How Hair Transplant Performed?
According to SKN cosmetics, the hair transplantation is performed under local anaesthesia and with two advanced techniques which are FUE – the extraction grafts method and the other one is FUT – strip method. FUE is more advanced than FUT and most people preferred it.
It is performed in the clinic and only board-certified and experienced surgeons can handle such delicate surgeries. The procedure will start as the surgeon will inject the local anaesthesia to the donor side and extract the healthy hair graft and again local anaesthesia will inject it at the recipient area and then transplant the hair grafts there. This procedure will take approximately 6 to 8 hours and sometimes it depends on how many grafts need to implant. It will deliver effective and long-lasting results to the undergoing patient with a natural appearance.

But if you have to travel from one city to another city then it will be impossible for you to drive because the pain will irritate you and after 6 to 8 hours of surgery, a patient gets tired and needs proper rest after the transplantation.
