Hair Transplantation with Sedation

A Pain-Free and Comfortable Experience

Hair transplantation is a frequently chosen medical aesthetic procedure for individuals experiencing hair loss. Traditional hair transplantation procedures can sometimes be uncomfortable for patients, thus hair transplantation techniques performed with sedation offer a more comfortable experience by providing pain relief and relaxation. This approach aims to relax patients using sedation and make the procedure more tolerable. Here’s what you need to know about the hair transplantation technique with sedation:

• Definition and Overview: Hair transplantation with sedation is a medical aesthetic approach aimed at offering a more pain-free and comfortable procedure for individuals suffering from hair loss. This technique involves the use of sedation, in addition to local anesthesia, to consciously relax patients. Sedation can help the patient experience a comfortable sleeping state or mild drowsiness.
• Method of Application: During hair transplantation with sedation, the patient is first relaxed with sedation. Under this sedated state, the patient relaxes consciously and does not feel pain or discomfort during the procedure. Local anesthesia is also applied, and the hair transplantation process begins. Hair follicles are harvested from the donor area and then carefully placed in the transplant area.
• Purpose and Benefits: Hair transplantation with sedation ensures that patients have a more comfortable and pain-free experience during the procedure. This technique helps patients more easily tolerate the hair transplantation process, which can last 6-10 hours. Additionally, the use of sedation can contribute to a faster and smoother completion of the procedure.
• Results and Duration of Effect: Sedation is administered at the beginning of the procedure and throughout the process. The patient fully recovers before being discharged from the hospital. A partial state of sleep may continue for up to 24 hours, but it does not cause any permanent side effects or problems.
• Ideal Candidates: Hair transplantation with sedation is suitable for individuals who want a more comfortable hair transplantation process. It can be a solution, particularly for patients sensitive or anxious about the hair transplantation procedure.
