What is Sapphire FUE Hair Transplantation?

Saffire FUE is an evolution of classic FUE with the help of more advanced tools, we ultimately achieve better final results. The only difference between a regular FUE hair transplant and a sapphire hair transplant is the material of the blades used to perform the hair transplant. Normally, the hair specialist uses stainless steel blades. In the sapphire method, these are replaced by the gemstone sapphire. This is a very hard material (almost comparable to diamond). This technique provides several advantages, especially in terms of precision, restoration and aesthetic result.

Characteristics of Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant:

1. Use of sapphire blades: In Sapphire FUE, the incision channels (holes into which the hair follicles are implanted) are opened using blades made of sapphire (a hard, wear-resistant gemstone). These blades are very sharp and precision-oriented, allowing for smaller and more precise incisions.
2. Benefits of Sapphire Knife More precision: Sapphire blades make smaller, sharper incisions, allowing for better and more efficient implantation of hair follicles.
3. Less damage to surrounding tissue: Because of the smaller incisions, there is less damage to the surrounding skin, resulting in faster healing and less swelling.
4. Natural hair growth direction: The accuracy of the sapphire blade makes it easier to determine the correct hair growth direction, providing a more natural look.
5. Less chance of scarring: Because the incisions are more precise and smaller, there is less chance of visible scarring than other methods.

How does the procedure for the Sapphire FUE hair transplant take place?

The procedure itself is largely the same hair FUE technique, but the use of sapphire blade makes the cutting and placement of the hair follicles more precise.
The process starts with local anesthesia at the donor area, then the grafts (hair follicles) are detached one by one with a “micro fue punch. In the next step, local anesthesia is again applied in the area where the hair follicles are placed . Then tiny incisions are made with sapphire knife. Sapphire blade ensures that sharper incisions are made and ensures that minimal tissue trauma is caused which makes the healing process faster. In the 3rd stage of hair transplantation, the hair transplantation process is started. The extracted hair follicles are planted one by one in the area where the treatment will be applied. Sapphire FUE hair transplantation is completed in this way.

Benefits of Sapphire FUE:

• Faster recovery: The smaller incisions reduce tissue damage, leading to a faster recovery process.
• Less swelling and pain: The precise incisions reduce the risk of swelling and pain, especially n the first few days after the procedure.
• Better hair growth density: The precision of the incision allows the hair follicles to be placed closer together, which can lead to a fuller appearance of hair growth.
• More natural result: The sapphire blade ensures that the channels in the scalp are perfectly placed in the correct direction and angle, resulting in a more natural appearance of the transplanted hairs.
