Sapphire Hair Transplantation

Sapphire hair transplantation is an advanced version of the FUE method that allows us to achieve the most natural hair transplantation results with the possibility of more frequent hair transplantation. One of the most important criteria is to transplant as many grafts as possible in the best possible way. For the success of sapphire hair transplantation, the transplanted hair should be placed as frequently as possible and look so natural that no one will notice that it is a hair transplantation.

It can be said that the Sapphire FUE technique is the hair transplantation method closest to the perfection we aim for in hair transplantation. Thanks to the micro channels opened with sapphire blades, hair follicles taken from the donor area can be obtained in maximum volume in the recipient area, which increases the possibility of solving the hair transplantation problem to the next level. Thanks to sapphire hair transplantation, the bar for naturalness is rising day by day. Safir FUE, the choice of those who dream of a perfect hair transplant, allows us to achieve the best hair transplant results.

What is Sapphire Hair Transplantation?

Sapphire hair transplantation is a minimally invasive, improved version of the FUE hair transplantation method, which is applied with special sharp-tipped surgical pens made of sapphire ore. Hair transplants, which offer a permanent solution to the problem of hair loss, are becoming more common with the development of the FUE technique. Hair follicles are taken one by one from the donor area and transplanted into the channels opened one by one in the bald area. It is a kind of microsurgery application, but the number of micro wounds opened varies between 4 thousand and 6 thousand.

Processing such a large area generally causes significant tissue damage. With the hair transplantation technique, tissue trauma caused by these micro wounds is minimized. The channels opened by sharp sapphire blades are much smaller than in older devices. A smooth surgical incision greatly shortens the wound healing process, reduces tissue deformation and helps us achieve much more natural hair transplantation results.

How is Sapphire Hair Transplantation Applied?

The operation is performed by transplanting the hair follicles taken from the donor area, one by one, into V-shaped incisions made in the transplantation area with sapphire blades. No matter which hair transplantation method is used, the first and most important parameter that determines the result of hair transplantation is the amount of hair in the donor area. It is possible to achieve results beyond expectations with the sapphire hair transplantation technique, even in cases of severe hair loss, but it is important to determine whether there is enough hair in the donor area to meet the patient's expectations.

Sapphire hair transplantation is the same as FUE hair transplantation in terms of application steps. As in the FUE technique, steel punches are used when collecting hair follicles. The Sapphire FUE difference comes into play when creating channels to the recipient area. Instead of the U-shaped steel blades of the classical FUE technique, the Sapphire hair transplantation technique uses much sharper sapphire blades made of natural sapphire stone and aluminum alloy.

What are the Advantages of Sapphire Hair Transplantation?

The surface of sapphire blades is hard and smooth. For this reason, cuts made with a sapphire blade are close to ideal and tissue damage is less. It is very important for the incisions (micro incisions) to be smoother for faster healing. Since the tips of the sapphire blades are V-shaped, our doctors can achieve more frequent and natural hair transplantation results by cutting more frequently. Adjusting the angle of cuts made with sapphire blades is easier than classical methods, and it is very important to adjust the direction of the transplanted hair for a natural look.

Metal allergy is quite common in society, so the widespread use of sapphire blades has a very positive effect on the results of Sapphire hair transplantation in these people. Since the surface of sapphire blades is smooth, it also makes it difficult for germs to attach to this surface and the risk of infection is reduced.

Who is a Suitable Candidate for Sapphire FUE?

All men and women between the ages of 20-60 who have sufficient hair follicles in the donor area can regain their lost hair with the Safir FUE hair transplantation technique. Since sapphire hair transplantation can be used for severe, large-area hair loss, it is a permanent solution for typical hair loss such as temporary hair loss, low forehead line, loose hair and even thinning.

As a professional hair transplantation clinic, we believe that hair transplantation is a complex process that must be done with the same care and attention at every stage. Working with the patient during hair transplantation and establishing strong communication before and after hair transplantation provides significant benefits for both the hair transplantation clinic and the patient.

Collecting Hair Roots in Sapphire FUE Technique

In Sapphire FUE hair transplantation, hair follicles are taken one by one from the donor area at the back of the head. Steel stamps of different diameters are used depending on the thickness of the hair follicles. This stage of Sapphire Fue hair transplantation is similar to the FUE technique. The collected hair follicles are divided into groups according to their thickness and stored in special solutions for transplantation.

Opening of Channels in Sapphire FUE Technique

At this stage, the revolutionary effect of Sapphire hair transplantation in hair transplantation becomes evident. The fact that the micro channels opened with special sapphire tips with a diameter of 1mm/1.3mm and 1.5mm are V-shaped and their angles can be adjusted to each other ensures the best results in obtaining hair.

Transplantation of Hair Roots in Sapphire FUE Technique

To open the channels, sapphire tips of different sizes are used, the diameter of which is as close as possible to the root of the hair to be transplanted.

Sapphire hair transplantation takes 6-8 hours. Hair follicle transplantation is the last step of Safir FUE hair transplantation.

Why is Sapphire Hair Transplant Important?

Sapphire hair transplantation, which has been used since 2016, is relatively new compared to other methods. Sapphire blades are also used in mustache, beard and eyebrow transplants, as they allow the channels to be opened in different directions. This method, which has a very practical application style, is often preferred over other methods due to its effective results. One of the most important factors of the method used is that the healing process is faster and less painful.

What Should Be Done Before Sapphire Hair Transplantation?

For the FUE method using sapphire blades, the patient must first be examined by the doctor who will perform the operation. Any minor health problems or medications used should be noted. Upon doctor's advice, it may be necessary to stop smoking and alcohol consumption for a week or 3-4 days. If blood thinning medication is used, it should be stopped one week in advance. In this case, a doctor who prescribed blood thinning medication should be consulted. People experiencing hair loss can use minoxidil; this medication should be stopped one week before the procedure as it increases bleeding during the procedure. It should not be forgotten that sapphire hair transplantation is a surgical procedure and people should choose clinics that are suitable for them in this discipline.

Since delicate operations such as sapphire hair transplantation cannot be left to chance, the first thing you need to do before Sapphire FUE is to find an experienced clinic. Using sharp sapphire blades requires surgical skill and experience. Regardless of the success of the method, manual dexterity, surgical skill and experience are very important in the Sapphire hair transplantation method. For these reasons, the aesthetic risk in any FUE technique is quite high. The fact that the Sapphire FUE hair transplantation method is technically superior to FUE does not guarantee successful results. Hair transplantation is an aesthetic surgery operation that is based on artistic skills as well as medical content. In Sapphire FUE, this artistic quality becomes more important than in FUE. Treatment applied by inexperienced people may cause undesirable complications and unnatural hair transplantation results.

These hairs start to grow 6 months after the procedure and the result is seen at the end of the first year. It takes up to 2 years to see full results.
