Sapphire Hair Transplant in Turkey

The sapphire method is the latest development in FUE hair transplantation. It uses sapphire blades to open the channels for the extracted bulbs, and as its name implies, these blades are completely made of sapphire. As a result, they are much more durable and do not lose their sharpness over time: this is one among their many advantages over traditional steel blades.

What is exactly this technique about?

FUE is one of the latest, most modern, and most widely used hair transplant techniques to ensure a natural result in cases of baldness and alopecia. Within this context, the use of sapphire blades is not a new technique, but rather an innovation that improves the FUE method using blades made of this precious stone.

A micro punch of between 0.6 and 0.8 mm in diameter is used to extract each bulb from the donor area during FUE hair transplants. After the follicular units have been removed, the grafts are implanted into the previously created micro-channels using an incision made with a sharpened blade.

For the new implanted follicles to look natural and to be successful, the angle, the orientation, and the density of the incisions must match your existing hair.

In order to open these microchannels, steel blades are usually used to open the U-shaped channels. When channels are opened in a U-shape, there is more bleeding and less density. However, when channels are opened in a V-shape, we get a higher density as well as more rapid healing after the operation.

What are the advantages of using this method in a hair transplant?

Nowadays, sapphire hair transplants are the most popular method for hair transplants for a variety of reasons, including less crust formations and quicker healing, and because there are no visible scars, and the result is better, obtaining a higher density in the implanted area. These are some of the main reasons why this method is so popular.

Better density

Sapphire blades allow for a larger area to be treated for hair transplantation by creating smaller incisions and a more precise V-shaped, resulting in a higher density of hair and a more natural appearance.

Less risk of trauma

The main advantage of this technique is the reduced risk of trauma, scalp tissue damage, and other possible complications associated with opening micro-channels.

Faster cicatrization of tissues

Sapphire is used to promote faster healing of the scalp. During the hair implantation procedure, sapphire blades create much smaller openings than steel blades. By using these small incisions, tissue healing time will be sped up and patients will be able to resume their normal lifestyles sooner.

Less risk of complications after the surgery

Blades made from sapphire have a smooth surface with antibacterial properties and incredible precision, which gives them greater durability. Thus, the risk of complications or failure in the tissues is greatly reduced.

Better quality in the implanted grafts

Microchannels of the same length as the hair follicles can be opened with this advanced method. After the hair transplant procedure, there is no chance that the grafts will be moved or their orientation changed.
