IS HAIR TRANSPLANTATION PAINFUL ?
In the past, when talking about hair transplants, hair transplants were said to be a painful procedure. Many patients were worried and afraid, so they didn’t dare decide to have a hair transplant. Many patients always ask the doctor about it. Is hair transplantation painful /hurt? The answer is that the pain of a hair transplant depends on two procedures. ;
Pain from the anesthetic injection process
by hair transplant surgery. It is considered a procedure that does not require anesthesia. You need to inject only local anesthesia to numb the scalp. The anesthetic injection process will cause the patient to feel pain. But it is a level of pain that can be tolerated.
Pain after the anesthetic wears off.
The pain after the procedure is completed depends on the technique and methods of hair transplantation at each clinic. Extraction the hair roots from the back scalp is divided into two methods as follows:
- FUT method
FUT, an abbreviation Follicular unit transplantation. It is a method of growing hair by surgically removing long pieces of the back of the scalp. Also known as Strip,
- FUE method
FUE, an abbreviation for Follicular Unit Extraction, is a method of harvesting the hair follicle at a time from the back and side of the scalp(Donor area).
The FUE method generally has less pain after the procedure than FUT surgery because FUE does not involve surgery but is only a superficial piercing. At the same time, FUT requires cutting the scalp to a deeper skin level.
