No worries, thanks to a new computer-controlled local anesthesia delivery system—a robotic syringe called Dentapen. This cutting-edge device, now in use at Dr. Paul’s, makes injections comfortable by using a microprocessor to control the extremely low speed and pressure of local anesthetic for a completely pain-free injection.

While these new technologies have made the transplant procedure itself comfortable, it also allows for a faster and easier recovery for patients. Because there are no staples or stitches with today’s advanced FUE transplant harvest techniques, there is no tension on the skin, and most patients can resume regular activities immediately and get back in the gym within just a few days following a hair transplant.
