Sapphire FUE Hair Transplantation Method
Sapphire FUE hair transplant is one of the aesthetic surgery methods used to eliminate thinning or balding hair problems. In the application of sapphire hair transplantation, the grafts in the donor area are collected one by one with FUE motors and placed one by one in the microchannels opened with the help of sapphire-tipped blades in the hair transplantation area. In this way, the problem of baldness/sparseness is eliminated and it is possible to achieve the aesthetically desired appearance.
Sapphire FUE hair transplantation technique is a procedure that can be performed in a single session and provides permanent results. The fact that the method allows more frequent planting allows excellent results to be obtained in narrow areas.

What Should Be Considered Before Sapphire FUE Hair Transplantation?
What to consider before Sapphire FUE hair transplantation is explained in detail by your surgeon who will perform the procedure during the treatment planning stage. This process is especially important to minimize the risk of complications that may occur during the operation.
The most important issue that patients should pay attention to before Sapphire FUE hair transplantation is to avoid smoking and alcohol consumption. Continuing to consume cigarettes and alcohol reduces the recovery time and may cause damage to the grafts.
Since it increases the risk of bleeding during the operation, you should be careful not to use blood thinners before the operation and to avoid consuming herbal supplements such as green tea, which has a blood-thinning effect.
Finally, on the day of your Sapphire FUE hair transplant treatment, you should make sure that your hair is clean and avoid using any cosmetic products.
What are the Differences Between Classical FUE and Sapphire FUE Methods?
The differences between the classical FUE and Sapphire FUE techniques are one of the important points to be informed about while deciding on the hair transplant method.
FUE engines are used in both classical FUE and Safir FUE methods. The difference between the two methods is observed in the channel opening phase. In the classical FUE method, steel blades are used during the grooving process for the transplantation of grafts.
In the Sapphire FUE technique, sapphire-tipped medical pens are preferred during the grooving process. The use of sapphire-tipped blades shortens the error rate and recovery time.
How Long Does Sapphire FUE Hair Transplantation Take?
To make a clear determination at the point of the Sapphire FUE hair transplantation procedure, treatment planning must be carried out. Many details such as the number of grafts to be used in the Sapphire FUE hair transplantation method and the width of the hair transplantation area can cause a change in the procedure time. In the Sapphire FUE technique, up to 4000 grafts can be applied in a single session. In general, it can be said that hair transplantation operations performed using the Sapphire FUE technique take 6 to 8 hours and the transplantation process is completed in a single session.
How is Sapphire FUE Hair Transplantation Applied?
To apply the Sapphire FUE hair transplant technique, the patient first undergoes a detailed examination and analysis process. In this process, you will first be investigated whether you are suitable for hair analysis. After it is understood that you do not have any obstacles at the point of hair transplantation, the operation planning stage is started. After determining the details such as the area where the hair transplant will be performed, the number of grafts to be applied during the operation, the selection of the donor area and the targeted appearance after the procedure are determined, the date for the hair transplant operation is determined.
Sapphire FUE hair transplant application starts with sedation. Sedation of the patient prevents the feeling of pain and pain during the operation. Sedation is not a mandatory step and is left to the patient’s preference.
After local anaesthesia is applied to the patient, the graft collection phase, which is one of the basic stages of Sapphire hair transplantation, is started.
For hair transplantation, grafts can be taken from the nape area, or other areas such as the chest if the patient does not have enough grafts in the nape area. In Sapphire FUE hair transplantation application, grafts are loosened and collected one by one by using FUE motors during the graft collection process. The collection of grafts with FUE motors reduces the recovery time of the patient and allows healthy grafts to be planted by minimizing the time that the grafts stay outdoors.
In the next stage, microchannels are opened in which the grafts will be placed in the area determined for hair transplantation to perform hair transplantation. In the sapphire FUE technique, the grooving phase is performed using sapphire-tipped blades. The most important difference that distinguishes the method from other techniques is at this point. The use of sapphire-tipped blades prevents damage to the tissues and ensures that the procedure can be performed without disturbing the blood circulation.
After the channel opening process, the hair transplantation phase starts and the operation is ended by placing the grafts one by one into the channels opened using the FUE method.
