Sapphire Technique

What is Sapphire Technique?

The most widely used hair transplant technique in the world is the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method. This technique consists of collecting the hair follicles, opening the channels and planting the roots called grafts in the opened channels. Sapphire tipped special pens have been developed as a method that minimizes tissue deformation during grooving, which is a stage of the FUE technique, and maximizes the frequency of grooving. This sowing model, called Sapphire FUE, is a FUE operation in which real sapphire tipped pens are used. A cutting tool called a slit is used when opening the canal during hair transplantation. However, since tissue destruction is high in sowing with these steel slits, healing times are relatively long. Thanks to the possibility of opening micro channels with sapphire tipped pens, it is possible to make an intensive and natural planting. Since the channels are opened at the micro level, there is a much faster healing process than other hair transplantation techniques. After sowing, crusting is minimal and this is a result that increases patient comfort.

How is Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant Applied?

In Sapphire FUE hair transplantation technique, hair follicles are collected using the FUE technique. However, the channels in the area to be transplanted are not opened with steel as in the FUE method, but with sapphire ore in the form of a pencil.

Sapphire tips allow the opening of smooth and dense micro-channels much smaller than steel in the area to be planted. Micro-opening of channels minimizes tissue deformation and reduces crusting. Thus, after the application, the scalp heals quickly and there is no visible scar. These micro channels opened with Sapphire FUE hair transplantation also allow the hair follicles to be planted frequently and in accordance with the natural direction of growth. Thanks to this technique, those who experience hair loss have natural hair that cannot be distinguished from their own hair.

Sapphire FUE hair transplantation can be applied together with other methods that increase comfort and patient satisfaction, such as sedated hair transplantation and unshaven hair transplantation.

Advantages of Sapphire FUE Hair Transplantation

Sapphire tips, which are the latest technology products used in Sapphire FUE hair transplantation, give more aesthetic and healthy results compared to steel tips. Since the channels opened with the sapphire pen are much smaller and smoother, less tissue damage is experienced in this method compared to other hair transplantation techniques. Thus, after the application, the tissues heal quickly without leaving any visible traces. The very fine sapphire tip pen allows the channels to be opened in accordance with the size and angle of the hair follicles. Thus, hair follicles can be placed inside the channels at a natural angle. This allows the transplanted hair to adhere to the scalp more strongly and to obtain a very natural appearance. The sapphire tip pen used in the Sapphire FUE method allows the opening of micro channels in the size of the hair follicle. This allows the channels to be opened more frequently and the roots to be planted closer to each other in the area to be transplanted. In the Sapphire FUE method, hair follicles are transplanted more frequently than other techniques, resulting in a more natural and fuller appearance.
