Sapphire FUE Hair Transplantation
Create a requestSapphire FUE Hair Transplantation is an advanced method of follicular unit extraction (FUE) that involves the use of sapphire blades for creating incisions in the recipient area. This technique enhances precision, minimizes trauma to the scalp, and promotes a quicker healing process compared to traditional steel blades.

General
The Sapphire FUE Hair Transplantation method revolutionizes the standard FUE technique by incorporating blades made from sapphire, a material known for its hardness and sharpness. This allows for finer and more precise incisions, which can lead to denser packing of the hair grafts and a more natural-looking hairline. Additionally, the smaller incisions made by the sapphire blades tend to heal faster and with less scarring, resulting in a shorter recovery time for patients. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and involves extracting individual follicular units from the donor area, usually the back of the scalp, and then implanting them into the balding or thinning areas. The use of sapphire blades reduces the risk of trauma to the scalp and minimizes scarring, making it a preferred choice for many patients seeking hair restoration solutions.

- Individuals experiencing male pattern baldness or female pattern hair loss.
- People with sufficient hair density in the donor site.
- Those looking for a less invasive hair restoration option with quicker recovery.
- Patients seeking a natural-looking hairline with minimal scarring.
Recovery Period
- The procedure usually takes 4-8 hours depending on the number of grafts.
- Recovery time varies but most can return to work within 3-5 days post-surgery.
- Full recovery and growth of new hair can take up to 12 months.
Potential Risks and Side Effects
- Risk of infection if post-procedure care is not followed properly.
- Temporary numbness or itching in the treated area.
- Swelling around the forehead and eyes, which usually subsides within a few days.
- Risk of shock loss, where some existing hair temporarily falls out, but typically regrows.
Alternative Treatments
- Traditional FUE hair transplantation using steel blades.
- Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) or strip surgery.
- Medications such as Minoxidil or Finasteride.
- Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for hair growth.
Success Rate
The success rate of Sapphire FUE Hair Transplantation is high, with most patients experiencing significant hair regrowth within 6 to 12 months post-surgery, and satisfaction rates often exceed 90%.
