Painless hair transplantation is a procedure where any pain or discomfort from needles during local anesthesia in the hair extraction and transplantation stages is eliminated. This method is ideal for patients who have a fear of needles and wish to avoid pain during the procedure.
Before the procedure, the specialist determines the donor area where hair follicles will be taken and the area to be transplanted. Anesthesia is first administered using a needle-free, painless anesthesia device. After numbing, grafts are collected one by one with the help of a FUE micromotor. The patient does not feel any pain during the extraction of the roots.
The harvested hair follicles are carefully counted and placed in special solutions. It is crucial to remove the grafts in a healthy manner without causing damage. Grafts may contain single, double, triple, or more roots. Extracting grafts with multiple roots requires experience and expertise. The success of hair transplantation largely depends on the experience of the team and the specialist.
Sedation anesthesia is planned by the specialist doctor, considering the patient's results, age, and any allergic conditions. An intravenous line is established before the operation, and sedative medications are administered. Sedation in hair transplantation takes approximately 1-2 minutes. The patient experiences mild drowsiness while remaining conscious, allowing them not to feel the injections for local anesthesia in the head area. This semi-sleep state lasts for a few minutes, after which the patient wakes up as if they had taken a short nap.
