Is Hair Transplantation Painful?
FUE technique is done under local anesthetic so that you will not observe any pain during the procedure. Mild discomfort may occur as the local anesthetic is injected in to the scalp and after surgery also they feel some minor discomfort. But it is usually described as minimal.
Will I feel pain during the procedure?
You will be given a local anaesthesia in both the donor and the recipient area to numb the area so that you will not experience any pain and it will ensure that you are completely comfortable during the entire procedure.
Will I feel pain after going home and next days?
Some soreness, tightness and possibly some numbness are normal and to be expected. In the next few days, some scabbing in the recipient sites may be present, as well as moderate redness. Swelling may also appear on the forehead, but this is typically rare. However, soreness and numbness in the donor area should begin to disappear in the days following the procedure. While some patients report a sensation similar to that of mild sunburn in the recipient areas following the procedure, there is generally little or no discomfort in the recipient area after the first few days following the procedure.
