With the increasing pressure of life and congenital factors, some people will experience hair loss in their lives.

1. There will be slight pain when anesthesia is given during hair transplantation

Before hair transplantation, local anesthetic will be injected as the scalp is sensitive and fragile. There will be some distending pain when the anesthetic is injected.

2. Pain during hair follicle extraction

Hair transplantation involves the extraction and implantation of hair follicles on the scalp. It does not harm the nerves in the cortex and does not cause obvious pain. Local anesthesia is generally used. If the anesthesia is not adequate during hair follicle extraction, moderate pain will be felt. If you are sensitive to pain, the pain will be slightly stronger, generally a moderate pain. The pain when extracting hair follicles during hair transplantation is related to the doctor's technique. Generally, a doctor who controls the technique properly will not make people feel particularly painful. In addition, scarless hair transplantation is not as painful as scar hair transplantation. If you are afraid of pain, it is recommended to choose scarless hair transplantation.

3. Depends on the recipient’s sensitivity to pain

Whether hair transplantation is painful depends on the patient's sensitivity to pain. Some people are afraid of pain and will feel stronger pain when anesthesia is injected and hair follicles are extracted. Some people are not afraid of pain normally, so they will feel less pain during hair transplantation.

What should I do if I feel a headache after hair transplantation?

The pain after hair transplant surgery is not obvious, but some people may still feel pain. What should I do if I experience a headache after hair transplant?

Experiencing a headache is a normal reaction to hair transplant surgery. Although scarless hair transplantation does not require surgery, it will cause some minor trauma to the scalp when extracting and transplanting hair follicles. Swelling and pain may occur at the surgical site, but it will recover quickly within a few days after the operation. If the doctor prescribes anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, the symptoms will disappear soon if you take them on time.

The wound needs to be sutured after scar hair transplantation. If the hair transplant doctor is not professional enough and touches the occipital nerve during the operation, migraine symptoms may occur after the operation. If you choose scarless hair transplant technology for surgery, no surgery is required, and the effect of postoperative scars and sequelae is better. Regular hospitals generally use scarless hair transplant technology.
