Sapphire FUE Hair Transplantation
Percutaneous Hair Transplantation, also known as Sapphire Hair Transplant or Sapphire FUE, is one of the methods of FUE Hair Transplant. It is different from the Classic FUE Hair Transplant because it uses a different method for canal opening in the recipient area to treat hair loss or a receding hairline.
In the percutaneous technique, the canals or the holes are opened by the special sapphire blades with superfine needles instead of slits in the Classic FUE. And the holes have a round shape instead of a lateral one. This way, each hole will have precisely the same size as the diameter of the hair follicles which means each hole is very small and very tiny.
In the percutaneous technique, the extraction stage is the same as the Classic FUE. Hair follicles are taken one by one from the donor area. The implantation stage is the same again; the hair follicles are placed into the round canals opened by sapphire blades with superfine needles.
Thanks to the use of micromotors and sapphire blades, patients now benefit from much more complete and natural end results.
Advantages of Sapphire Hair Transplant
Because all the canals share the same thickness and angles (just like each hair follicle will) in the recipient area, the percutaneous technique shows the best natural-looking result. In Percutaneous Hair Transplantation, the hair follicles are firmly anchored in very tiny and round holes. That is why hair follicles do not have the risk of moving at all. Another advantage is the fast healing period; just within 3-4 days after your hair transplant, there will no longer be crusting at the transplanted area.
Sapphire FUE vs Classic FUE?
The difference between Sapphire FUE and Classical FUE is the material of the blades. While the Classic FUE is performed by steel blades, Sapphire FUE has sapphire blades.
Compared to Classic FUE, in Sapphire FUE, it is possible to open smaller channels with circular incisions thanks to the sapphire blades. Therefore, the recovery period in Sapphire FUE is shorter than the one with Classic FUE.
And Sapphire FUE guarantees a higher potential of hair regrowth for each hair follicle thanks to the smaller channels that prevent the shift/move of hair follicles.
