What You Need To Know From Expert Surgeons About Having Professional Hair Transplant
Here’s what our top hair transplant surgeons want you to know about the hair transplantation procedure and experience. We have gathered together some of the most frequently asked questions about hair transplants, so you can make a better informed decision about having a hair transplant surgery.
Does Hair Transplant Hurt?
Most of our clients report zero to no pain during a hair transplant. During a hair transplant, the scalp is numbed with a local anaesthesia. Post-surgery, when the topical anaesthesia wears off, some people may experience mild discomfort (e.g., a stinging sensation). This sensation may last about 24 to 48 hours after a hair transplantation procedure.
When discomfort is reported by hair transplant clients, it is usually after the hair transplant, as the scalp adjusts to the hair follicle harvesting from the donor area and the implantation of hair follicles to the treatment area.
