The new Sapphire FUE method is a step up from the traditional FUE method. In this method, patients feel less discomfort and enjoy faster healing. Over 98.5% of patients report more dense and natural-looking hairline results with minimum scaring
How is FUE Sapphire Performed?
In Sapphire FUE hair transplant in extraction, the medical team will perform the slit (perforation in the skin to make the recipient site for graft) with a sapphire gem 0.6 to 0.8 millimeters wide, vs needles used in traditional FUE.
The exact creation of channels shape which is made in the slit technique has a crucial role in the density, depth, and direction of hair growth, this is a major contributor to the success of the sapphire method hair transplant.
