Sedation
At Ideal of MeD, we use local anesthesia for a pain-free hair transplant and offer personalized sedation options for extra comfort.
Whether you experience anxiety or prefer extra relaxation, our tailored sedation plans, including oral or IV sedation, ensure a stress-free experience while keeping safety without unnecessary risks, setting us apart from clinics that rely solely on local anesthesia.
A hair transplant is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require general anesthesia. Instead, local anesthesia is used to numb the scalp, ensuring a pain-free experience. Sedation is an optional addition for patients who experience anxiety or discomfort during medical procedures.
At Ideal of MeD, we offer sedation options for those who need extra relaxation during their hair transplant. Whether you’re nervous about needles or prefer to stay as comfortable as possible, our approach ensures safety without unnecessary risks. However, most patients do not require sedation, as local anesthesia is sufficient to keep the procedure pain-free.

What We Offer
1. Local Anesthesia (Standard for All Patients)
- Applied directly to the scalp to block pain.
- Ensures complete numbness in the transplant area.
- Mandatory for all procedures.
2. Oral Sedation (Optional, for Anxiety Management)
- A prescribed sedative taken before the procedure.
- Helps reduce nervousness while keeping you fully awake.
- Recommended for patients with mild to moderate anxiety.
3. Intravenous (IV) Sedation (Optional, for Maximum Comfort)
- Administered and monitored by medical professionals.
- Induces a deeper state of relaxation while keeping you responsive.
- Ideal for patients with high anxiety or sensitivity, like those suffering from trypophobia for instance.
What most clinics don’t tell you about sedation
- General Anesthesia Is Unnecessary: Some people assume a hair transplant requires full general anesthesia, but this is not the case. General anesthesia comes with unnecessary risks and is never required for a hair transplant. Instead, we use localized and mild sedation techniques to ensure a smooth experience without the side effects of deep sedation.
- Not All Sedation Methods Are the Same: Some clinics provide only local anesthesia, which numbs the scalp but does not alleviate anxiety or discomfort from prolonged sitting. At Ideal of MeD, we offer sedation options to ensure that patients remain relaxed throughout the procedure.
Included in Our Packages
Premium and Executive Packages: Sedation is included for added comfort.
Standard and Standard+ Packages: Sedation is available as an add-on for those who need it.
