Percutaneous (Sapphire) Hair Transplantation
Sapphire hair transplantation is in fact a new hair transplantation technique in which the slots -where hair follicles are placed- are opened using a sapphire tip, obtained from natural sapphire mineral without damaging the skin texture. Technological developments in hair transplantation also greatly increase the success rate of hair transplantation treatments. Advancements in this field both affect the healing process after transplantation applications and help receiving much more hair grafts and achieving denser hair with only minimal errors. The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method is known as the most advanced hair transplantation technique today. Successful results obtained from the FUE method are further enhanced with the use of special sapphire-tipped devices.
Difference between Sapphire FUE and Classic FUE
A special sapphire tip made from one of the most precious gemstones is used instead of a metal tip for opening channels in the FUE operations. This is the biggest difference between them. A FUE hair transplant done with a sapphire tip is not a technique in itself, but an innovation applied in the FUE method. The sapphire technique is designed for resulting in a bare minimum level of scalp scaling and accelerating the healing process afterwards by opening micro-channels to be placed in grafts.
Advantages of Sapphire Hair Transplantation

- The recovery rate and success rate are higher.
- Postoperative pain and bleeding is minimal.
- Postoperatively there is a lower risk of getting an infection and most importantly it offers a more natural-looking appearance.
