Hair Transplant Under Sedation
Hair transplant procedures are typically performed under local anesthesia, rather than sedation. Local anesthesia numbs the area being treated, allowing the patient to remain awake and alert during the procedure while minimizing discomfort and pain.
Sedation, on the other hand, involves the use of medications to relax and calm a patient, and it can range from mild sedation to deep sedation or even general anesthesia. While sedation may be used in some medical procedures, it is not the standard practice for hair transplant surgery.
What is Hair Transplant Under Sedation?
Hair transplant under sedation refers to the use of sedative medications to relax and calm a patient during a hair transplant procedure while keeping them conscious and responsive. This approach allows patients to be in a state of reduced anxiety and stress, making the procedure more comfortable for them, but without rendering them completely unconscious as is the case with general anesthesia.
Benefits of Hair Transplant Under Sedation Procedure
PAIN-FREE
One of the biggest benefits of intravenous sedation during a hair transplant procedure is that it helps to reduce pain and discomfort. Patients who receive intravenous sedation will feel more comfortable and relaxed during the procedure, leading to a pain-free and painless experience.
Improved Patient Cooperation
Patients who receive intravenous sedation during a hair transplant procedure are more likely to cooperate with the doctor’s instructions, leading to a better outcome.
Reduced Anxiety and Fear
Hair transplant procedures can be anxiety-inducing and scary for some patients. Intravenous sedation can help to reduce anxiety and fear, making the procedure more tolerable for patients.
FASTER RECOVERY TIME
Intravenous sedation helps to reduce anxiety and discomfort, allowing patients to recover faster after the procedure. Patients may also be able to resume their normal activities more quickly than those who did not receive intravenous sedation.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Hair Transplant Under Sedation?
A good candidate for a hair transplant under sedation typically meets specific criteria that make them suitable for the procedure. The decision to use sedation is usually based on individual patient preferences and needs. Individuals who experience significant anxiety or fear related to medical procedures, especially surgeries, may benefit from sedation. Sedation can help reduce these emotions and make the procedure more manageable. Some people have a low pain tolerance and may find the local anesthesia and the minor discomfort associated with hair transplant procedures uncomfortable. Sedation can help alleviate this issue. If the hair transplant procedure is expected to be lengthy due to a large number of grafts or complexity, sedation can help patients endure the extended duration of the surgery.

How Hair Transplant Under Sedation is Performed
STEP 1
intravenous sedation
The patient is given light sedation through an intravenous line before the transplantation begins. This keeps the patient asleep, especially for 30 min.
STEP 2
Extraction
The surgeon first identifies a suitable donor area with healthy hair follicles that closely match the recipient area in terms of texture, color, and thickness.
STEP 3
Graft Implantation
The prepared hair follicles are then inserted into the recipient sites one by one, often with the use of forceps or specialized implantation tools.
STEP 4
HEALING AND HAIR GROWTH
After the procedure, patients are provided with instructions for caring for their newly transplanted hair, which may include hair care guidelines.
Hair Transplant Under Sedation: A Painless Solution
Sedated hair transplantation, in other words, painless hair transplantation, can be expressed as the application of hair transplantation-related procedures together with special anesthetic drugs made from the arm. Sedation is a method of anesthesia used in many medical procedures. Sedated hair transplantation is one of the most commonly used hair transplantation methods, as it ensures that the patient is worry-free and pain-free during the hair transplantation operation. Since the patient is given a combination of analgesic and sedative drugs intravenously, a much more comfortable and painless hair transplant is performed compared to the procedures performed under local anesthesia.

FAQ
Intravenous sedation is generally considered safe when administered by a qualified medical professional. However, there are some risks associated with sedation, such as allergic reactions or respiratory problems, which is why it is important to have a qualified medical professional administering the sedation.
In rare cases, it can happen that the effect of the anaesthesia wears off during the procedure. This is due to the fact that each person has a different metabolism.
If this happens, our specialists will give you another dose of the anaesthetic.
The effects of intravenous sedation can vary depending on the medication used and the dosage administered. However, most patients will start to feel more alert and awake within a few hours after the procedure.
