Does the hair transplant hurt?
Tuesday, March 11th, 2008
People often say that hair transplant is sometimes painful. I have read on your web site that it is almost painless. Can you tell me more about the pain, during and after the surgery?
Local anaesthesia is administered for the surgery, and when it is done properly the surgery is practically painless. Here is how it works: it is important to go on very progressively and to deliver stings only on already anaesthetised zones. So the placement of the grafts in that zones is totally painless. It is remarkable to notice how the donour area, which receives between 2000 and 3000 incisions, is completely painless on the day after the surgery. On the day after, only the donour area, where the strip was removed, could be a little bit painful.
