transplantation?

Sapphire FUE is an advanced hair transplantation method in which the traditional FUE procedure is performed using needles tipped with sapphire, a very precious mineral. Ruby tip needles are used during the channel opening phase of hair transplantation.

The aim of FUE Saphir hair transplantation is to reduce scab formation and shorten healing time by opening smaller micro-channels in the area where the hair follicles will be transplanted. Ce qu’il faut savoir sur la greffe de cheveux FUE : 

  • • Extraction of hair follicles: The hair follicles taken with special punches using a small motor are implanted into the channels which will be opened by the FUE method.
  • • The method of opening these channels is the primary factor that affects the appearance, angle, direction and density of the hair. For this reason, opening these channels is the most important part in hair transplantation and must be carried out with great care.
  • • This is where the use of rubies comes in. The channel openings, the most important step for the hair to achieve a natural appearance in the future, are opened using ruby-tipped needles.
  • • Sharp, smooth and sturdy 1-1.5mm sapphire tips open channels with the same diameter as the hairline. For this reason, this method is considered one of the most important.
  • A sapphire tip that has been used once cannot be used again for another patient. A separate sapphire tip is used for each patient. In this way, the quality of service is improved while guaranteeing the safety of our patients.
