The Upgrade

What Is IV Sedation?

IV sedation — sometimes called "twilight sedation" — is a medically administered state of deep relaxation delivered intravenously. Unlike general anesthesia, you remain technically conscious but are completely unaware, deeply comfortable, and have little to no memory of the procedure afterward.

It is not sleep in the traditional sense — it is a carefully controlled, monitored state where your body remains cooperative and your mind is completely at ease. Most patients describe the experience simply as: they sat down, closed their eyes, and the procedure was over.

At Dr. Hair 90210, IV sedation is administered and monitored by a board certified anesthesiologist throughout the entire procedure. Your vitals, oxygen levels, and comfort are tracked continuously.

Your Experience, Step by Step
01
Pre-Procedure Screening A brief medical review ensures you are a safe candidate. This takes place during your consultation.
02
IV Line Placement A small IV is placed before the procedure begins. Within minutes, a deep calm sets in.
03
Continuous Monitoring Your vitals are tracked throughout. You are never unattended.
04
Recovery As sedation wears off, you are gently guided to recovery.
05
Arrange a Driver You will need someone to drive you home after the procedure.

Day of Procedure

What to Expect on the Day

Choosing IV sedation does not change your procedure — it changes how you experience it.

AM
Arrive with Your Driver
Plan to arrive with someone who will drive you home. Avoid eating for a minimum of 6 hours before the procedure.
01
Pre-Procedure Setup
Your IV line is placed and vitals are recorded. The anesthesiologist reviews your health history and confirms dosing — typically 15–20 minutes.
02
Sedation Begins
Within minutes, a profound calm sets in. Most patients describe a wave of warmth and relaxation before drifting into unawareness.
03
During the Procedure
You are continuously monitored throughout. The procedure is performed normally while you remain deeply relaxed.
04
Recovery & Departure
As sedation wears off, you are moved to recovery. Once stable, your driver takes you home.
PM
The Hard Part Is Done
Most sedation patients feel completely normal by the following morning.

Is It Right for You?

Who Benefits Most from IV Sedation

IV sedation is not for everyone — it is only recommended when clinically appropriate.

01
High Procedure Anxiety
If you have a history of anxiety around medical procedures or needles, IV sedation transforms the experience entirely.
02
Longer Procedures
Large FUE or FUT sessions can run 6–8 hours. Sedation makes long procedures feel like minutes, improving comfort and surgical conditions.
03
First-Time Surgery Patients
For patients who have never had any surgical procedure, sedation eliminates the unknown entirely.
04
Patients Who Value Optimal Conditions
A relaxed, still patient makes for better surgical conditions. Some choose sedation because they understand comfort can positively influence the result.
