Day 1 after surgery and the result exceeded my expectations. No pain or discomfort.
Excited to see the final result in a year!
Zacco and Melissa. They took great care of me.
Also, i went there 4 times for PRP as of now and the pain was very little.
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.

Hair Restoration Services at Our Raleigh Clinic
At AZ Hair Restoration, we provide surgical and non-surgical hair restoration treatments at our clinic in Raleigh, North Carolina. Led by Dr. Arthur Zacco, our team creates personalized treatment plans based on the extent of your hair loss, the condition of your donor area, and how your existing follicles are likely to respond to treatment. We use our Ouchless Injection Technique with nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, to minimize discomfort and make your treatment experience as comfortable as possible.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
FUE is a hair transplant technique in which individual follicular units are extracted from a donor area and placed into thinning or balding areas. Because the follicles are removed individually, FUE Hair transplant does not create the linear donor scar associated with strip harvesting.
Dr. Zacco determines whether FUE is the right choice by assessing the number of grafts required, your available donor hair and the likelihood of future procedures. He will explain how FUE compares with FUT and recommend the technique that best supports your immediate and long-term goals.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
FUT Hair Transplant allows a larger number of hair follicles to be transplanted in a single session. A narrow strip of donor tissue is removed and carefully dissected into individual follicular units, helping preserve more of the surrounding donor area when extensive coverage is required.
FUT is particularly valuable for people with significant hair loss or those expected to require further restoration in the future. The donor scar from a previous FUT procedure can also be incorporated into a subsequent procedure, leaving one linear scar rather than creating additional areas of extraction. The right approach depends on the recipient area, donor supply, hairstyle and long-term treatment plan.
Growth Factor Therapy
Growth Factor Therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses concentrated growth factors derived from the patient’s own blood. These growth factors are introduced into the scalp to stimulate follicular activity and improve the thickness and quality of existing hair.
This treatment is ideal for people in the earlier stages of hair loss and can also be combined with hair transplantation to support stronger overall growth. Dr. Zacco will determine the number and timing of your treatments based on your hair loss pattern and goals.
Exosome Therapy
Exosome therapy is another advanced non-surgical option available at AZ Hair Restoration. Exosomes contain signaling molecules that support communication between cells and create a healthier environment for follicular activity and hair growth.
Treatment is performed in our Raleigh clinic using targeted scalp injections. It can be used for selected men and women with thinning hair or combined with Growth Factor Therapy and hair transplantation as part of a comprehensive restoration plan. Dr. Zacco will determine whether exosome therapy is right for you during your consultation.
Types of Hair Loss We Treat in Raleigh
Hair loss can develop for many reasons, and identifying the underlying cause is an important part of selecting the right treatment. At AZ Hair Restoration, we assess men and women from Raleigh, Wake County and surrounding areas with several forms of hair loss, including:
- Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss (Androgenetic Alopecia): Progressive hair loss influenced by genetics and hormones, which can cause a receding hairline, widening part or thinning around the crown.
- Alopecia Areata: An autoimmune condition that can cause sudden, clearly defined patches of hair loss.
- Traction Alopecia: Hair loss associated with repeated tension from tight hairstyles, extensions or other forms of pulling.
- Postpartum Hair Loss: Increased shedding that can develop following childbirth as hormone levels and the hair-growth cycle change.
- Stress-Related Hair Loss (Telogen Effluvium): Diffuse shedding that can follow significant stress, illness, surgery, medication changes or nutritional deficiencies.
- Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA): A form of scarring hair loss that generally begins around the center of the scalp and requires an appropriate medical diagnosis before hair restoration is considered.
Some conditions respond well to non-surgical treatment, while others require the underlying cause to be controlled before hair transplantation is appropriate. Dr. Zacco will identify the type of hair loss and recommend the right next step.
Benefits of Medical Hair Restoration Treatment
Medical hair restoration provides surgical, non-surgical and combined options based on the stage and cause of your hair loss. The benefits of a personalized hair restoration plan include:
- Natural-appearing results: Careful planning creates a hairline and distribution pattern that complements your existing hair and facial proportions.
- Long-term transplanted hair growth: Follicles taken from suitable donor areas are generally resistant to the pattern of hair loss affecting the recipient area.
- Improved hair density: Surgical and non-surgical treatments address thinning, restore coverage, and create a fuller appearance.
- Preservation of the donor area: Long-term planning protects the available donor supply if further hair loss or future treatment is anticipated.
- Personalized treatment options: Recommendations are based on your hair loss pattern, medical history, donor supply, and individual goals.
- Comfort-focused care: Our Ouchless Injection Technique and nitrous oxide minimize discomfort and support a more comfortable treatment experience.

Frequently
Asked Questions
How do I know which hair restoration treatment is right for me?
Dr. Arthur Zacco will determine the right treatment by assessing the cause and stage of your hair loss, the condition of your existing follicles, your donor supply and your goals. During your free consultation at our Raleigh hair restoration clinic, he will explain your options and create a personalized plan for restoring and protecting your hair.
Can every type of hair loss be treated with hair restoration?
No single treatment works for every form of hair loss. Some types of temporary shedding improve once the underlying trigger is addressed, while active inflammatory or scarring conditions require medical management before hair transplantation is appropriate. An accurate diagnosis determines the right next step.
Do I need a hair transplant, or could a non-surgical treatment help?
A hair transplant is not automatically the first recommendation. Non-surgical options such as Growth Factor Therapy and exosome therapy can strengthen and support viable follicles, while hair transplantation restores coverage where follicles have been permanently lost. Dr. Zacco will determine which approach best matches your stage of hair loss.
How much does hair restoration cost in Raleigh, NC?
The cost of hair restoration in Raleigh depends on the treatment selected and the extent of your hair loss. Hair transplant pricing is determined by the chosen technique, the number of grafts required, and the area being restored, while non-surgical costs depend on the type and number of sessions included in your plan. We provide clear pricing after your consultation, and financing options are available for qualifying patients.
How long does it take to see hair restoration results?
New transplanted hair begins to appear at approximately three to four months, around 50% of the expected growth is visible by six months, and the full result develops over approximately 12 months. Timelines for non-surgical treatments depend on the treatment selected, the stage of hair loss, and the individual response.
Is hair restoration painful?
We use local anesthesia, our Ouchless Injection Technique, and nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, to minimize discomfort during appropriate procedures. Some scalp sensitivity or mild discomfort can occur afterward, particularly following surgical hair restoration, but most patients return to their regular routine within a few days.
Can women benefit from hair restoration treatments?
Absolutely. Women can benefit from surgical and non-surgical hair restoration, with treatment selected according to the cause and pattern of hair loss. Female pattern hair loss, diffuse thinning, traction alopecia, and postpartum shedding require different approaches, which is why an accurate assessment is essential.
Can surgical and non-surgical hair restoration treatments be combined?
Yes. Growth Factor Therapy or exosome therapy can be incorporated into a hair transplant plan to support existing follicles and improve overall hair quality. Combining treatments allows Dr. Zacco to address both permanently lost follicles and areas where existing hair can still be strengthened.
What happens during a hair restoration consultation in Raleigh?
Dr. Zacco will discuss your concerns, medical history, previous treatments, and how your hair loss has developed. He will then examine the affected areas and your donor supply before recommending the right treatment, explaining the expected timeline, and providing clear pricing.
Do I need to live in Raleigh to visit AZ Hair Restoration?
No. Although our clinic is located on Creedmoor Road in Raleigh, we welcome patients from across Wake County, surrounding communities, and farther afield. Your treatment plan will explain how often you need to visit the clinic for treatment and follow-up care.
