Are ARTAS hair transplants painful?

ARTAS hair transplants are similar to other types of FUE (follicular unit extraction) hair transplant methods like NeoGraft with respect to pain. During the procedure, numbing medicine is used to make the harvest process painless after the numbing injections are complete. Most patients are comfortable enough to be able to listen to music, read a book, or fall asleep during the procedure. 
Post-operatively, discomfort is usually mild and is less painful than the strip harvest technique. Patients may require a little bit of pain medicine for a day or two post-operatively, but most report that post-operative pain was minimal.
All the best,

When patients
come in to our practice, they are given a local anesthesia in the donor and
recipient areas.  This is when most
patients experience a little discomfort. 
Once the anesthesia is given almost all patients feel no pain or
discomfort during the surgery. Typically, once the anesthesia begins to wear
off, patients may feel some mild discomfort experiencing numbness or
soreness.  They are prescribed a pain
medication that some chose to take to ease any discomfort.  For the most part, patients are very pleased
with how minimal the discomfort from the procedure is.

The ARTAS Robotic Hair Restoration is not painful. It is completed using local anesthesia. A patient may feel slight discomfort from the onset of delivering the local anesthesia, but the entire procedure is virtually painless.
