–Provides relief during local anesthesia: Although local anesthesia minimizes pain, it can still cause discomfort and pressure. Local anesthesia itself is the most uncomfortable part of hair transplantation for some patients. With sedation, there is almost no pain. This makes the overall experience more pleasant.

–Reduces tension and increases the level of comfort throughout the process: One of the benefits of sedation during hair transplantation is to reduce patient tension. The fear of needles and the idea of surgery can cause a lot of stress.

–Time saving: Because the patient is comfortable, the surgeon can work more efficiently without having to pause due to patient discomfort or anxiety. This can shorten the overall duration of the procedure, which is beneficial for both the patient and the hair transplant team.

–Suitable for patients with anxiety disorders or medical conditions: These patients often experience extreme anxiety or have difficulty relaxing even with local anesthesia. With sedation, a deeper level of relaxation is reached and helps them to get through the transplantation process without stress.

How long do you need to fast before sedation?

You should not eat solid food from 4 hours before the procedure. You should never eat products that are difficult to digest, such as milk and eggs. You can drink coffee, water or tea without milk up to 2 hours before the procedure.

Disadvantages of Sedation

People who consume drugs or a lot of alcohol in private life may have less effect of the drug, so the numbness rate may be low.
