Is it possible for the local anesthesia used to numb the scalp to damage the skin and tissue around the injection site that could result in permanent hair loss as a result of severe ischemia-induced by the injections?
Answer: Local anesthesia 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.

Answer: Anesthetics 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
