Can the local anesthesia administered during hair transplant cause permanent hair loss at the injection site?

Local anesthesia should not cause any hair loss. Nerve blocks and ring blocks are performed routinely and do not cause hair loss.

Local anesthesia is used to make the hair transplant procedure more comfortable for the patient. It should not have any negative effects on hair growth or loss. Sometimes epinephrine is added to the other medications to help control bleeding, but if dosed properly it should not have a negative impact. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your hair loss specialist.

No, it is not possible for the local anesthesia to damage the skin that could result in permanent hair lossin normal circumstances. But ıf surgeon used a high concentration of adrenaline in tumescent solution, that may result of severe ischemia-induced necrosis of skin by the injections.

Hi,I am both a Pain Specialist and a Hair Restoration physician. Local anesthesia and nerve blocks do not contribute to hair loss at the injection site.

Yes, an anesthetic can cause permanent skin damage if there is too much epinephrine in it, if it is mixed wrong with too much sodium bicarbonate, or the wrong medication is used by mistake
