What is the difference between classic FUE and Sapphire FUE hair transplant ?
‍
FUE hair transplants are a reference in hair transplantation. Sapphire FUE hair transplant technique differs from conventional FUE in the medical instruments used during the procedure. In fact, unlike conventional hair transplantation which uses steel blades during the creation of incisions in the recipient area, the Sapphire FUE technique uses sapphire blades. Unlike the steel blades used in FUE hair transplantation, which are U-shaped, sapphire blades have a V-shaped shaft. The addition of gemstones makes the incisions more precise.

What are the steps of the FUE Sapphire hair transplant?

The FUE Sapphire hair transplant is painless and takes place in several steps:

1. Preparation of the donor area: to extract and select the grafts from the donor area, the head must first be shaved. The donor area is also anesthetized to ensure the patient’s comfort during the entire procedure.

2. Follicular Unit Extraction: follicular unit extraction is performed with hollow needles ranging from 0.7 to 1 mm in diameter. The grafts are composed of one to four hairs. Once harvested, they are placed in a liquid solution to preserve their vitality while they are implanted. The grafts are checked and sorted before proceeding to the next step.

3. Hair transplantation: The last step consists of implanting the grafts. Hair follicles are carefully transplanted one by one in each incision with a micro forceps over several millimeters in depth, adapting to the recipient area. In this technique, the incisions are made with sapphire blades. Sapphire is a non-metallic gem, so it cannot give rise to metal allergic reaction.
