Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant

Sapphire FUE is performed by İbrahim Erayhan Hair Transplantation Specialist using new generation sapphire tips. Unlike the classical FUE method, Sapphire FUE method allows your tissue to encounter a blade made of real sapphire metal instead of a metal slit while micro-channels are opened. Thanks to the Sapphire FUE method we apply, it is possible to increase the number of grafts and give a more natural hair appearance.

Sapphire tip can open much smaller micro channels than metal slit tips. Smaller channels mean more chances of channeling in the scalp. This is an extremely advantageous option for patients who want a natural and fuller hair appearance.

The direction of hair growth and the angle to be followed while opening the channels cause the number of grafts to be planted to be extremely limited. Frequent hair transplant attempts without the use of advanced blades such as Sapphire FUE make it necessary to transplant the hair much steeper than necessary. This causes your hair to have an artificial appearance, far from the natural 40 degree angle. Sharp, smooth, thin and professional blades used in Sapphire FUE hair transplantation offer a natural and healthy alternative to those who want to have fuller hair.

The treatment stages of Sapphire FUE hair transplantation proceed as follows:

  • If your doctor decides that you are suitable for hair transplantation after the necessary blood tests and tests are done, the procedure is started.
  • Grafts to be used in hair transplantation are collected from your body hair. Our specialist doctors primarily prefer the hair in the nape area, as they have the closest appearance, thickness and chemistry to the real hair structure. If necessary, hair transplantation can be done with grafts taken from areas such as beard and mustache.
  • Sapphire blades are used instead of steel blades to channel the scalp.
  • Micro channels in the width of the hair follicles increase the ability of the hair to adhere to the scalp.
  • Within the framework of the FUE method, each graft is placed on the scalp one by one by your specialist after being kept in its own special solution.
  • You should spend the first three days after Sapphire FUE hair transplantation, within the framework of the recommendations given by your doctor. The third day is called the "first wash day". Our specialist, who hosts our patient in our polyclinic, performs the first wash in the company of his companions and explains the rules to be followed in hair washing in the coming days. In this way, it is ensured that our patient who has Sapphire FUE hair transplantation performs hair care consciously.

Who Can Have Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant?

There is no method-specific distinction in terms of people who can have Sapphire FUE hair transplantation. Sapphire FUE hair transplantation technique can be applied if it is preferred in all candidates who are suitable for hair transplantation.

There are some limitations at the point of people having hair transplantation. Hair transplantation is a treatment method applied to people between the ages of 18 and 80. In order to apply the treatment, the general health status of the patient must be suitable for hair transplantation treatment. In this context, it is necessary to control the disease in order to treat people with chronic diseases such as blood pressure and diabetes.

What Should Be Considered Before Sapphire FUE Hair Transplantation?

What to consider before Sapphire FUE hair transplantation is explained in detail by your surgeon who will perform the procedure at the treatment planning stage. This process is especially important to minimize the risk of complications that may occur during the operation.
The most important issue that patients should pay attention to before Sapphire FUE hair transplantation is to avoid smoking and alcohol consumption. Continuing smoking and alcohol consumption reduces the recovery time and may cause damage to the grafts.
You should be careful not to use blood thinners before the surgery and not to consume herbal supplements that have blood thinning effects, such as green tea, as they increase the risk of bleeding during the surgery.

Finally, on the day of your Sapphire FUE hair transplant treatment, you should make sure that your hair is clean and you should not use any cosmetic products.

What are the Differences between Classical FUE and Sapphire FUE Methods?

The differences between classical FUE and Sapphire FUE techniques are one of the important points to consider when deciding on a hair transplant method.
FUE engines are used in both classical FUE and Safir FUE methods. The difference between the two methods is seen at the grooving stage. In the classical FUE method, steel blades are used during the grooving process to plant the grafts.

In the Sapphire FUE technique, sapphire-tipped medical pens are preferred during the grooving process. Using sapphire tipped blades reduces error rate and recovery time.

Can Sapphire FUE Hair Transplantation Be Preferred For Women?

Sapphire FUE hair transplantation method is a suitable method for women. Hair transplantation in women can take place for many reasons. Stress disorder, hormonal changes, medical treatments, genetic predisposition are the main causes. It is known that 80% of hair loss seen in women is male pattern hair loss. Male pattern hair loss manifests itself in forms such as widening on the forehead, shedding on the top and intense shedding. This can cause serious self-esteem issues. Sapphire FUE hair transplantation method helps you achieve an aesthetically perfect appearance by eliminating the problem of thinning or baldness caused by male pattern hair loss in women.

Can Unshaved Sapphire FUE Hair Transplantation Be Done?

Unshaven sapphire FUE hair transplantation is one of the most preferred methods, especially by women. In the unshaved sapphire FUE method, only the hair in the donor area is shaved. Generally, this region is preferred as the nape region where healthy and strong hair follicles are located. For this reason, it is possible to say that other hairs easily camouflage the area. The most important advantage of unshaven hair transplantation is that it allows patients to perform hair transplantation treatment in privacy without being exposed to social pressure. Hair loss can cause self-confidence problems in patients. Preferring shaved methods in hair transplantation treatment, even if it is for a short time, greatly damages the self-confidence problem of the patients. This makes unshaven Sapphire FUE hair transplantation an ideal method.

What Should Be Considered After Sapphire FUE Hair Transplantation?

Things to consider after Sapphire FUE hair transplant treatment are important points so that the procedure can fully meet your expectations and you can keep the risk of complications at a minimum. Avoiding smoking and alcohol consumption is one of the most important issues that you should pay attention to after hair transplant treatment. Continuing smoking and alcohol consumption greatly increases the risk of complications such as inflammation in the hair follicles and shortens the healing process. Another point to be considered is the protection of the Sapphire FUE hair transplant area against impact and irritation. The transplanted area is very sensitive during the recovery period. For this reason, the area must be protected so that the hair follicles are not damaged. At this point, steps such as choosing clothes that will not cause irritation and avoiding contact with the pillow and the area are important. The first wash after hair transplant treatment should be done in the treatment center. For this reason, you should avoid washing the area until the first wash is finished. It is recommended that you avoid exercise for the first two weeks after Sapphire FUE hair transplantation, and wait three weeks to start heavy exercises. During this period, short walks are recommended for patients who want to exercise.

How is Sapphire FUE Hair Transplantation Recovery Process?

The healing process of sapphire hair transplantation is another issue that needs to be emphasized in order for people to have general knowledge and plan their next processes. Sapphire FUE is one of the most comfortable hair transplantation techniques used today. After the operation, patients need to stay in the hospital. After the hair transplant treatment, there is a one-day rest period. Then the patient can return to his daily life. Two days after the hair transplant treatment, the patient comes to the center for the first wash. Since the first wash is a very delicate process, it should be done by a hair transplant specialist. After the Sapphire FUE hair transplantation treatment, the crusts are removed within the first month. The shock loss process, which is a normal stage of the hair transplant treatment recovery process, is observed between 1 and 3 months after the operation. This process is a complete adaptation process and after the shock loss, the person’s permanent hair begins to grow. 6 months after Sapphire FUE hair transplantation treatment, permanent hair becomes evident. During this period, 60% of the permanent hair is expected to have grown. A period of 10 to 12 months must be completed in order for the expected result from the treatment to be fully seen.
