Q23. Does a hair transplant hurt?

A23. No. You will be given a local anaesthetic before the procedure and a mild sedative as well so this will prevent any pain.

Many patients say that they can feel a tugging or pulling during surgery but not any pain.

Micrografting can be painful but the surgeon will spray an anaesthetic onto the treated area during the procedure to ease this.

Painkillers can deal with any pain or discomfort after the surgery.
