Needle-Free Anesthesia
The most worrying point for patients during surgical operations is, will I experience pain during anesthesia?
Most of our patients who do research about hair transplantation ask us a lot of questions about feeling pain. During the hair transplantation process, certain areas are anesthetized regionally with local anesthesia. This procedure is performed with needle-free anesthesia. In this method, people do not feel pain thanks to needle-free anesthesia (dermojet). However, people with needle phobia feel anxiety during the local anesthesia phase. This anesthesia technique, developed to reduce this fear and anxiety, has seriously helped some patients. Sapphire and dhi hair transplantation operations take an average of 8 to 10 hours.
As Zeynep Metin Clinic, we use all the technologies developed to provide people with a high number of grafts and to ensure that you have a comfortable operation. During the operation, anesthesia is applied to two areas in total. The first step is the purchasing phase. The entire nape (donor) area is anesthetized. The second area is the transplantation area. The entire area to be transplanted is anesthetized before the channels are opened. This method, used in the USA and most European countries, aims to reduce patients’ fears and anxiety. This improved method is one of the most popular local anesthesia methods. In this way, it is ensured that physicians can work comfortably in the field.
How is Needle-Free Anesthesia (Dermojet) Applied?
Needle-free anesthesia used in local anesthesia in sapphire and dhi hair transplantation techniques is an advanced technology. Anesthesia drugs are prepared in specific amounts for each individual. The prepared anesthetic drug is placed into the device. It penetrates the tissue by spraying the area to be anesthetized through the high air pressure applied by the device. Then, the drug spreads into the tissue by diffusion. The nerves that transmit pain are blocked.
The most important point that patients who prefer needle-free anesthesia for hair transplantation should know is that some numbness is created with the device. In order to ensure complete numbness of the area and to be able to work comfortably in the area, minimal tumescent anesthesia will be applied with needles. At Zeynep Metin Clinic, we aim to meet all the technological and psychological needs of patients so that they can feel at maximum comfort. We follow the latest developments in the world in the field of hair transplantation. In this way, we offer you the most comfortable operation and process.
