A New Life with Sapphire Hair Transplant
Sapphire hair transplantation is an advanced version of the FUE method, which 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 often as possible and it should look so natural that no one will notice that there is a hair transplant.
It can be said that the Sapphire FUE technique is the hair transplantation method that is closest to the perfection we aim for in hair transplantation. Thanks to the micro channels opened with sapphire blades, maximum volume of the hair follicles taken from the donor area can be obtained in the recipient area, thus increasing the possibility of solving the hair transplant problem. Thanks to sapphire hair transplantation, the bar for naturalness is rising day by day. Sapphire FUE, which is the choice of those who dream of a perfect hair transplant, enables 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 transplantation, which offers a permanent solution to the problem of hair loss, is 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 opening varies between 4 thousand and 6 thousand.
Processing such a large area ultimately causes significant tissue damage in general. 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 the old devices. A smooth surgical incision greatly shortens the wound healing process, reduces tissue deformation and helps us achieve much more natural hair transplant 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 with sapphire blades. Whichever method of hair transplantation is used, the first and most important parameter that determines the result of hair transplantation is the amount of hair in the donor area. With the sapphire hair transplantation technique, it is possible to achieve results beyond expectations even in severe hair loss, but it is important to determine whether there is enough hair in the donor area to meet the expectations of the patient.
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 making channels to the receiving area. Instead of the U-shaped steel blades of the classical FUE technique, Sapphire hair transplant 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 sapphire blades are close to ideal and tissue damage is less. It is very important for faster healing that the incisions (micro-incisions) are smoother. Since the ends of the sapphire blades are V-shaped, our doctors can cut more frequently and achieve more natural hair transplantation results. Adjusting the angle of the 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 very common in the society, so the widespread use of sapphire blades affects the results of Sapphire hair transplantation in these people. Since the surface of sapphire blades is smooth, it also makes it difficult for microbes to adhere to this surface and the risk of infection is reduced.
Who is an Eligible Candidate for Sapphire FUE?
All men and women aged 20-60, who have sufficient hair follicles in the donor area, can regain their lost hair with Sapphire FUE hair transplantation technique. Since sapphire hair transplantation can be used for severe, extensive hair loss, it is a permanent solution for typical hair loss such as temporary hair loss, low forehead line, open hair and even thinning.
