One of the first hair transplant procedures was the FUT technique. The FUT procedure is currently rarely used due to the invention of the FUE technique. Hair transplantation with the FUE technique is the most common. The extensive usage of this approach can be attributed to two factors. The first is that FUE hair transplant outcomes are extremely successful and natural-looking. The other reason is because, unlike FUT, the FUE procedure does not leave a permanent scar.

Instead of the metal tips that are commonly used while growing hair, the sapphire FUE hair transplant technique uses sapphire tips. The Sapphire FUE technique is an updated version of the FUE procedure. Hair transplantation was performed in order to improve the success and ease of the procedure.

In the Sapphire FUE technique, grafts are retrieved one by one from the donor area with micro tips.  In the balding areas, tubes are opened to transmit the accumulated hair follicles. The opening of the channels is one of the most important features of the hair transplant. The most essential parameters that impact the success and naturalness of a hair transplant are the frequency, degree, and direction of the channels. As a result, it’s critical to properly open these incisions. These channels are given special attention in the Sapphire FUE procedure. The incisions are opened with specific sapphire points in this procedure

The most common hair transplant mistake is opening the channels at an incorrect angle. When hair is transplanted into channels that have been opened at an incorrect angle, the outcome is artificial and unsatisfactory. Hair should resemble a thorn or grass when channels are opened at a right angle.

The operation is painless because to the local anesthetic used before the hair transplant. For people who are afraid of needles, sedation is the best option. The pain that is felt at a low level is essentially non-existent thanks to this treatment.

• The surfaces of the sapphire tips are anti-bacterial. Their surface is smooth and they minimize vibration during hair transplant. In this way, the risk of tissue damage and trauma is minimized.
• It can also be applied in patients with advanced hair loss, as it can be transplanted more frequently with sapphire tips.
• Since the hair roots are transplanted more frequently, a more natural appearance is obtained.
• It provides the opportunity to make a canal by injecting less subcutaneous liquid than a metal slit.
• The swelling and edema are seen after the operation is less in hair transplant done with sapphire tips.
• Since the channels are opened smaller, recovery after the procedure is faster and more comfortable.
• Hair follicles are transplanted into channels of their size. Therefore, the roots will not displace or their degrees will not change.
• Sapphire tips make it easier to hold the hair follicles in place because they do not disturb the blood circulation and damage the tissue.
• Metal-tipped blades cannot be used in people with metal sensitivity. Then, sapphire bits can be used with peace of mind in people with metal sensitivity.
• The ability to transfer hair more often gives the patient a more natural appearance.
