Sapphire FUE hair transplant for men
In continuous development and development, medical sciences are coming up with ever more innovative technologies. Of course, hair restoration procedures are also gaining their share of novelty and becoming more and more important for many people, because these restoration techniques create satisfactory results in terms of physical and mental health, and the acquired sense of beauty attaches great importance to the aesthetic appearance of each of them.
One of these advancements mentioned is the sapphire hair transplant technique. This advanced technique is performed with special tools produced from a precious stone, called sapphire, based on FUE hair transplantation procedures. It is an improved application of the FUE technique. Basically, these sapphire stone blades are used to create incisions at the recipient site, and then hair follicles are implanted into these tiny openings. The V-shaped tip of sapphire blades shortens this process compared to FUE-shaped steel blades, because it provides more incisions with less attempt and does not damage scalp tissue. As a result, an easier procedure and an overall more natural appearance.
Learn about the tool: sapphire blades
Sapphire blades are composed of single-crystal components, which are a hundred times harder than steel blades, but not as strong as diamond. Sapphire blades can withstand many hours of uncomplicated operation, as they have a high level of durability.
The blades are exceptionally sharp and the low friction rate allows the surgeon to operate with minimal tissue trauma. As a result, scarring is significantly reduced and recovery time is reduced. As an ideal tool for microsurgical techniques, sapphire blades offer many advantages, such as:
Sapphire blades hold the cutting edge better than standard surgical tools because they are harder and sharper.
Sapphire blades allow for much finer incisions than standard surgical blades, so cell damage is greatly reduced. Clean and precise incisions speed up the healing period and reduce the possibility of scarring.
– Sapphire is a non-metallic gem, so it cannot lead to metal ions reacting. Sapphire blades do not affect the lymphatic or blood system in any way because they are inactive.
How is sapphire hair transplantation performed?
As with any type of surgery, the first step you will take is to consult your doctor and find out about all kinds of issues that may concern or trouble you. During the consultation, your doctor will first analyze the amount and density of your hair as well as your scalp tissue and your general health, while preparing for several tests. In this way, your doctor will be able to ensure that your physiological health as well as your mental state allow for sapphire surgery. By listening carefully to your concerns, your doctor will try to determine the cause of your hair loss and ensure that your expectations are realistic and appropriately achievable. Then it is time to decide on the recipient region for the transplant. The shape and general characteristics of the patient’s face are the determining factor for planning and drawing the hairline as well as the patient’s expectations and desires.
After the planning phase, you will be taken to the operating room and local anesthetic agents will be injected into your scalp. Once the anesthesia is in effect, the surgeons will begin the extraction process by removing an appropriate amount of grafts using a surgical instrument such as forceps at the back of the head near the neck. Once the extraction is complete, the surgeon will take the necessary measures to prepare the receiving area for graft implantation. Due to the previous planning of the hairline, small incisions will be made depending on the position of the new hair follicles, using sapphire blades. The next and final step is the transplantation of hair follicles. The surgeon will insert each of the extracted grafts into the pre-prepared channels one by one, and finally, the operation will be completed.
It should be noted that about 4,000 to 6,000 grafts can be extracted in each session, and each graft consists of 2 to 3 hair follicles. Depending on the density of hair and the number of follicles extracted, the Sapphire FUE technique enables the transplantation of approximately 50-60 follicles per cm2. In addition, because Sapphire FUE does not require skin lifting or an incision at the donor site, the recovery time required is significantly reduced. Large incisions in the reception area heal within a few days, without any visible scar.
Advantages of sapphire hair transplantation
The most outstanding benefits of Sapphire FUE hair transplant that can play a role in your decision to try or not can be listed as follows:
Since the sapphire blades allow for a much finer canal incision, the amount of bleeding is greatly reduced and the natural qualities of sapphire do not affect the circulatory system. Given all this, the possibility of bleeding after the operation becomes extremely small.
The local anesthetic agents used in the procedure provide a virtually painless experience, and the sapphire blue structure of the blades minimizes the vibrations felt by the patient during the procedure, compared to the classic FUE technique. Less vibration means lower risk of complications such as tissue damage or scalp injury.
Newly implanted grafts are easily fixed at their designated points, because there is almost no tissue damage.
The antibacterial properties of sapphire blades shorten the recovery period.
Because the incisions created with sapphire blades are as minimal as possible, the recovery period becomes relatively shorter and the density of hair growing on the recipient site is higher than that of conventional FUE. With micro hair transplantation, Sapphire FUE provides a largely natural result. Even if you have advanced or sudden hair loss, the success rate of a transplant is at its maximum.
V-shaped tips of sapphire blades improve operating comfort for surgeons. – In the Sapphire FUE procedure, the hair transplants are implanted into the channels that are created according to the extracted hair, with an appropriate depth and angle beforehand. The amount of depth provided by the sapphire blades ensures that the angle of the implanted hairs does not change and that they continue to grow in their original shape.
