Sapphire FUE technique is a technique where the incisions are made with special Sapphire blades. In this technique, Sapphire blades are utilised which are finer and smoother. Therefore the incisions are smaller and the healing process is quicker with a higher success rate. As a result of smaller incisions, it is possible to perform a higher density hair transplant. It is a permanent technique and eliminates the alopecia if sufficient amount of grafts are implanted.

 

Sapphire FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)

In Sapphire FUE hair transplant, all the grafts are harvested one by one and implanted into the recipient area. In this technique, the grafts can be harvested with either manual punch or a micromotor.

Once the grafts are extracted from the donor area, they are kept in a special solution that keeps the grafts alive outside of the body for up to 6-8 hours.

 

Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant Procedure

The most important phase of hair transplant is the opening of canals because the incisions are made with a certain angle to give the hair a natural direction. In Sapphire FUE technique, the incisions are made in a V shape. These incisions are smaller and thinner compared to the metal blades, therefore it accelerates the healing phase, and minimises the physical trauma done in skin.

 

How is Sapphire FUE hair transplant procedure performed?

In a Sapphire FUE hair transplant, the condition and hair status of the patient is examined in the first place. If the patient is a good candidate, Dermatologist Dr. Oyku Celen designs the hairline and specifies the recipient area.

Local anaesthetics is applied into the donor area. If requested, needle-free technique can be used as well. Once the anaesthesia is applied, medical team starts to harvest the healthy hair grafts from the donor area.

The amount of grafts that is already determined is harvested from the donor area. Depending on the preference, this can be performed with manual punches or micromotors. If the patient does not have sufficient amount of grafts in the back of his/her head, other options of donors can be used such as chest or beard.

The next step is to make incisions in which the harvested grafts are placed. Incisions made with Sapphire blades are much smoother and smaller. This provides less bleeding. Thanks to its antibacterial characteristics, it also decreases the possibility of infection and allergy. As the incisions are narrow, they close and hold the graft quicker than traditional incisions made with metal slits.

 

Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant Comparison

Sapphire FUE hair transplantation technique is one of the most comfortable methods today. Thanks to the sapphire-tipped blades, the healing process is fast. With Sapphire FUE hair transplantation technique, maximum number of grafts can reach 7000.

Differences Between Classical FUE and Sapphire FUE Technique

The main difference between traditional FUE and Sapphire FUE is the canals (incisions).In traditional FUE, metal slits are used to open canals, whereas in Sapphire FUE, special Sapphire Blades are used.

In both techniques the harvesting can be performed with manual or micromotor. DR. CELEN recommends you the most adequate technique after your consultation.

 

What are the advantages and disadvantages of Sapphire FUE hair transplant?

  • As Sapphire Blades are antibacterial, it is more beneficial especially for allergic patients.
  • As the incisions are shallower, less fluid is injected into the scalp. This would provide less swelling after the procedure.
  • The incisions are made in the shape of V. This provides a better ability to give direction to the hair and more natural results.
  • It is easier to make incisions in between long hair as the blades are very narrow and fine.
  • As the incisions are narrow and smooth, the grafts that are placed into cannot be dislodged easily. This increases the survival rate of the grafts immensely.
  • Tissue healing takes around 8 to 10 days which means it is much better than a traditional FUE.
  • Since smaller channels can be opened, it helps more frequent hair transplantation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sapphire FUE hair transplant is a hair transplantation method performed with the classical FUE technique. Unlike the classical FUE method, hair canals are opened with sapphire stone blades. Sapphire is a precious stone with antibacterial properties. This cause does not pose an allergy risk. In addition, since the sapphire stone creates much smaller incisions, the healing process is faster.

Traditional steel blades used in FUE method become dull over time and their efficiency decreases. For this reason, tissue damage may occur during the opening of canals. Sapphire blades are much sharper and smoother. Therefore, it is unlikely to damage the scalp tissue.

Although DHI hair transplantation technique is a fast and practical application, it is not considered suitable for wide recipient areas. It is generally preferred in diffuse hair loss where overall density needs to be increased. However, Sapphire FUE method is a more suitable technique than DHI technique for dense hair transplantation. Sapphire FUE hair transplantation allows us to achieve more successful and natural results in wide recipient areas.

FUE hair transplantation is 90% more successful than the traditional FUT method. Sapphire FUE method, on the other hand, is more advantageous than traditional FUE technique and has a higher success rate. Sapphire material is antibacterial. In this way, the risk of infection is quite low. Also, the recovery period is shorter.

During Sapphire FUE hair transplant operation, patients usually do not feel any pain or aching. After a Sapphire FUE, the level of aching is lower than a traditional FUE as a result of smaller and smoother incisions.

In Sapphire FUE hair transplantation, graft removal is done with a surgical punch. These extractions leave very small scars that get unnoticeable after some time. For this reason, you are free to cut even your donor area as short as you wish.

The first wash takes place 1 or 2 days after the Sapphire FUE hair transplant operation. Shock loss may start to occur in 4th-8th weeks. Then the hair starts to grow permanently from 6 months and the final results of hair transplantation are seen within 10-12 months.

Sapphire FUE method is one of the methods with the highest graft survival rate. Since the canals opened with sapphire blades are smaller, the hair follicles planted in the incisions are held more firmly. Therefore, the survival rate of the grafts is naturally high. Sapphire FUE hair transplantation, which shows an average survival rate of 90-95%, can be applied with a graft survival rate of 90-99% under the supervision of specialist hair transplant doctors. For this reason, it is recommended to consult doctors who are experts in the field for hair transplant operation.

In Sapphire FUE hair transplantation, both the hairline and the direction of hair growth are taken into account. Sapphire blades are more effective in giving the direction of hair growth compared to the classical FUE method. Therefore, Sapphire FUE hair transplantation helps you to have a more natural hair appearance.
