Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant
Sapphire FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is an improved version of the classic FUE hair transplantation method. In this method, the tips used in the channel opening phase are made of a mineral called sapphire, as the name suggests. Thanks to the sapphire tips, smaller, more precise and smooth channels can be opened in the transplanted area.
Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant Stages:
1. Collecting Hair Follicles from the Donor Area: As in classical FUE, hair follicles are collected one by one from the nape area with the help of a micromotor.
2. Opening Channels with Sapphire Tips: The most obvious difference of Sapphire FUE is at this stage. While channels are opened using steel tips in classic FUE, sapphire tips are used in Sapphire FUE. Sapphire tips are sharper and more durable, which allows smaller and smoother channels to be opened.
3. Hair Root Transplantation: 3. The collected hair roots are placed one by one into the opened channels. Thanks to the small channels opened with sapphire tips, the roots can be planted more densely and at a more natural angle.
Advantages of Sapphire FUE:
Less Tissue Damage: Since the incisions made with sapphire tips are smaller, there is less tissue damage. This contributes to a faster and more comfortable healing process.
More Dense Planting Possibility: Thanks to the channels opened by the sapphire tips being small and precise, roots can be planted more frequently. This is a great advantage, especially for those who want a denser hair appearance.
More Natural Results: Thanks to the small and smooth channels, hair follicles can be placed at a more natural angle. This makes the result look more natural.
Fast Recovery: Thanks to less trauma and minimal incisions, the healing process is faster and more comfortable.
Differences Between Sapphire FUE and Classic FUE:
Channel Opening Method: While metal (usually steel) tips are used in classical FUE, sapphire tips are used in Sapphire FUE.
Healing Process: Sapphire tips cause less trauma, so healing time is generally quicker.
Planting Density: Since smaller channels can be opened thanks to the sapphire tips, it is possible to plant the roots more densely.
Advantages of Sapphire FUE:

Cost: Sapphire FUE may be more expensive than the classical FUE method because special sapphire tips are used.
Sapphire FUE is preferred as an advanced hair transplantation method for those who want more natural, frequent and fast-healing results.
