One of the most common questions people have before undergoing a hair transplant is whether the procedure is painful. The good news is that modern hair transplant techniques like Sharp Implanter method are minimally invasive and cause little to no pain during the procedure.

What to Expect During the Procedure?

Before starting the transplant, the surgeon administers local anesthesia to numb the scalp. This ensures that the patient does not feel any pain during the harvesting of hair follicles. Most patients report feeling only a slight pinch during the anesthesia injection, after which the procedure is completely painless. During implantation, at Zeeva, to ensure smooth & painless implantation, we use nerve block techniques.

Is There Pain After the Transplant?

After the procedure, some mild discomfort, tightness, or soreness may be experienced, especially in the donor and recipient areas. However, this is temporary and can be easily managed with prescribed pain medications and proper aftercare.

-Day 1- 3: Some swelling and mild discomfort may occur.

-Day 4-7: Any pain or sensitivity gradually subsides.

-After 10 days: Most Patients feel completely normal, and the healing process is well underway and proper had wash can be done.

How to minimize Discomfort?

-Take prescribed pain relief medications if needed.

-Follow the aftercare instructions carefully.

-Avoid scratching or touching the transplanted area.

-Use a saline spray to keep the scalp hydrated.
