Sapphire Hair Transplant

What is Sapphire Hair Transplant?

Sapphire is a precious gemstone that is as strong as diamond. an extremely sharp blades can be manufactured from Sapphire.

The use of special blades made of Sapphire. Instead of the metal blades used in the Follicular Hair Extraction (FUE) method. Using smaller blades made of Sapphire, Opening micro-channels in the application area; This results in less damage to the skin and a much shorter healing process.

How and in what size the micro-channels opened in FUE hair transplantation operations are of great importance.

Micro Channels are very important to the success of the hair transplant surgery.

The healing process at the end of the operation is more comfortable and shorter for the patient, thanks to the applications made with sapphire blades. Because it is sufficient to drill smaller holes with sapphire blades, the patient will experience a faster healing process at the end of the operation.

As the grafts are placed in the planting area in a very regular way with sapphire blades, the probability of the hair growing in any way different from the desired is reduced.

Sapphire FUE versus Classic FUE

The main difference between Sapphire FUE and the classic FUE technique is the technique of opening the micro-channels.

Sapphire FUE hair transplants are performed using Sapphire blades. The blades are designed to minimize scab formation and speed up the recovery process through opening smaller micro channels within the recipient site for transplantation.

In Sapphire FUE Procedure. After the patient's local anesthesia done, individual hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area with the help of a micro motor and micro punches in sizes of 0,6 – 0,7 – 0,8 mm.

With Follicular Hair Extraction (FUE) method, the extracted hair follicles are transplanted into the micro-channels that have been created.

These micro-channels have a major influence on the density, angle, and direction of hair growth, which are the qualities of obtaining a natural appearance.

That's why opening the channels is considered to be the most important process for a successful operation.

So, The best way known to achieve micro channels can be performed via usage of the sapphire blades. The small incisions, which are at the same length of hair follicles, are created using sharp, smooth and durable sapphire blades varying in sizes of 1,0 -1,3 – 1,5 mm. As a result more channels can be opened, enabling the hair follicles to be transplanted closer to each other.
