Sapphire hair transplantation is an advanced and minimally invasive version of the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique, performed using special surgical pens with sharp tips made from sapphire gemstone. Hair transplantation operations, which provide a permanent solution to hair loss, have become widespread with the development of the FUE technique. The channels created by sharp sapphire blades are much smaller. The smooth surgical incision significantly shortens the healing process, reduces tissue deformation, and helps us achieve much more natural hair transplantation results.
Sapphire FUE
Frequently asked questions
What is Sapphire FUE?
Sapphire FUE is an advanced hair transplant technique that uses sapphire blades instead of traditional steel blades during the follicular unit extraction (FUE) procedure. The sapphire blades allow for more precise and smaller incisions, leading to better control over the angle, direction, and density of the transplanted hair follicles.
How does Sapphire FUE differ from traditional FUE?
The main difference between Sapphire FUE and traditional FUE lies in the type of blades used. While traditional FUE uses steel blades, Sapphire FUE employs sapphire blades, which are much harder and finer. The use of sapphire blades results in less trauma to the scalp, faster healing, and potentially improved hair growth outcomes.
What are the benefits of Sapphire FUE?
Sapphire FUE offers several benefits, including reduced healing time, less scarring, and minimal post-operative discomfort. The use of sapphire blades also allows for more precise and natural-looking results, making it a preferred choice for many patients seeking a hair transplant.
How long does it take to see the results of Sapphire FUE?
After a Sapphire FUE procedure, the transplanted hair will initially shed before entering a resting phase. New hair growth typically begins within a few months, and significant results can be seen within 9-12 months. Full results may continue to improve over time as the transplanted hair matures.
