Sapphire Hair Transplant
The biggest feature of the sapphire technique is that the channels opened with a sapphire tip pen make the hair look natural, conform to the texture and minimize the possibility of necrosis.
Two different planting techniques are applied in the world for the planting of the roots transferred from the donor areas. The first and generally widely used technique is the Classic Slit Technique. The roots are planted in the canals prepared with a thin straight incision in the planting area. The channels where the roots will be planted are pre-opened with thin slits. The second is the latest applied sapphire technique. Roots are planted not in straight incisions, but in round holes made with a sapphire-tipped pen.
What is the difference from other methods and why should this method be preferred?
The advantages of the sapphire planting technique can be explained primarily with the "prerequisite for naturalness and frequent planting". In hair transplantation operations, determining the root density in cm2 to be applied to the transplantation area is very important in terms of showing the success and quality of the operation.
It means naturalness in hair transplantation; It means dense hair transplanting to the balding area and having the right angles of the transplanted hair. In the international term, "density" (ie root density in cm2) is the most important determinant. In hair transplantation operations, where the root density in cm2 is studied as 40-45 roots, the result is an extremely dense hairy appearance.
Since the roots are placed in extremely small holes opened by giving the right angles with sapphire-tipped pens, there is no possibility of the roots to be displaced and their angles to change. In addition, there is no risk of damaging the roots, since each root to be planted is held by the hairy part and placed in the hole. Since thin needles are used in the transplantation area after the operation, it helps the planting area to heal after 2-3 days, and most importantly, there is no scar. If it is desired to return to normal life more quickly after the operation, if the hair with natural density is aimed as much as the existing hair, the sapphire technique should be preferred.
How long does the healing process take?
With the Sapphire technique, the healing process of hair transplant operations is extremely fast. At the end of 2-3 days, the planted area heals. The only thing to be considered after the operation is to protect the planted roots from dangers such as rubbing or hitting something.
Are there any side effects?
Hair transplantation with the sapphire technique has no side effects, and it also minimizes negative effects such as necrosis, scars, and edema that can occur with other techniques.
Who Prefers
When a process is sufficiently known and generally accepted, the next step for people about that process is “quality and excellence in detail”. is happening. Hair transplantation followed a similar process over time. Fue hair transplantation is an operation that has been practiced for a long time and is generally known. Now it's time to seek quality and excellence. This quest carries the real success of hair transplantation to the "Sapphire technique". For this reason, our patients who prefer Sapphire transplantation technique are those who do not want to take risks in hair transplantation. Naturalness and hair density are very important for the patient group who prefer the Sapphire technique.
