Sapphire FUE is one of the hair transplantation methods and can be considered as the advanced version of FUE technique. Apart from being more painless and easier, this method promises a more natural look. One of its main advantages is that more grafts can be transplanted more intensively.

What is Sapphire FUE?

Sapphire FUE stands out as a minimally invasive hair transplantation method and allows the patient to achieve the desired look. It is a modern solution that eliminates the problem of hair loss. It corrects female pattern hair loss and male pattern hair loss problems. The most important factor that distinguishes this technique and differentiates Sapphire FUE and FUE techniques from each other is the blade with sapphire tip. The sharp-edged medical blade made of sapphire ore facilitates the surgeon's work and makes the patient's recovery process more comfortable.

The fine-tipped special tip made of sapphire element facilitates hair removal and hair transplantation. The hair grafts taken from the donor area, i.e. the part of the body where healthy hair follicles are taken, are not damaged. The hair follicles can be easily transplanted into the target area with hair loss. More hair grafts are collected, resulting in maximum volume and naturalness.

There are three basic stages:

• Before the Sapphire FUE,
• Sapphire FUE procedure,
• Post operative hair transplantation care.

The prerequisite for all these steps is consultation.During the preliminary consultation, the patient's expectations and complaints are listened to and the hair structure is examined. The plastic surgeon informs the patient about the operation. The doctor also informs person about hair transplantation methods such as DHI and FUE. What the patient should do before the hair transplantation and what he should do after the Sapphire FUE is explained in detail by the doctor.

Sapphire FUE is usually performed under sedation and local anesthesia. The anesthesiologist decides whether the patient is suitable for anesthesia. The doctor's opinion and the patient's wishes are also important at this point. The plastic surgeon examines the patient's bald skin and determines the course of hair transplantation. Secondly, he examines the quality of the hair follicles in the donor area.

After both areas, the target and the donor area, are anesthetized, the hair follicles are first taken one by one and transplanted into the target area one by one. All of this is done with a sharp-tipped blade. Since the micro incisions are opened, there are no large scars or tissue trauma, which speeds up the healing process. V-shaped canals are opened with a Sapphire blade. The harvested hair roots are transplanted into the minimal incisions. Since the blade has a fine tip, more hair grafts can be transplanted more easily. More transplanted hair follicles mean a more lush and dense hair design. Determining the location, angle and direction of the hair root is also easier thanks to the sapphire blade. Of course, the experience of the specialized doctor and surgical skills are distinctive in this sense.

Sapphire FUE Post Operative Process

After Sapphire FUE hair transplantation, the patient has no difficulty in returning to everyday life. What to do during the first week, first month and first six months is explained to the patient. The first hair wash is performed by a specialized doctor in the clinic. For the first 7-10 days, the patients should not wash their hair. In the further course, the patient is explained how to wash his hair.

In the first period after hair loss treatment, the doctor may prescribe painkillers and antibiotics. The painkillers should be taken until the pain subsides, and the antibiotics should be taken until the end of the treatment. In addition, the doctor may recommend hair products such as creams, lotions and shampoos, and also explains how to apply them.

Edema, redness, pain and swelling are the expected side-effects in the first period. The patient should protect his head and keep his head upright. As it progresses, a situation called the shock hair loss may occur. This is the sudden and rapid loss of the transplanted hair. The patient should not be alarmed because this is a normal side effect. New hair starts to grow back. This time the results are lifelong and permanent.
In the first period, the patient should not do heavy physical exercises, drink plenty of water, do not smoke and do not consume alcohol. If the wound is crusted, it should not be scratched or squeezed.
