Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant
Sapphire hair transplants in are performed with sharper sapphire blades than traditional steel blades. Sapphire Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is preferred by many over conventional hair transplant procedures because the precious gemstone used to make the instruments increases precision. The improved precision has a noticeable impact on the outcomes.
Sapphire FUE versus Classic FUE
Sapphire FUE does not require making huge incisions like standard FUE does.
The process described as a "sapphire FUE transplant" uses sapphire blades in place of the steel blades used in typical FUE transplants. A sapphire blade works brilliantly if you need to make an incision inside the recipient site. Because the blades are designed to open smaller microchannels within the recipient site, the healing process proceeds more quickly and scab development is decreased.
After the patient has received local anesthesia, hair follicles are extracted one at a time from the donor area using a micromotor and micropunches measuring 0.6, 0.7, and 0.8 mm.
Following their extraction using FUE, the follicles are implanted into the recipient sites. These channels can have an impact on the density, angle, and direction of hair growth after a transplant. Opening the channels is the first stage in any successful operation.
Sapphire blades are the best tool available for entering microscopic spaces. Long-lasting, smooth, and sharp sapphire blades in three different diameters (1.0, 1.3, and 1.5 mm) can be used to make incisions that match the length of the follicles. Follicles can now be placed closer to one another since there are more paths available for creation.
What are the pros of hair transplantation with sapphire?
Sapphire blades are a strong, smooth material that works well for opening channels. Because of this, a sapphire blade creates almost perfect cuts with little damage to surrounding tissue. The use of tiny, less invasive incisions (micro incisions) is essential for a quick recovery.
Due to the sapphire blades' V-shaped ending, our surgeons may do FUE hair transplantation more frequently and naturally. Sapphire blades provide for greater freedom in changing the angle at which incisions are made than do older methods.
The direction in which the hair grows after transplantation must be carefully considered while maintaining a natural hairline. Since many people are allergic to metals, hair transplant results have improved due to the widespread usage of sapphire blades.
Similarly, because bacteria cannot adhere to the smooth surface of the sapphire blades, there is a decreased chance of infection.
What are important Factors Before Deciding on Sapphire FUE
Our doctors and technicians will have a conversation during your appointment for a FUE Sapphire hair transplant to choose a course of action. To determine if an applicant is qualified, three things are looked at most frequently:
Cause of baldness
Alopecia marginalis, traction alopecia, or androgenic alopecia are possible candidates for a sapphire hair transplant. These conditions all result in hair loss. Most persons who have experienced trauma, such as burns or scars, who have lost hair in patches are suitable candidates.
Density of the donor area
Because the hair is taken from donor locations, it is vital to have regions of the scalp that are densely covered in hair. Because the procedure of a FUE Sapphire transplant involves moving hair from the donor site to the weak points, it is necessary that these locations have sufficient amounts of healthy hair.
Early signs of hair loss or thinning
When hair density is still seen to be quite high, it is advised that anyone who is just starting to lose hair receive a Sapphire FUE hair transplant. It is important to note that this type of hair transplantation is performed without harming the nearby hair follicles, unlike more conventional FUE procedures.
Sapphire FUE Aftercare & Recovery
Following a Sapphire FUE, recovery is quick.
Even while some soreness or swelling in the treated regions is normal, these side effects shouldn't worry you too much because they will usually go away in a few days at most.
Every patient receiving a Sapphire hair transplant will receive a well developed aftercare kit from us. To help you get the most out of your treatment, this box will provide a plethora of information on how to properly care for your transplanted hairs.
You should expect to see the transplanted hair start to thin and fall out three to four weeks following your Sapphire FUE hair transplant. Your hair will start growing again after a few months; this phase is normal and won't affect the results of your Sapphire FUE hair transplant in the long run.
Your Sapphire FUE operation may not fully manifest for up to a year, but generally speaking, changes become apparent four to six months after the procedure.
Following a hair transplant, aftercare is very crucial. After undergoing any type of hair transplant procedure, whether it be a Sapphire FUE hair transplant, a beard transplant, or another hair transplant procedure, it is imperative that you make sure you take the necessary precautions to protect your hair and scalp.
How long does the healing time for Sapphire FUE take?
You should anticipate that the recovery period following a Sapphire FUE hair transplant won't significantly affect your daily activities. After surgery, it's common to experience some soreness and swelling, but these side effects usually go away in a few days, so there's no need to worry about them. There may be a few tiny scabs at the donor site, but the wound will usually heal in a week or so and become barely noticeable thereafter.
