What is FUE Sapphire Hair Transplant and How is it Applied?

FUE Sapphire is an improved hair transplant technique of the FUE method and achieves the most natural result. It is a sub-version of the FUE technique. It is one of the most up-to-date technologies. The main feature that distinguishes it from the classical FUE method is that the tip of the medical blade used to open the channel during the operation is covered with sapphire, which is a very valuable metal, not steel.

The damage that occurs in the recipient area after the operation, the direction and frequency of hair growth are related to the channels opened. When we take this into consideration, the Sapphire FUE method has positive contributions to the operation and the healing process afterwards. In the Sapphire FUE method, a channel is opened from the donor area with 0.6 07 and 0.8 mm micro tips. Afterwards, the hair follicles collected with 1.0 -1.3-1.5 mm sapphire-coated tips are transplanted to the recipient area.

Benefits of Sapphire FUE

  • The use of sapphire tips in the Sapphire FUE method minimises the level of damage that may occur to the head while opening the channel. It causes less vibration with its antibacterial properties. This again minimises tissue damage and trauma.
  • Natural sapphire tips do not affect blood circulation.
  • The diameter of the cuts opened with sapphire tips is small. This has a positive effect on shortening the healing process.
  • The operation time of sapphire FUE hair transplantation is shorter than other treatments.
