Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure, so anesthesia and sedation are used to ensure patient comfort and a pain-free process.

The hair transplant procedure is generally performed under local anesthesia, with the patient remaining awake. According to health sites like WebMD, this involves injecting a local anesthetic into the areas where hair follicles will be harvested and transplanted, completely blocking any pain sensation. This method allows the patient to stay conscious and communicate throughout the procedure.

However, in some cases, sedation may also be used to help the patient relax and reduce anxiety during the operation. Sedation typically involves administering medication intravenously to put the patient in a light, sleepy state, without them being fully unconscious. Major health centers like the Cleveland Clinic note that sedation increases patient comfort and reduces stress during lengthy procedures. It can be a good option for patients who have a fear of needles or find it difficult to stay still for a long time.

Sources affiliated with Harvard also describe hair transplantation as an outpatient procedure performed under regional anesthesia, allowing patients to return home the same day. This demonstrates that anesthesia and sedation are administered in a controlled and safe manner. As with other cosmetic surgery topics, the World Health Organization (WHO) does not provide specific guidelines or information on anesthesia and sedation in hair transplantation. The WHO’s focus is on general surgical and anesthesia safety standards, rather than specific procedures.
