Needle Free Anesthesia

Needle-Free Anesthesia in FUE Hair Transplantation

The primary concern of patients during surgical operations is the fear of feeling pain and soreness during the Anesthesia .

Most of our patients researching FUE hair transplantation ask questions about feeling pain and how many injections will be given. Hair transplant is performed with local Anaesthesia , which means that a particular area is numbed with medications given under the skin.

This method ensures that the patient feels less pain during the hair transplant. However, patients who have a needle phobia or are worried about the pain will still feel discomfort at this stage. The most worrying part of the operation is local Anesthesia .

In recent years, local Anesthesia  has been applied with various methods to reduce this fear and anxiety, some of these methods are offered to patients with the promise of no pain and however it’s not entirely painless but reduces the pain by about 60 to 70 %.

Hair transplant procedure would take approximately 6-8 hours, local Anaesthesia  takes about 15 minutes, and patients do not feel any pain after Anaesthesia .

Local Anaesthesia  is applied to the patient twice for FUE hair transplantation. The first is applied to the donor area before the intake phase and the second to the transplant area before the channels are opened.

It minimizes the patients’ anxiety and facilitates the physicians’ working process during FUE hair transplantation.

Needle-free Anesthesia  in hair transplantation is performed with advanced technology devices. Anesthetic medications are injected into the tissue by spraying them onto the skin through the high air pressure applied by the device placed on the required area.

Later, the medication spreads to the tissue through the diffusion logic, and the pain transmitted to nerves are blocked. The most important point that patients who prefer needle-free Anaesthesia  in FUE hair transplantation should know is that after some numbness is given through the device, the needles will still be used for tumescent Anaesthesia .

Needle-free Anaesthesia  Is Not a Pain-free Anaesthesia  

It should not be forgotten that the reason for feeling pain in local Anaesthesia  in FUE hair transplantation is the medicine itself rather than the technique applied. For this reason, even if needle-free Anaesthesia  reduces pain, it is not completely .

In scientific studies, patients who 

underwent Anaesthesia  with needles and non-needle Anaesthesia  were examined, and no difference was detected in the results between the two methods except the pain caused by the needles.

Needle-free Anaesthesia  in FUE hair transplantation is beneficial for patients with needle phobia.

Hair Transplant and Needle-free Anaesthesia

Unfortunately, in FUE hair transplantation, it is a fact that some pain will be felt while applying local Anaesthesia . The important point is to make a special application not in a standard way, but by considering the reactions and needs of the individual while application is made on the patient.

we consider the psychological state of the patients in all the treatments we administer by using the latest technological devices.

We carry out all operations in a safe way with the technological devices necessary for the patients to feel comfortable at the maximum level, and we follow the latest developments in this field in the world.

We aim to minimize the pain that patients will feel while achieving positive results in hair transplantation, and we make the process much faster and easier, with help of the needle-free Anaesthesia we apply during hair transplantation in our clinic.
