I want to have a Hair Transplant but I’m afraid of needles and stitches, what should I do?

A hair transplant is a medical, surgical procedure, and it is necessary to use the tools we use in every operation. What I can guarantee is that you will not feel any pain or discomfort. You won’t actually see any needles or stitches. Especially in the strip technique, stitches are required—the method we use is called trichophytic closure, which involves a very fine suture that we remove after about one week to ten days. With the FUE hair transplant, there are no stitches at all.

Anxiety and fear of needles and stitches are among the most common concerns of people interested in hair transplants. However, it is worth noting that most patients, who arrive very anxious about the procedure, often end up falling asleep on the surgical bed during the transplant because of the calmness and trust they feel.
