What is Sapphire FUE Hair Transplantation?

Sapphire FUE hair transplantation (follicular unit extraction) is the process of performing the grooving phase of the FUE hair transplantation technique, which is the most preferred hair transplantation technique, with tips made of synthetic sapphire.

Made of synthetic sapphire, these tips keep their sharpness for a long time because they are hundreds of times harder than steel tips. Sapphire tips used in FUE hair transplantation provide more aesthetic and healthy results compared to the tips used in other techniques.

How to implant grafts?

1- Hairline Determination and Painless Anesthesia

The most important stage of the hair transplant operation, the determination of the front hairline, is a process that should be meticulously performed by a specialist. While performing this procedure, the specialist creates a line that will provide a natural appearance, taking into account the patient's age, patency and the patient's demands. This drawing, made with reference to the temple area, determines the end border to be transplanted.

After this procedure, the patient's hair is shaved and the other areas to be transplanted and the approximate number of grafts to be transplanted into those areas are written.

After this procedure, the patient is taken to the operating room. At this stage, needle-free local anesthesia is applied to the patient. By injecting anesthetic substance under the skin with pressure, the patient progresses the hair transplantation process comfortably, almost without feeling any operation.

2- Removal of Hair Roots from the Determined Donor Area

After the head area of the patient is under the influence of anesthesia, hair follicles are started to be taken from the determined donor area with a special micromotor device. The extracted hair follicles are first separated from each other and arranged one by one on the cloths kept in a special solution. The reason why the grafts taken are kept in a special solution is to increase the strength of the roots and turn them into more efficient hair follicles.

3- Grooving Process Using Sapphire Tip Pen

In the classical FUE operation, metal slits are used in the channel opening for the hair to be transplanted. However, in Sapphire FUE technique, which is the most advanced technology today, a precious metal, sapphire tip pen technology is used instead of metal slit. Unlike metal slits, sapphire tips that open the channels at a more micro level leave minimal tissue damage by accelerating the healing process. The reason why the canal opening is the most important part of hair transplantation, the regrowth angle of the transplanted hair is determined in the canal process. Channel opening is a very important process for a natural look.

We can list the advantages of using sapphire tip instead of metal slit in channel opening as follows.

Opening the channels at a more micro level with the sapphire tip leaves less tissue damage than other methods and accelerates the healing process after hair transplantation.
Since a smaller diameter canal can be opened with a sapphire tip, a more frequent sowing operation can be performed.
A more natural-looking result is obtained as more frequent planting is performed.

4- Transplantation of Grafts Taken from the Donor Area to the Opened Channels

Grafts kept in a special solution are planted one by one, starting from the front hairline, to the designated areas. After the transplantation process is completed, the patient is bandaged. After the final controls, the washing day of the patient who underwent hair transplantation is planned and extra PRP sessions are arranged.
