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 Restoration: Exploring If Is It Right for You?

Hair Restoration: Is It Right for You?

Are you finding yourself staring in the mirror, contemplating the changes in your hairline or the thinning of your locks? Hair loss can be a challenging experience, impacting not only your physical appearance but also your confidence and self-esteem. In the quest for a solution, many individuals consider hair restoration as a viable option. However, the decision to pursue hair restoration is a personal one that requires careful consideration of various factors.

Understanding Hair Loss:

Before delving into the world of hair restoration, it’s essential to understand the root cause of your hair loss. Hair loss can result from a variety of factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions, or even stress. Consulting with a healthcare professional or a qualified dermatologist can help identify the underlying cause of your hair loss and guide you toward appropriate treatment options.

Types of Hair Restoration:

There are different approaches to hair restoration, ranging from non-surgical to surgical procedures. Non-surgical options include topical medications, laser therapy, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments. On the other hand, surgical options, such as hair transplant procedures, involve the transplantation of hair follicles from one area of the scalp to the affected area.

Factors to Consider:

Cost: Hair restoration procedures can vary significantly in cost. It’s crucial to consider your budget and whether the financial investment aligns with your priorities.
Expected Results: While restoration can yield impressive results, it’s important to have realistic expectations. Results may vary from person to person, and it’s essential to discuss achievable outcomes with your chosen provider.
Downtime: Surgical procedures may involve a recovery period, during which you may need to avoid certain activities. Consider how much downtime you can afford and whether it aligns with your lifestyle.
Maintenance: Some hair restoration methods require ongoing maintenance. Consider whether you are willing to commit to follow-up treatments or care routines for optimal results.
Emotional Impact: Hair loss can have a profound emotional impact. Consider how the decision to pursue hair restoration aligns with your mental and emotional well-being.

Consultation with Professionals:

Before making any decisions, schedule consultations with reputable professionals. These consultations provide an opportunity to discuss your concerns, explore available options, and gain insights into the potential outcomes. Reputable practitioners will assess your candidacy for various procedures and provide honest recommendations based on your individual circumstances.

Alternatives to Hair Restoration:

It’s important to note that hair restoration may not be the right choice for everyone. Some individuals opt for non-invasive alternatives, such as wigs, hairpieces, or embracing their natural look with confidence. These alternatives offer a non-permanent solution and can be tailored to your preferences and comfort level.

Conclusion:

In the quest for the perfect solution to hair loss, it’s crucial to weigh the pros and cons of hair restoration and consider your personal preferences, lifestyle, and budget. Consulting with professionals and understanding the root cause of your hair loss are crucial steps in making an informed decision. Whether you choose to embrace natural alternatives or explore the possibilities of hair restoration, remember that the decision is ultimately yours to make based on what feels right for you.
