Technology has revolutionised hair transplantation and hair loss treatments. There are new developments and innovations every day. Hair transplantation operations have turned into a modern procedure performed with minimally invasive methods. These developments have also been effective in the design of the instruments used, and as a result, hair transplantation techniques have come to a very advanced point today.
The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method is a modern technique widely used in the world of hair transplantation. The success of this method has been further enhanced by the use of special instruments with sapphire tips. In this way, the results obtained have been taken to the top in terms of naturalness.
However, in order to provide a painless experience, sedation and local anaesthesia procedures have now been made so comfortable that they are almost imperceptible before hair transplantation. This is a great comfort, especially for patients with a fear of needles. The hair transplant procedure is already painless, but with sedation this comfort is further enhanced.
Sedation refers to a controlled state of sleep by preserving one’s reflexes. However, this preference is completely up to you; in other words, there is also the option of hair transplantation without sedation.
Sapphire-tipped FUE is an innovation of the FUE method. It aims to accelerate the formation of minimal crusting and the healing process by opening smaller micro channels in the area where the hair follicles will be transplanted. FUE with sapphire tip is performed using special tips produced from real sapphire metal. These sapphire tips perform canalisation with less vibration and tissue damage.
The advantages of FUE with sapphire tips include the ability to transplant more frequently, the ability to achieve a more natural appearance, faster tissue healing and minimal oedema. After the hair transplant operation, it is important to transplant the hair at a natural angle and direction, which becomes easier with sapphire tips.
As a result, hair transplantation techniques are moving towards quality and perfection. FUE with sapphire tips represents an important step in this field and allows you to achieve more natural results. At Este North Clinic, we focus on this success and achieve successful and aesthetically satisfying results with the sapphire-tipped FUE technique. You can contact us for more information and support.
Sapphire or FUE?
The main difference between sapphire FUE and classical FUE is the blade material used during the grooving process. While steel blades are usually used in classical FUE, blades made of sapphire crystals are used in Sapphire FUE. Sapphire crystals are known for their sharpness and durability and can help create more precise and smooth channels in the hair transplantation process.
What are the advantages of sapphire hair transplantation?
Sapphire Tips: Made of real sapphire, the tips have a sharper and smoother surface, allowing for more precise and uniform grooving. Fast Recovery Time: Sapphire FUE generally offers a shorter recovery time due to less tissue destruction and trauma. Less Tissue Destruction: Sapphire tips apply less pressure, causing less damage to the surrounding tissues, which means less tissue destruction. Intensive Hair Transplantation: Sapphire FUE allows for a more frequent hair transplant because more precise channels can be opened, resulting in a more dense and natural look. Comfortable Recovery: There may be less pain, swelling and discomfort after hair transplantation with the Sapphire FUE method, which provides a more comfortable recovery process.
What does Sapphire FUE mean?
Sapphire FUE is a technique used in hair transplantation. In this method, sharper sapphire blades are used instead of micropenis. Thanks to sapphire blades, smaller and sharper cuts can be made in the areas to be transplanted. This provides a more precise hair transplantation and helps the results look more natural. This technique allows thinner and more regular incisions to be made compared to other methods using micropenis.
How many hours does FUE hair transplantation take?
The duration of FUE hair transplantation is usually between 6 and 8 hours. However, this time may vary depending on the size of the area to be transplanted and the number of hair follicles. Especially if hair transplantation is to be performed on large areas, the procedure may take up to 10 hours. This process may vary depending on the number of grafts to be transplanted, the patient's hair and skin structure, the condition of the area to be transplanted and the experience of the surgeon.
DHI or FUE?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) methods are both common techniques used in hair transplantation procedures and each has its own advantages. To determine which method is most suitable for you, you need to consider a number of factors: Your Goals and Needs: If you have a specific goal, such as hairline reconstruction, hair thinning removal or beard transplantation, you can evaluate which method better suits these goals. Graft Count: FUE usually allows more grafts to be transplanted, while the DHI technique usually allows fewer grafts to be transplanted. The number of grafts and the amount of hair you need may affect this choice. Skin and Hair Structure: Your skin and hair structure can be effective in determining which method is more suitable for you. In some cases, one method may be preferred over another based on skin or hair structure. Surgeon's Expertise: The surgeon's experience and expertise can have a significant impact on the success and quality of the results. It is important to evaluate which method they can perform better and which method will give you the best result. Cost: It is also important to consider the cost difference between FUE and DHI methods. Evaluate which method is better suited to your budget and will provide the best value. In conclusion, by evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of both methods, you can determine which method is most suitable for you together with our surgeon.
