Hair transplant candidates often worry about pain especially with the FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) method. The good news is that FUT hair transplant surgery is generally well-tolerated when performed by an experienced surgeon. Modern anesthesia, refined techniques, and proper aftercare significantly reduce discomfort during and after the procedure.
At Crown Hair Transplant, Dr. Mayank Singh focuses on patient comfort at every stage of treatment.
Is FUT Hair Transplant Surgery Painful During the Procedure?
FUT hair transplant surgery is performed under local anesthesia, which means patients remain awake but do not feel pain during the procedure. You may experience a mild pricking sensation during the anesthesia injection, but once the scalp becomes numb, the surgery itself is painless.
At Crown Hair Transplant, Dr. Mayank Singh uses advanced anesthesia techniques to ensure maximum comfort throughout the procedure. Most patients describe the sensation as slight pressure or pulling rather than pain. If you would like to understand how the FUT technique works in detail,
