While the overall approach of these hair transplantation techniques is similar, there are key technical differences between them.

SAPHIRE FUE Technique

If the SAPHIRE FUE technique is used, the process begins with a detailed analysis of the hair follicles. Hair grafts are individually extracted from the donor area at the nape using a micro-punch device. Maintaining the health of the donor area and the quality of the grafts is essential during this step. The extracted grafts are immediately stored in an ICE GRAFT INFUSION device by an assistant nurse to preserve them.

SAPHIRE FUE consists of three main phases. First, the hair follicles are extracted one by one. After the extraction, the donor area is dressed, and the preparation for creating channels where the grafts will be placed begins. This is where the 'SAPHIRE' tool comes into play. Based on measurements taken by the specialist, the appropriate crystal sapphire tip is selected and attached to the pen. This ensures the channels created for the grafts match the exact size of the hair follicles. The goal of using the sapphire pen is to minimize tissue damage, providing a highly effective technique with quicker recovery.

After the channels are opened with the sapphire-tipped pen, the hair follicles stored in the ice box are carefully implanted into the prepared channels, concluding the procedure.

Who Is Suitable for SAPHIRE FUE?

SAPHIRE FUE is a suitable technique for both men and women. Additionally, it is commonly used for eyebrow and beard transplantation due to its precision and minimal tissue damage.
