One of the most frequently asked questions by those who want to have hair transplantation is “Is pain felt during the operation?” To understand what pain-free hair transplantation means, you must first know the basic stages of the operation.
The Most Comfortable Hair Transplant Technique: DHI Technique
The DHI technique is the direct transplantation of hair follicles collected from the donor area without opening a channel with the choi pen. This technique is one of the most advanced techniques in hair transplantation. DHI hair transplantation is performed in 2 stages.
1. Stage: It is the stage where hair follicles are collected from the donor area. At this stage, hair follicles in the donor area are collected one by one with special tools.
2. Stage: It is the stage of transplanting the hair follicles. In other hair transplant techniques, channels must be opened in order to transplant the hair follicles before proceeding to this stage. In the DHI technique, there is no need to open a channel beforehand.
Interventions on the scalp in the DHI technique are micro-level interventions. Tissue damage is minimal in this technique and recovery is much faster than other techniques.
Anesthesia in Hair Transplantation
Local anesthesia is applied before hair transplantation. The anesthetic agent injected under the skin before the operation creates a numbness on the scalp. In this way, no pain is felt in the operations performed during the collection and transportation of the channels.
Sedation Method in Hair Transplantation
This method is the most comfortable method in hair transplantation. Here, the factor that increases comfort is that sedation can be applied in patient-specific doses. Sedation method is a reliable method that can be applied even to babies.
100% Painless Hair Transplant
What is meant by painless hair transplantation is that there is no pain during the operation (collection and transplantation of hair follicles). Thanks to the sedation method, even the pain of the needle is not felt during local anesthesia.
The Most Comfortable Hair Transplant: Sedation with Anesthesia
The most advanced painless hair transplantation method is sedation before using a steel needle-free injector. In this procedure, the patient is sedated before the operation. Sedation can also be done by administering medication to the patient through the vascular access. This medication is specially adjusted by the anesthesiologist according to the patient’s condition, age and weight.
Sedation application and general anesthesia are not the same. In general anesthesia, the patient also becomes a complete sleepiness. In sedation, consciousness is clear.
