Sedation
At IdealofMeD, 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 IdealofMeD, 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 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 IdealofMeD, we offer sedation options to ensure that patients remain relaxed throughout the procedure.
If you’re considering a hair transplant and want to explore sedation options, we’re here to help. Sedation is included in our Premium and Executive packages, or it can be added to Standard and Standard+ packages based on your preference.
