During the Procedure

Hair transplant surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the area around the incision site. You may feel some pressure during the procedure, but you shouldn’t feel any pain. If you do start to feel pain, be sure to let your doctor know so they can give you more anesthesia.

After the Procedure

After your hair transplant surgery is complete, you may feel some soreness in the donor and recipient areas. This is normal and can be treated with over-the-counter pain medication. You should also avoid strenuous activity for at least two weeks after the procedure to give your incisions time to heal.
