No, a repair hair transplant is generally a painless procedure when performed under local anaesthesia. At Evolved Hair Restoration Clinic, we ensure that every patient is as comfortable as possible throughout the surgery. While the initial injection of local anesthetic may cause a brief stinging or burning sensation, this lasts only a few seconds. Once the area is fully numb, the extraction of grafts from the donor site and their placement in the recipient area is virtually painless. Some patients may feel slight pressure, pulling or tugging during the procedure, but this is entirely normal and does not constitute pain. Our team continuously monitors comfort levels and breaks can be taken if needed. This careful attention ensures that patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. The goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
