Sapphire FUE hair transplantation (follicular unit extraction) involves performing the channel opening phase with tips made of sapphire, a highly valuable gemstone.
Sapphire FUE hair transplantation is a technique that uses sapphire-tipped blades, a special instrument used in the process of extracting hair follicles. Sapphire blades, thanks to their sharpness and precision, allow for finer and more precise hair channels. This can help achieve natural and aesthetic results.
Instead of steel slits, pens with tips made of real sapphire are used. Therefore, it provides several advantages compared to the technique using steel slits:
Shorter healing time
Less tissue damage occurs
It allows for a much denser hair transplant.
In the Sapphire hair transplantation technique, hair follicles are harvested using the FUE technique, but channels are opened in the recipient area not with steel as in the Slit method, but with a sapphire ore-shaped pen. Sapphire tips allow for the creation of much smaller, smoother, and denser micro-channels in the recipient area than with steel. Opening the channels at the micro level minimizes tissue deformation and reduces crusting. Thus, the scalp heals quickly after the procedure, and no visible scars remain. These micro-channels opened with Sapphire FUE hair transplantation also allow for the dense and natural direction of hair growth. Thanks to this technique, those experiencing hair loss can have hair that looks indistinguishable from their own natural hair.
– One of the most important differences of the DHI hair transplant method is that it allows for transplantation without shaving the hair.
– Since hair follicles are transplanted within 1-2 minutes after being extracted from the donor area, the hair follicles do not remain outside the body. This greatly reduces the possibility of damage to the hair follicles.
– It allows for easier transplantation between existing hairs in areas where hair loss has not completely occurred.
– It allows for denser hair transplantation, especially in smaller areas.
