Will an FUE Hair Transplant Hurt?
Pain is subjective and everyone has different pain thresholds. We have had various feedback from patients so to break it down:
1) The only part that is potentially painful is the injection of local anaesthetic. We use REALLY small needles (30G to be precise) to administer these injections so the feedback has been that some have experienced some slight pain whilst others have said it's more of a slight discomfort. As soon as the injections are done, the rest of the procedure is pain free. In fact, some patients actually fall asleep during the extraction phase as they are lay down listening to music.
