Is an FUE hair transplant painful?

Chances are when youve started to look into an FUE hair transplant, you have stumbled across countless pictures which are of patients straight after surgery. These images display a sore-looking hairline which is covered with red dots. .

Whilst these pictures may put you off considering hair restoration surgery as the images look raw and painful- you shouldn’t let it get in the way of you achieving the hair you’ve always dreamed of! All of us tolerate pain differently, so it is hard to say how painful an FUE transplant can really be, however we have put together some information which will give you more of an idea on what to expect when you undergo your hair transplant procedure.

An FUE hair transplant involves individual hair follicles being extracted from the donor area and then the hair follicles being transplanted to the areas that are balding.  This is a delicate procedure along with being rather labour-intensive, and can therefore look a little raw afterwards.

However, the actual FUE surgery shouldn’t hurt at all this is due to majority of surgeons using a local anaesthetic to numb the scalp. It may be slightly uncomfortable at first, but once the area is totally numb, you shouldn’t feel any pain. However this can vary for individuals but your surgeon will do what they can to make your hair surgery as comfortable and painless as possible.

The pain after a hair transplant varies dependent on the person. Some people could feel soreness for a day or two after the procedure, others might feel some discomfort for a week or two. Generally, the more grafts you have, the longer it takes to heal, so you may experience some discomfort for longer.

In the majority of cases any redness should last for a maximum of two weeks after you have had your hair transplant procedure. However, if you do experience redness for a longer period, or if you feel as if your scalp isn’t healing as well as it should be, it is important to get in touch with your surgeon or the company you booked your hair transplant through as soon as possible.
