Sapphire FUE Transplant

Sapphire FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a specialized technique in hair transplantation that uses sapphire blades or needles for the extraction of hair follicles from the donor area and the creation of recipient sites for transplantation. The use of sapphire blades is considered an advancement in FUE procedures, aiming to provide more precision, minimize trauma to the scalp, and potentially enhance the overall results of the hair transplant.

Key aspects of Sapphire FUE hair transplant include:

  1. Instrumentation:

    • The main feature of Sapphire FUE is the use of sapphire blades instead of steel or metal blades for the extraction of hair follicles. These blades are known for their hardness and sharpness, allowing for finer incisions.

  2. Precision:

    • The use of sapphire blades is believed to provide surgeons with greater control over the size, depth, and angle of incisions. This precision can contribute to more accurate graft placement and potentially result in a more natural-looking hairline.

  3. Incision Quality:

    • Sapphire blades create smaller and more precise incisions compared to traditional metal blades. This may lead to less trauma to the surrounding tissues and a quicker healing process.

  4. Customization:

    • Sapphire FUE allows for the customization of the size and shape of the incisions based on the characteristics of the patient's hair follicles. This individualized approach can enhance the overall aesthetic outcome.

  5. Reduced Tissue Trauma:

    • The sharpness of sapphire blades is thought to reduce tissue trauma during the extraction and implantation processes. Minimizing trauma can contribute to a faster recovery and potentially improve the survival rate of transplanted follicles.

  6. Natural-Looking Results:

    • The precise control over incisions and graft placement with sapphire blades aims to create a more natural and aesthetically pleasing result, particularly in terms of the hairline design.

  7. Local Anesthesia:

    • As with other FUE procedures, Sapphire FUE is typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort during the surgery.

  8. Recovery:

    • The recovery time for Sapphire FUE is similar to other FUE techniques. Patients may experience some redness and swelling in the treated areas, and these effects are usually temporary.

  9. Results:

    • The final results of Sapphire FUE hair transplant become noticeable as the transplanted hair follicles start to grow. Like other FUE methods, the growth is gradual, and full results may take several months.

The Advantages of Sapphire FUE

The sapphire percutaneous tool is advantageous in various ways. As it is a natural element, the sapphire tool creates less scarring while opening the canals to the recipient area. It also minimises the possibility of infections and complications. The scalp tissue bleeds less and recovers faster. Thanks to the nature of the sapphire, these blades are sharper compared to steel blades.

Although a hair transplant doesn't have a long recovery time, it's crucial to follow the surgeons' advice. Bruising, swelling and light dizziness are common side effects of this operation, which go away in a few days. Patients should rest their heads as much as possible. Looking down may cause the swelling to come down to the eyes.

Aftercare is an essential part of the recovery procedure. Patients need to take extra care of their operated area..
