What is Sapphire Hair Transplant?
Sapphire hair transplant is a hair transplant technique that combines the Micro FUE (micro follicular unit extraction) method and uses sapphire blades, a precious and durable stone. Indeed, the blade is fitted with sapphire blades instead of the usual steel blades to perform the incisions required for the hair transplant procedure. The Micro FUE (follicular unit extraction) method involves individually extracting the grafts or follicular units from the donor area using an instrument equipped with a micromotor. This is a minimally invasive procedure that allows patients to recover faster and leaves fewer scars.
There are various techniques for grafting hair to the recipient site. Hair transplantation is considered an effective and lasting solution to hair loss. The use of sapphire blades for FUE hair transplantation increases the success rate of this type of operation. The sapphire blades used for hair transplantation have a V-shaped pin. It makes it possible to make more precise incisions, which helps to reduce the open channels. This reduces the likelihood of damaging neighboring follicles and leaving scars. Therefore, sapphire hair transplantation is an ideal method for men and women suffering from recent hair loss, as hair density is considered high.

Procedure of Sapphire Hair Transplant
The sapphire hair transplant begins with a preoperative examination of the patient requesting the treatment in question. During this phase, the patient is asked a few questions about their medical history. Then, the doctor determines the type of hair loss and the type of frontal line to be reconstructed with the transplant. He then draws up the design of the entire area to be covered by the transplant. In general, the intervention is planned taking into account the patient’s needs and expectations.
On the day of the operation, the patient’s hair is cut to 3 mm. The donor area is anesthetized, and the follicular units are extracted. After extraction, a local anesthetic is applied to the transplant area. Then, the channels into which the follicular units will be inserted are created using sapphire blades. Finally, the follicular units that have been separated from the tissue in the meantime are inserted into these channels. Opening channels using sapphire blades is very effective. Moreover, since sapphire is stronger than steel, the whole process becomes easier. We can therefore say that the material used to make the hair transplant instrument has a great influence on the success rate of the operation.

Risks of Sapphire Hair Transplant
Sapphire FUE hair transplant, like any surgical procedure, presents some risks of side effects during and after the operation. Although the risk of these minor side effects is quite low and they usually disappear within a few weeks, you should nevertheless be aware of the general risks, including:
- Bleeding: one of the most common side effects of hair transplantation is bleeding after and during the operation. For this reason, it is necessary to avoid smoking, consuming alcohol, or taking anticoagulant medications for at least one week before the operation, as they can disrupt blood circulation;
- Scalp swelling or bruising around the eyes: being the most natural part of the postoperative healing process, swelling is quite normal and harmless. It may appear on the face, forehead, and even the eyes. You should not feel anxious about this, as it is a temporary and painless condition observed in almost all cases;
- Infection and inflammation: The sapphire FUE technique minimizes the risk of infection and inflammation thanks to the characteristics of the scalpel. If you regularly use the prescribed antibiotics and anti-inflammatories, you can reduce these risks to a large extent;
- Itching: Another common side effect of hair transplant procedures, there is a high probability of itching due to the formation of scabs on the recipient site. This is a temporary condition that is treated with a mild anti-itch medication;
- Temporary hair loss: a perfectly normal process called shock loss;
Post-operative care for Sapphire Hair Transplant
Sapphire hair transplant does not require hospitalization. However, after the transplant, your head will be bandaged and a little sore. It is normal to have some blood stains on your bandages, don’t worry, it’s something completely normal and only happens on the first day. Do not touch the area, use the bandage for as long as possible and sleep as straight as possible using the neck pillow. The first week is essential for the success of a hair transplant. The grafted follicle must take root in its new location. Although almost 100% of the grafted follicles survive transplantation, extreme caution must be exercised and instructions must be followed scrupulously.
Are there any contraindications to Sapphire FUE hair transplant?
There are contraindications to Sapphire FUE hair transplant that must be considered before the procedure. Certain medical conditions are contraindications to the transplant, for example:
- coagulation disorders,
- active autoimmune diseases,
- chronic scalp infections.
What is the difference between classic FUE and FUE with sapphire blade?
The main difference between the classic FUE method and the FUE with sapphire blade lies in the incisions in the recipient area. In classic FUE, a steel blade is generally used to make these incisions. On the other hand, FUE with a sapphire blade uses a sapphire blade, a harder and sharper material. This blade allows for more precise, finer, and more regular incisions, which promotes faster healing and reduces the risk of visible scars. In addition, FUE with a sapphire blade can offer higher hair density and a more natural look, as it allows for closer positioning of the grafts. In short, although both techniques are based on the same basic principle, FUE with a sapphire blade ensures superior aesthetic results and a shorter recovery time.
Classic FUE, Sapphire FUE, or Manual FUE, which technique to choose?
The choice between classic FUE, FUE with sapphire blade, and manual FUE depends on several factors, including:
- aesthetic goals,
- hair quality,
- following the surgeon’s recommendations.
