Is the Hair Transplant Painful??

No Absolutely not -Nuleaf Hair Transplants, Pune!!

A common misconception about the hair transplant is that it is extremely painful. This arises from the fact that when FUT or strip method was done (before its perfection) a lot a people suffered from pain due to stitches. Some surgeons in the past put surgical skin staplers instead of stitches (to reduce the time of the surgery), this caused horrible discomfort to the patients. 

However, these are the problems of the past. There is no pain that is intolerable/uncomfortable in hair transplantation any more. The following are some of the techniques developed for the reduction of pain during the anesthesia (remember only anesthesia would be painful, once it sets in, there will be absolutely no pain. The methods utilized below are to reduce even the pain of anesthesia to zero level!)

1. Icing or application of ice:

Ice application over a specific part of the skin will numb it. Its not something new, however few people used it before. When we give anaesthesia, we apply ice for a few seconds, the area becomes numb, then we inject the anaesthesia and the person undergoing the transplant feel nothing. This is because of numbing of the skin!

2. Vibrating device:

If vibrations are applied over the skin, with the help of special device, the skin diverts the pain sensations going to the brain, confuses it to think there is no pain. It is basically a method of diverting the pain sensations. But it works fantastically.

3. Simple tapping of the area of injection:

Simple tapping with fingers on the area to be injected with anaesthesia will also divert the pain stimulus but not to an extent a vibrating device does it. 

What we do at Nuleaf Hair Transplants :

We combine the vibrations and ice to produce the most effective method of pain reduction. Hardly anyone feels pain with our technique. We have a specially designed device which chills down up to -4 degree centigrade  and also vibrates to produce effective anaesthesia.
