The most widely used hair transplant technique in the world is FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction). This technique consists of collecting the hair follicles, opening the channels and planting the roots called grafts in the opened channels.

Sapphire tipped special pens have been developed as a method that allows the tissue deformation to be minimized during the canal opening, which is a stage of the FUE technique, and the maximum frequency of canal opening. This sowing model, called Sapphire FUE, is a FUE operation in which pens with real sapphire tips are used.

A cutting tool called a slit is used when opening the canal during hair transplantation. However, since tissue destruction is high in sowing with these steel slits, recovery times are relatively long. It is possible to make a dense and natural planting due to the possibility of opening micro channels with sapphire-tipped pens. Since the channels are opened at the micro level, there is a much faster healing process compared to other hair transplantation techniques. After sowing, crusting is minimal and this is a result that increases patient comfort.

How is sapphire hair transplant applied?

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

Sapphire tips enable the opening of microchannels much smaller, smoother and denser than steel in the area where the planting will be done. Micro-opening of the channels minimizes tissue deformation and reduces crusting. Thus, after the application, the scalp heals quickly and no visible scars remain. These microchannels opened with Sapphire FUE hair transplantation also allow hair follicles to be planted frequently and in accordance with the natural direction of growth. Thanks to this technique, those who experience hair loss have natural hair that cannot be distinguished from their own hair.

Sapphire FUE hair transplantation can be applied in combination with other methods that increase comfort and patient satisfaction, such as sedated hair transplantation and unshaven hair transplantation.

The advantages of sapphire hair transplantation

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

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

The sapphire tip pen used in the Sapphire FUE method enables the opening of microchannels in the size of the hair follicle. This allows channels to be opened at more frequent intervals and the roots to be planted closer to each other in the area where hair transplantation will be performed. In the Sapphire FUE method, a more natural and fuller appearance is obtained by planting the hair follicles frequently compared to other techniques.

Who are suitable candidates for sapphire hair transplantation?

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.

Sapphire FUE hair transplantation is a permanent solution against typical hair loss such as opening at the temples, receding the forehead line, opening the hair from the top or homogeneous thinning, as it can be used in case of severe hair loss in a large area.

After sapphire hair transplant

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. One of the most important things that should be counted among the advantages of hair transplantation in Istanbul is this touristic atmosphere.
