In recent years, Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) has emerged as a popular hair transplant method, offering a range of benefits over traditional techniques. Combined with the use of Sapphire blades, FUE provides patients with a more precise and less invasive procedure, resulting in natural-looking and long-lasting results. Lets answer some common questions and debunk myths surrounding FUE and Sapphire hair transplantation along with the key benefits, qualifications of ideal candidates, cost considerations, and more.
What is a FUE Hair Transplant?
FUE hair transplant is a modern hair restoration technique that involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area using specialized tools, such as punch grafts. The extracted follicles are then transplanted into the recipient area of the scalp, where hair loss has occurred.
FUE hair transplant has gained popularity worldwide, particularly in countries such as Turkey. Istanbul is known for being a hub for FUE hair transplant procedures, with many clinics offering high-quality services. Clinics in Turkey also offer a new technique known as Sapphire FUE, which involves using sapphire blades to make incisions during the transplant procedure.
Before undergoing an FUE hair transplant, it is important to have a consultation with a specialist to determine whether the procedure is appropriate for you. After the transplant, there is typically a recovery period during which the scalp will heal, and the transplanted hair follicles will begin to grow.
Many individuals who have undergone FUE hair transplant procedures in Turkey have reported positive results, with significant improvements in hair growth and overall appearance. Our before and after photos of FUE hair transplant patients in Turkey showcase the remarkable transformations you can see below or on our homepage.
What is Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant?
Both Sapphire hair transplant and FUE hair transplant use the same procedures, but the uniqueness of Sapphire FUE hair transplant is the use of sapphire tips instead of traditional metal slits at the channel creation stage. The channels are opened with a minimum incision which ensures less crusting and provides faster healing. Moreover, Sapphire tips allow accurate and close transplantation of hair follicles, thereby providing a natural look.
Sapphire FUE Surgery
Estenove’s sapphire hair transplant creates fine channels by sapphire blades to provide more natural-looking results. Made from precious gemstone, Sapphire tips have smooth surfaces and antibacterial properties. They offer hardness, sharpness, and durability with less vibration when used in the hair transplantation process. As a result, there is no tissue damage, and the results have a dramatic increase in success.
Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant Procedure
1. Consultation and Preparation
The surgeon discusses your requirements and finalizes the number of grafts and hairstyle. The hairline is marked, and necessary blood tests are taken
2. Local Anesthesia
The donor area is disinfected, and local anesthesia is used to numb the scalp. A pressure device may be used to minimize discomfort.
3. Extraction and Opening Canals
Hair follicles are extracted individually using specialized tools, and canals for hair follicles are opened using sapphire tips.
4. Implantation
The extracted hair follicles are transplanted into the recipient area using forceps over the course of a few hours.
Key Benefits of FUE Over Traditional Hair Transplant Methods
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) has revolutionized the field of hair transplantation with its numerous advantages over traditional methods. For individuals grappling with hair loss, FUE stands out as a cutting-edge solution that offers both effectiveness and aesthetic appeal. One of the standout features of FUE is the absence of a linear scar, a common concern with traditional hair transplant techniques. By meticulously extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area without the need for a long strip, FUE ensures a seamless and scar-free outcome, enhancing both physical appearance and self-confidence.

Moreover, the integration of Sapphire blades in the FUE procedure elevates the precision and finesse of the process to new heights. These specialized blades, characterized by their unique shape and smooth surface, play a pivotal role in minimizing trauma to the scalp during extraction. By reducing the risk of damage to surrounding hair follicles, Sapphire blades contribute significantly to enhancing graft survival rates and achieving remarkably natural-looking results. The utilization of this advanced technology underscores the commitment of FUE practitioners to delivering outcomes that not only restore hair but also preserve the integrity and aesthetics of the scalp.
FAQ About FUE Hair Transplant
Is FUE hair transplant permanent?
Yes, it is. In FUE hair transplant, hair follicles are removed from the donor and placed into the recipient area. As a result, the results are natural, visible and long-lasting. A significant change in hair growth will be seen within a year in the transplanted area.
Is FUE a painful procedure?
Contrary to this belief, FUE is usually performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort during the procedure. Most patients report only mild discomfort during the healing process.
Is FUE only for men?
Although male pattern baldness is more common, FUE can also be an effective solution for women experiencing hair loss. It allows for precise graft placement, making it suitable for both genders.
Does FUE result in a "patchy" appearance?
This myth stems from misconceptions about the healing process. While minor shedding of transplanted hairs is normal after the procedure, over time, new hair growth will replace the shed hairs, resulting in a fuller and natural-looking head of hair.
How successful is FUE hair transplant?
Yes, it is very successful. As per research, 95% of all implanted grafts grow well in an FUE hair transplant. The higher the percentage, the better is the success rate of the procedure. Unlike other transplants, there will not be a phenomenon of rejection called a graft in FUE hair transplant due to its advanced technologies.
Can women have FUE hair transplant?
Yes, women can also have a hair transplant, but the cause of hair loss needs to be well diagnosed. Because of androgenetic alopecia, known as male-type hair loss, hair loss resulting from the regression of the forehead line of the hair or an opening in the crest, women can also have hair transplantation.
How long does the FUE recovery process take?
The recovery process varies from person to person, but most individuals are able to resume their regular activities within 2-3 days. However, it may take several months for the full results to be visible as the transplanted hair gradually grows. Check out hair transplant recovery timeline for a detailed info.
Which is better, FUE or FUT hair transplant?
FUE hair transplant is better than FUT due to its use of advanced tools and technologies. FUE hair transplant is very effective and provides excellent, natural results. Check out fue vs fut for more info.
Can someone have a hair transplant at any age?
Technically, there is no age limit for hair transplants. So, hair transplant can be applied to everyone from 22 to 65 years of age. But we cannot say, all people in this age range can have a hair transplant. Therefore, the determinants are hair type, hair loss condition and the general health condition of the patient.
How many grafts do I need for FUE hair transplant?
The number of grafts required for a successful hair transplant varies based on individual needs and goals. Factors such as hair density, hair loss pattern, and the desired level of coverage play a crucial role in determining the number of grafts needed to achieve the desired results. Make use of our hair transplant graft & cost calculator tool to estimate the number of grafts you will need for your hair transplant operation.
Does transplanted hair look natural?
Yes, it does look natural. In an FUE hair transplant, the surgeon extracts the healthy hair follicles utilising a specialised instrument and implants them in the bald area one by one. As a result, it provides a natural look if the surgery is done well. Check out hair transplant before & after page for more detailed view.
Can the transplanted hair be styled and cut like natural hair?
Absolutely! The transplanted hair can be styled, cut, and treated just like natural hair. Feel free to visit a professional hairstylist once the healing process is complete.
Can transplanted hair grow long?
Yes, it can. You can maintain your hair short for the first nine to ten months. This is because the results of the transplanted hair will be visible only after a year. Moreover, you need to ensure that you let your hair grow long enough two-three months after the year of operation.
Does Estenove offer a guarantee for hair transplantation?
