Painfree Hairtransplantation

Before the hair transplant  is performed, a non-painful local sedation is given directly on the scalp.

Sedation performed with the classic needle that punctures the skin was an unpleasant thought. Thankfully this has changed, at Uni Hair Clinic an alternative solution offers our patients sedation with a needle-free syringe. A small compressed air gun activated on the skin, vaporizes the anesthetic through the epidermis without causing any pain to the patient.

THE ADVANTAGES OF THIS TECHNIQUE ARE

√ NO PAIN, the patient will only feel a slight pressure in the area where it is applied.

√ MUCH REDUCED SEDATION TIME: With this approach we can reduce the amount of medication and therefore the effects are not as long-lasting as the classic needle anesthesia.

√ NO FEAR. Some patients have a fear of needles this method totally solves that problem.

√ SPEED: The process is much faster and more efficient than the classic needle injection.

√ EU STANDARDS: This system is safe, has been tested and proven by the European Union of Health in accordance with the EU Directive 2010/32/EU, transposed by Order ESS/1451/2013, of 29 July.

Thanks to this innovation we can offer a comfortable, safe and painless hair grafting service.

Pain-Free Hair Transplant, Needle-Free Hair Transplant, Hair Transplant With Sedation

Individuals considering a hair transplant generally spend a lot of time researching and watching plenty of videos on hair transplantation prior to their procedure. Even though they may be able to visualize and understand the concepts of hair transplantation however, what it really feels like to undergo the operation can only be known by experience. In this article uni hair clinic doctors  will try to provide an answer to one of the most common questions when planning to undergoing a hair transplant; 

“Is the procedure painful?” In order to have a clear understanding of what a pain-free hair transplant (painless hair transplant, needle-free hair transplant) is, the first thing that should be known is the areas that will be exposed to pain. This, in turn, requires an  understanding on the basic principles of a hair transplant procedure.

Pain-Free Hair Transplant

What is meant by a pain-free hair transplant procedure?  Local anesthetic injection pain experienced by the patient during the process of extracting follicular unit grafts as well as the transplantation process, will be completely eliminated, transforming hair transplant operations into a painless procedure.

Local anesthetic administrated by needle in hair transplantation. During the process of donor harvesting and recipient site creation, local anesthesia is required. This local anesthesia in its simplest form is administered via needle injection. The pain felt in local anesthesia injection is similar to the pain experienced in dental procedures. The needles used in this particular application of local anesthetics are very fine and cause minor skin irritation. The needle tip is inserted parallel to the skin surface and administers local anaesthetic into the nerve tissue and is then slowly removed. As a result, using only one needle, local anesthetic is distributed to the appropriate area.

A new, advanced injection is also available. Instead of using a needle, the anesthetic solution is delivered under high pressure to the appropriate site

There are two types of jet-injectors used in needle-free local anesthetics:

Needleless injector with plastic body: As the pressure applied will be less retained on the skin surface, it can take up to 1-2 minutes for the anesthetic to take effect.

Needleless injector with steel body: As a greater pressure can be applied, the correct amount of local anaesthetic can be delivered through the skin in one injection.

Local anaesthesia applied using the steel body, takes effect within seconds. Doctors at Uni Hair Clinic uses pressure injectors made of plastic and of steel. In this application, direct contact with the skin is at minumum levels and when the injector is fired under high pressure, this allows the anaesthetic to be delivered into the skin painlessly.

The Most Comfortable Anesthesia Experience: Needle-Free Anesthesia and Sedation

Today, the most advanced way to reduce pain is to give sedation before the local anesthetics administered with a needle-free injector made of steel. The sedation is administered intravenously a few minutes before the operation. 

Intravenous sedation is administered after taking into account the patient’s age, weight and body condition.

Sedation differs from general anesthesia. General anesthesia is used to put the patient into a deep sleep and makes the patient fully unconscious. The patient under sedation will be awake but will feel relaxed and at ease.

At Uni Hair  Clinic, we use a needle-free injection system to administer local anesthetics to our patients. Additionally, for patients who have a lower pain threshold, the procedure can be carried out with local anesthesia combined with sedation.

Other factors that make a hair transplant procedure pain free.

Using a micromotor that rotates at a low speed during the extraction process.

Using a micromotor featuring small cylindrical needles (punches) that are made of high-quality surgical steel grade.

Renewal of the cylindrical needles that are used during the extraction process before the punch becomes blunt due to excessive usage.

Utilization of special sapphire blades instead of steel blades during the process of creating incisions within the recipient site.

Patients have achieved natural, successful and satifactory results with ‘Hair Transplantation’ performed at Uni Hair Clinic.
