Although the methods used have changed, hair transplantation has been performed for approximately 60 years. In these 60 years, the techniques and technology used have improved, the experience of doctors has increased, and thus the pain felt by patients has decreased day by day.
Since hair transplantation is performed under local anesthesia, almost no pain is felt during the procedure. However, a slight pain may be felt for about a day after the transplantation, especially when the effect of the local anesthesia wears off.
The pain you feel will be kept to a minimum with the painkillers given by our doctor. In addition, redness, pain and discomfort in the transplanted area may be felt for a few days after the procedure. We should state that most of our patients did not need painkillers during the post-transplantation process.
When the procedure begins, you may feel some pain while the local anesthesia injections are applied. The level of pain you will feel is very close to the pain of the injections used when you go to the dentist so that you do not feel pain.
You may feel a tension in your scalp during the procedure. This tension feeling is felt more in transplants performed with the FUT technique.
Since the FUE technique is used in our clinic, the feeling of tension does not bother our patients.
Since the pain threshold varies from patient to patient, some people describe this feeling of tension as “slight pain”, while many of our patients say they feel almost no discomfort.
The purpose of the hair transplantation procedure is to improve the patient’s aesthetic appearance. The satisfaction level with the procedure is quite high, and this causes many patients to ignore temporary side effects such as redness and pain.
In order for our patients who have the procedure at the DK Clinic Hair Transplantation Unit not to get bored and not to focus on the procedure, various magazines, books, music, tablets, etc. are available.
In addition, the chair where the procedure is performed has been specially designed for hair transplantation patients to feel comfortable during the procedure.
