Sapphire Hair Transplant

The most widely used hair transplantation technique in the world is FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction). This technique consists of collecting hair follicles, opening the canals and transplanting the follicles called grafts into the opened canals.

Special sapphire-tipped pens have been developed as a method that minimizes tissue deformation during canal opening, which is one of the stages of the FUE technique, and allows canal opening with maximum frequency. This transplantation model, called Sapphire FUE, is an FUE operation using pens with tips made of real sapphire.

During hair transplantation, a cutting tool called slit is used while opening the channel. However, since tissue damage is high in transplantation with these steel slits, recovery times are relatively long. With sapphire-tipped pens, it is possible to perform a dense and natural transplantation as frequent channels can be opened at the micro level. Since the channels are opened at the micro level, there is a much faster healing process compared to other hair transplantation techniques. Crusting after transplantation is minimal and this is a result that increases patient comfort.

How is sapphire hair transplantation applied?

In the sapphire FUE hair transplantation technique, hair follicles are collected using the FUE technique. However, the channels in the area where hair transplantation will be performed are opened not with steel as in the FUE method, but with sapphire ore in pen form.

Sapphire tips enable much smaller, smoother and denser microchannels to be opened in the transplantation area than steel. The micro opening of the channels minimizes tissue deformation and reduces crusting. Thus, the scalp heals quickly after the application and there is no visible scar. These microchannels opened with sapphire FUE hair transplantation also allow the hair follicles to be transplanted frequently and in accordance with the natural growth direction. Thanks to this technique, those who experience hair loss have natural hair that is indistinguishable from their own hair.

Sapphire FUE hair transplantation can also be combined with other methods that increase comfort and patient satisfaction, such as sedation hair transplantation and unshaven hair transplantation.

Advantages of sapphire hair transplantation

Sapphire tips, the latest technology product used in sapphire FUE hair transplantation, provide more aesthetic and healthy results than steel tips. Since the channels opened with a sapphire-tipped pen are much smaller and smoother, there is less tissue damage in this method compared to other hair transplantation techniques. Thus, the tissues heal quickly after the application without leaving any visible scars.

The very fine sapphire-tipped pen allows the channels to be opened in accordance with the size and angle of the hair follicles. Thus, the hair follicles can be placed into the channels at a natural angle. This ensures that the transplanted hair clings to the scalp more strongly and a very natural appearance is achieved.

The sapphire-tipped pen used in the sapphire FUE method enables microchannels to be opened in the size of the hair follicle. This allows more frequent canals to be opened in the area where hair transplantation will be performed and the roots can be transplanted closer to each other. In the sapphire FUE method, a much more natural and fuller appearance is obtained compared to other techniques with the frequent transplantation of hair follicles.

Who are suitable candidates for sapphire hair transplantation?

All men and women between the ages of 20-60 who have sufficient amount of hair follicles in the donor area can regain their lost hair with the Sapphire FUE hair transplantation technique.

Safir FUE hair transplantation can be used in case of severe hair loss in a large area, as well as a permanent solution for typical hair loss such as opening at the temples, receding forehead line, hair loss from the crown or homogeneous thinning.

After Safir hair transplantation

After the hair transplant operation is completed, they spend at least two more days in Turkey until the first wash is done. After the operation, the patient needs to rest, but the next day you can explore one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Istanbul. This touristic atmosphere is one of the most important things to be counted among the advantages of hair transplantation in Istanbul.

Hair is one of the most important parts of outer appearance and aesthetics. Many people want to have thick and healthy hair. However, hair loss and hair loss problems can occur in both men and women due to various factors such as hormonal factors, air pollution, stress, vitamin and mineral deficiency.
The biggest cause of hair loss in men is genetic factors. Hormonal factors and vitamin and mineral deficiencies such as iron and B12 are the most common causes of hair loss in women. Nowadays, it is possible to get rid of hair loss problems with hair transplantation methods.

What is Sapphire FUE Hair Transplantation?

The FUE method is one of the most commonly used methods by hair transplant specialists. Hair transplant specialists first analyze the hair of patients who apply for hair transplantation. Thus, the structure and quality of the hair, the intensity of the hair loss, and the quality of the hair follicles in the donor area where the hair will be taken are determined.

If it is decided that the patient is suitable for the FUE method, which stands for Follicular Unit Extraction, the procedure begins. The most important advantage of the Sapphire FUE method is that the patient’s hair looks natural after the procedure.

The sapphire mineral is one of the most valuable gemstones in the world, second only to the diamond in terms of price. In the Sapphire FUE method, a special pen with a sapphire tip is used to open the hair’s channels. Sapphire’s superior sharpness over steel guarantees a more hygienic and aesthetically pleasing procedure. Even in the locations where the canal is opened, scarring is minimal and recovery is swift due to the newly created technology.

How is Sapphire FUE Hair Transplantation Performed?

Firstly, hair transplant specialists determine the patient’s front hairline, who has applied with a complaint of hair loss, in order to obtain a natural appearance after the procedure. The most important reason for this is that a front hairline that starts too forward or too backward can make the patient look unnatural. In addition, a straight front hairline is not preferred for naturalness. After determining the front hairline, the open area where hair loss and shedding are intense is

Stages of Sapphire FUE hair transplant Technique

The FUE technique consists of four stages:
Firstly, the donor area, where the hair follicles will be collected, is shaved to facilitate the collection of hair follicles using a micromotor. After this stage, the area where hair follicles will be collected is numbed with local anesthesia, and the second stage is initiated.

During the second stage, the hair follicles are collected one by one from the nape of the neck using the micromotor method. The most important reason for selecting the nape of the neck as the donor area is that the hair in this area is more resistant to shedding. The collection of hair follicles takes about two hours on average.

After the collection stage of healthy hair follicles, it is very important to preserve these hair follicles without causing any damage. Therefore, the collected healthy hair follicles are placed in a special solution. Then, the area where the transplantation will be performed is numbed with local anesthesia. After that, one of the most important stages of the procedure, the canal opening stage, is initiated.
After the follicles are collected, special steel-tipped tools called canals are opened in the area to be transplanted, and the collected hair follicles are transferred to these canals one by one. Sapphire FUE hair transplantation procedure takes about 6-8 hours to complete. All of these are included in the answers to the question of how hair transplantation is performed.

Advantages of Sapphire FUE Technique

The firm and smooth tip of the sapphire blades guarantees precise opening of the incisions with minimal tissue damage, making it possible for hair transplantation to obtain a natural appearance with the least damage and thickness.

Its unique tip makes it easier to set hair directions in a natural way.
Because less fluid is injected during canal opening, post-treatment oedema is reduced, and the donor site is not damaged in any way.
The process and subsequent recuperation are quick.
Tissue and feeling are preserved following the operation.
The initial anesthesia ensures that the patient feels no discomfort throughout the whole treatment.
