However, it is known that patients with needle problems stay away from hair transplantation procedures.

Hair transplantation is an operation that is usually performed using local anesthesia. Naturally, the following questions come to mind:
Is Painless Hair Transplant Possible? Is Hair Transplantation a Painful Process?
As a result, hair transplantation operations require a surgical intervention to collect and transplant hair. What is the impact of these interventions?
Before answering all these questions, it is necessary to talk about the stages of hair transplantation.
Hair Transplant Stages:
Hair transplantation mainly consists of four stages, these are:
-
Application of local anesthesia (The only and most important point of hair transplantation where you will feel pain)
-
collection of hair
-
Opening the channels (in the DHI method, this stage is combined with the next stage)
-
Transplantation of hair (Local anesthesia is applied again before)
Local Anesthesia in Hair Transplantation
This stage is the focus of the painless hair transplant process. It is necessary to collect the hair follicles, cut and separate the very thin skin around the hair with the help of a micro-motor. Anesthesia should be applied before this procedure.
Since there will be a loss of sensation in the area where anesthesia is applied, pain is not felt. Therefore, we can say that hair transplantation is a painless procedure.
The moment when the feeling of pain can be experienced is the moment of anesthesia. We can describe 'painless' hair transplantation as , since the local anesthesia application process is also painless. Although needle anesthesia continues to be used, there are also new methods applied to eliminate the pain caused by this technique.
#one
Needle Free / Local anesthesia with pressure
It has been developed to reduce the feeling of pain in needle anesthesia procedures. It is done with a device that can inject the anesthetic into the skin with pressure. This device is brought into contact with the skin and leaves the fluid anesthetic substance on the skin with the high pressure inside. Anesthesia is then administered with a needle.
In fact, this first applied anesthetic substance does not distribute homogeneously on the skin and may not affect subcutaneously. In the application of needle anesthesia to be performed afterwards, pain may be felt again.
#2
Local anesthesia with sedation
We can define sedation as one of the most advanced and important conveniences in the field of medical anesthesia, which is actually applied even in children. Sedation application describes the transfer of painkiller (analgesic active substance) to the body in an appropriate dose by opening a vascular access to the individual. Thus, no pain is felt during the procedure, as in needles or other medical interventions. In this application, the consciousness of the person remains open, but the sensitivity to pain decreases.
It is important to have a specialist anesthesiologist in sedation application. Because the dose of sedation to be applied is calculated by the doctor according to the physical structure and values of the individual.
#3
Hair Gathering
The hair is collected by separating it from the skin with cylindrical incisions with the help of a micro-motor. Here, the tip diameter of the micromotor is at least 0.6 mm, it is related to the thickness of the patient's hair and whether there are single or multiple grafts. Hair is collected with cylindrical needles called punch up to 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm and 1.00 mm.
#4
Opening Channels
The channels are usually opened with metal slits or later developed sapphire tips to place the hair follicles collected for hair transplantation. Sapphire tips are smoother and cause less damage to the skin. The grooving step is one of the most important processes that determine the quality of the operation. While opening the channels where the hair follicles will be transplanted, the angle and the direction in which the hair will be transplanted are very important and should be carefully determined. In this way, a natural-looking healthy planting can be achieved.
With the implanter used in the DHI method, hair follicles can be placed without the need for channel opening.
#5
Hair Transplantation
The hair is placed in the opened channels. Here it is important that the channels are opened in the right direction. If there are no correct canal directions, it is difficult for the transplanted roots to have a natural appearance. Another critical point in this step is which of the opened channels will be planted with single grafts and which with multiple grafts. The basic principle here is to plant single grafts in the front rows. Thanks to these sensitive processes, natural appearance and lush hair can be achieved more easily.
