The FUE technique (Follicular Unit Extraction) became one of the most advanced and commonly used hair transplantation techniques, ensuring natural-looking results. It has recently advanced one step further through the use of sapphire blades. FUE hair transplant performed with sapphire blades is not a new technique; instead, it is an innovation for an already reliable process.
The doctors are conducting Sapphire FUE hair transplant using blades made from a precious gemstone called sapphire instead of steel blades used in regular FUE transplant. This sapphire blade is handy for creating incisions within the recipient site. Scientists designed the blades to minimize scab formation and speed up recovery by opening smaller microchannels within the recipient site for transplantation.
THE ADVANTAGES OF THE MICRO FUE TECHNIQUE REALIZED WITH SAPPHIRE BLADES COMPARED TO STEEL BLADES
During the process of opening the microchannels where to implant the hair grafts using the sapphire blade – thanks to its qualities such as a smooth surface with antibacterial properties, hardness, sharpness, and durability – it allows attenuating vibrations, considerably reducing the risk of complications such as trauma and damage to the scalp tissue.
The Micro FUE technique performed with sapphire blades guarantees a very high density; it can plant up to 45 grafts per cm2 of the head, which ensures a dense and natural final result. The incisions created with the intervention will be smaller; therefore, the recovery of the tissues will be faster than when the doctors are using the steel blades, and even the skin will have a smooth surface.
