title: Local Anesthesia Techniques in Hair Restoration Surgery.
abstract: Pain during hair restoration surgery and other dermatologic surgery procedures is one of patients' main fears. The authors briefly describe local anesthesia techniques they use in their surgical practice that make these procedures more pleasant for patients. The ability to provide a pain-free experience during hair restoration surgery will increase patients' satisfaction and allow patients to return for subsequent procedures.
