One of the questions people with a certain degree of hair loss ask most often during consultations is:

Is the surgery very painful?

Especially when you search for non-incisional hair transplant in Gangnam,

there are many stories about the recovery process, such as pain, swelling, and bruising,

so many people wonder how much they will actually feel it.

Many people worry not so much about the surgery itself, but about whether it will interfere with daily life afterward

and how long recovery will take.

Because the non-incisional method removes hair follicles one by one without making an incision in the scalp,

it is known to place relatively less burden on recovery compared with the incisional method.

Harvesting method

However, the experience can differ somewhat depending on the condition of the individual’s scalp, the number of follicles harvested, and their constitution.

Therefore, it is important to understand in advance how the actual recovery process tends to proceed and prepare accordingly.

How much pain is there? Actual level of discomfort

Discomfort during the procedure mostly occurs during the anesthesia stage.

Because local anesthesia is used, you may feel a slight stinging sensation when the anesthetic injection is given,

but after the anesthesia takes effect, it is uncommon to feel strong pain.

During the harvesting or implantation process, many people describe it as feeling only pressure or a slight stimulus.

After the surgery, the scalp may feel slightly sore or stiff.

However, in general, this is often at a level that can be sufficiently controlled with pain medication.

There are individual differences, but for most people, pain is not severe enough to greatly restrict daily life.

How long do swelling and bruising last?

The part people worry about most after a non-incisional hair transplant is swelling.

Because the transplanted area is close to the forehead,

swelling may move down to the forehead or around the eyes for a few days after surgery.

It usually appears after about 2 to 3 days, and for most people it naturally goes down after about a week.

Bruising varies depending on individual skin characteristics, but it is relatively less common than with the incisional method.

Small dot-like marks may remain at the harvesting site, but they gradually fade over time.

Important factors for improving graft survival rate

One of the things people considering surgery are most curious about is the graft survival rate.

This is because the outcome depends on how stably the transplanted follicles take root.

To improve the graft survival rate, the technical aspect of minimizing damage to the follicles during surgery is important.

The harvesting process, storage method, and the design of implantation angle and density all have an effect.

Another important factor is aftercare following surgery.

In the early stage, the transplanted follicles are in a very delicate state,

so minimizing scalp stimulation is important.

Small daily habits such as cleansing methods, sleeping position, and whether the scalp is compressed can affect the result.

When considering a hair transplant, rather than looking only at whether to have the procedure,

it is better to also check how the medical staff harvest and implant the follicles,

and whether a system is in place to reduce follicle damage.

These factors ultimately affect the stability and satisfaction of the result.
