Hair Transplant

FUE Sapphire hair transplant

Overview

Hair transplantation operation is developing over time. One such advanced technology is sapphire hair transplantation. Sapphire hair transplantation, which is performed with a medical instrument with a sapphire tip (pen), allows smaller micro-channels to be opened using the sapphire tip of the channel opening application. Therefore, the desquamation that occurs after the operation is minimal. Thus, the recovery time in hair transplantation with the sapphire FUE technique is short.

Am I a suitable candidate for this operation?

Sapphire hair transplantation operation is suitable in the following cases:

  • Sapphire hair transplantation is suitable as a hair restoration method if the hair loss is caused by conditions such as trauma, male pattern hair loss, or traction alopecia.
  • The hair density in the donor area is one of the most critical factors regarding Sapphire transplantation. If you have enough hair on your scalp, you will be considered a viable candidate for this operation.
  • It is suitable for relatively minor hair loss or severe hair loss.

Sapphire hair transplantation main techniques:

FUE Sapphire hair transplant technique:

this advanced technique is performed with special instruments produced from a precious stone, sapphire, based on FUE hair transplant procedures. It is an improved application of the FUE technique. These sapphire stone blades create incisions at the recipient site, and hair follicles are then implanted into these tiny holes. The V-shaped tip of sapphire blades shortens this process compared to steel FUE blades and doesn’t damage the scalp tissue. As a result, it has a more effortless procedure and an overall more natural appearance.

Sapphire Blades:

sapphire blades are made of single-crystal components, which are a hundred times harder than steel blades but not as strong as diamonds. As a result, Sapphire blades can withstand long hours of uncomplicated operation, as they have a high level of durability. The blades are exceptionally sharp and have a low friction rate that allows the surgeon to operate with minimal tissue trauma. As a result, scars are significantly reduced, and recovery time is reduced. In addition, as an ideal tool for microsurgical techniques, sapphire blades offer many advantages, such as:

  • Sapphire blades hold a cutting edge better than standard surgical instruments because they are more complex and sharper.
  • Sapphire blades allow incisions much more refined than standard surgical blades, so the level of cell damage is significantly reduced. Clean, precise incisions speed up the healing period and reduce the possibility of scarring.
  • Sapphire is a non-metallic gem, so it cannot lead to the reaction of metal ions. Sapphire blades do not affect the lymphatic system or the blood because they are inactive.
Stages of Sapphire hair transplantation
Perioperative

Before surgery, the patient undergoes a physical examination to evaluate their general health and the condition of their scalp and hair tissue. Through the consultatıon, the doctor ensures that there are no medical restrictions that prevent the operation. Also, the leading cause of hair loss is determined. During the consultation with the patient, the doctor tries to understand the patient’s expectations. At the end of the consultation, a plan is drawn up for the sapphire hair transplantation process.

Intraoperative
  • Local anesthesia is given to the scalp, and the necessary amount of hair follicles is extracted from the donor area. It means a step closer to the actual hair transplantation through the Sapphire technique.
  • After extracting a sufficient amount of hair follicles, preparation of the receiving area begins. The most important of these preparations is opening the micro-channels on the suitable spots for hair transplantation using sapphire blades.
  • Hair follicles are transplanted into the appropriate micro-channels using pointed sapphire blades.
Postoperative

After the operation, the patient may have a slight swelling on the scalp. Cold compresses and gentle massage are the simplest and most effective ways to reduce swelling. Also, sleeping with an elevated head for at least three days after the surgery will significantly speed up the healing process.

The success of the operation depends mainly on the monitoring procedures. The patient should be careful about hygiene habits, avoid extreme weather conditions, sunlight, chemicals like hair products, etc. Getting enough rest is also a critical factor for faster recovery.

Frequently
asked questions

The main difference between the sapphire technique and the FUE technique is the use of sapphire blades in the sapphire technique instead of the metal blades in the traditional FUE technique. In addition to being a precious material, it cuts with very high accuracy because it never loses its shape.

Sapphire hair transplantation provides permanent results. Although the transplanted hair will begin to fall out as an expected part of the procedure, within a few months, you will notice healthy, thicker hair growth.

No, you will not feel anything under local anesthesia. However, if you choose a sedative, you are more likely to sleep through the procedure, relaxed and painless.

The scars from the incisions will be significantly small and opaque, visible only with trained eyes.

Hair restoration is a long process that requires a lot of patience. It is not wise to expect immediate results, as noticeable hair growth begins three months after the procedure. By the end of the first year, you will likely have new hair that is as long and thick as the existing hair.
