Treatment
Sedation, also known as deep sleep, is a gentle and highly effective method used during hair transplantation to ensure maximum comfort. The patient is placed in a deeply relaxed, sleep-like state while continuing to breathe independently and remaining under constant medical supervision. Anxiety, stress, and pain perception are significantly reduced. Sedation is administered exclusively by experienced anesthesiologists and is ideal for longer procedures or patients who experience nervousness or anxiety.
How does sedation work?
Short-acting medications are administered intravenously to induce a deep state of relaxation. Throughout the entire procedure, an anesthesiologist continuously monitors vital signs such as heart rate, oxygen saturation, and blood pressure. The patient remains pain-free, calm, and usually has little to no memory of the procedure afterward.

Who is sedation suitable for?
