Is Hair Transplant Painful? What to Expect Before, During, and After
It’s a Common Question: Is Hair Transplant Painful?
If you’re considering a hair transplant, you may be asking yourself: “Is it painful?” The short answer: most patients experience little to no pain thanks to modern techniques and local anesthesia. At Concord Hair Restoration, your comfort is our top priority from consultation to recovery.
What to Expect During the Procedure
✔ Local Anesthesia is applied to numb both the donor and recipient areas.
✔ Patients remain awake and relaxed—some even watch TV or listen to music.
✔ Most report only mild pressure or tugging, but no sharp pain.
What About After the Transplant?
While discomfort levels vary, most patients experience:
✔ Mild soreness or tightness in the scalp for 1–3 days
✔ Redness and slight swelling, especially around the forehead or crown
✔ Over-the-counter pain relief is usually all that’s needed
Hair Loss Treatments We Offer
FUE & FUT Hair Transplants
✔ FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): Scar-free, precise, and ideal for most patients
✔ FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation): Best for high graft volume needs
