Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant

A sapphire hair transplant is carried out in much the same way as an ordinary FUE transplant. The difference between the two comes down to the blade that’s used during the channel creation stage. While the classic FUE method uses steel blades for this process, the sapphire FUE technique, as the name suggests, is carried out using sapphire blades. Made from precious gemstones, sapphire blades are known for their sharpness, smoothness, and durability. These properties allow the surgeon to create what are known as micro-channels — essentially smaller, more accurate incisions in the recipient area.

Creation of channels is the most important stage of hair transplantation surgery. As mentioned, the nature of these created channels plays a role in determining the density, angle, and direction of the new hair growth following the procedure. Having the ability to create smaller and more precise channels using a sapphire blade can produce more natural-looking results than are possible to achieve with a conventional steel blade.

How will the procedure go?

First, with the help of micromotors, the required hair for transplantation is extracted from the individual’s donor area. Once the extraction process is completed, channels are opened at the desired angle, direction, and frequency using sapphire blades. This is the most critical phase in the whole process. Now, the surgeon starts the implantation, and the hair follicles taken from the donor area are lodged into microincisions created earlier. Now the sapphire hair transplantation process is completed.In the first 2-3 weeks, hair loss occurs, which is very typical, known as shock hair loss. Six months after the procedure, the hairs start to grow, and by the end of the first year, a great extent of hair is grown back. In 2 years, the patient will see the full effect.

What are the Advantages of Sapphire Hair Transplantation?

Though a relatively new procedure, the carefully crafted surgical blades give enormous benefits to the whole procedure as listed below:

The surface of sapphire blades is hard and smooth, resulting in perfect cuts. Due to the unique nature of the blades, there is minor tissue damage.
Since the micro incisions are smooth, recovery is rapid.
Since the ends of sapphire blades are V-shaped, our doctors can make more frequent incisions, allowing more frequent and more natural results from FUE hair transplantation.
To get the most natural look, the direction and angle of transplantation are essential. Sapphire blades offer better flexibility than conventional methods regarding the angle under which the incisions are made. This flexibility makes this method most popular in terms of aesthetic appearance.
