exercise within four days. No special care is needed for the donor site. About 3-8 weeks after the procedure, the transplanted hair will begin to shed, with new growth starting around the three-month mark. By six months, approximately 50% of the final result will be visible, with full results achieved by 12 months. Welcome the new you with natural, lasting hair growth!
