Hair transplants are typically minimally invasive and done under local anesthesia, so you’ll be awake, but totally numb in the treated areas.

Hair transplantation is done under local anesthesia
Full body anesthesia is not required as local anesthesia works well and patient will be comfortable and won't feel pain during the procedure.
It's like taking a flight(like full body anesthesia) to travel a distance of 30km which you can cover by road(like local anesthesia)...
