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.
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?

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.

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?

How many grafts do I need for FUE hair transplant?
