Painless Hair Transplant
While discussing pain, we may consider pain experienced by the patient during the surgery and afterwards. Also, as pain may have psychological as well as physical basis, we will show how we address these aspects.
While pain is essential part of surgical procedures in general, hair transplant does not have to be a painful process at all. Our expertise and approach toward controlling this issue ensures that the patient is comfortable psychologically as well as physically.
To be specific, here is how we mange pain during our hair transplant procedures:
- First, we administer appropriate amounts of medication (sedative). The patient is offered a pill for relaxation. This takes the patient into a relaxed, ‘twilight zone’ state which not only helps alleviate the patient’s emotional discomfort and anxiety, but also minimizes possible pain from the subsequent injections. Whilst in this ‘twilight-zone’ state, the patient remains conscious throughout the procedure. He can follow oral commands and can respond. After some time, our patients can even be seen engaged in light chat.
- Next, we begin to apply local anesthesia. Local anesthesia is quite painlessly delivered. This is achieved applying tiny injections of a light anesthetic agent and the finest gauge needles available to make each shot as comfortable as possible.
- Our next goal is to maintain the necessary level of comfort during the surgery. As the surgery progresses, we use special techniques, such as Tumescent anesthesia to sustain the patient’s comfort for a prolonged duration of time. This makes the anesthesia last for several hours so that our patients stay relaxed during as well as after the procedure.
- Finally, we attend to the patient’s post-operative comfort. For this, we usually provide the latest, best oral pain relievers to be taken once a day.
There is very little, if any, discomfort in our hair restoration process as even anesthesia is now delivered through a specialized computer.
