Will I be awake during the transplant procedure?

Yes, hair transplants are typically performed under local anesthesia, meaning you’ll remain awake but relaxed throughout the procedure. You’ll feel comfortable and able to communicate with our team at all times. Unlike general anesthesia, which puts you fully to sleep, local anesthesia allows for faster recovery and reduced risk. You may feel gentle pressure but no pain once the area is numb. This approach works well for Afro hair transplants too, where precision is essential due to the curved follicle structure. Being awake ensures we can adjust your positioning for best angles during extraction and implantation. Overall, the experience is calm, controlled and designed for your comfort.
