Sapphire FUE Hair Transplantation
Sapphire FUE hair transplantation is a new generation treatment method that offers a permanent solution for people with hair loss problems. It is characterized by the fact that the special medical blade has a sapphire tip. Since sapphire is a more compatible element for the body, it leaves less damage to the skin, so the recovery period after hair transplantation is not so difficult.
Sapphire FUE is known as an advanced model of the classic FUE technique and differs in the shorter treatment and recovery period. This procedure, which is more painless and effective, offers natural results. In addition, the thin tip offers the possibility of adding hair follicles more frequently.
What is Sapphire FUE?
Sapphire FUE is an innovative hair transplantation method. It is a variation of the FUE technique, which stands for Follicular Unit Extraction. Both women and men can opt for this hair transplant procedure that eliminates the problem of baldness. People suffering from female pattern baldness and male pattern hair loss can get the desired results with Sapphire FUE.
The thin blade with sapphire tip used in the treatment of androgenic alopecia results in less damage to the skin. Thanks to the fine tip, the hair follicles are pulled out of the scalp more easily and in a shorter time, and are easily transferred to the balding skin. The plastic surgeon's skill and artistic perspective also influence the impression of the result. Contact Hülya Düzgünkaya Clinic to get natural looking voluminous hair.
Sapphire FUE Treatment Phases
Hair transplant applications usually proceed in 3 phases and are completed in a short period of time. First, the patient asks for a consultation about the details of the procedure. Then, examinations and tests are performed to determine if the patient is suitable for hair transplantation. Then, hair loss treatment is applied, and finally, post-hair transplant care is completed.
Consultation between the patient and the doctor: the patient's requirements and wishes are learned. What can be done on a realistic basis is communicated. Questions such as "Which hair transplant methods are suitable for me", "How is Sapphire FUE performed, and "Will I have difficulties after hair loss treatment?" are answered by the doctor. What to do before the transplant, what to do during the healing process, and what you should not do in general will be explained in detail.
Tests and Examination: Various medical examinations, including blood tests, will be performed. The patient's regular intake of medications and general health will be checked. The degree of baldness is determined and a decision will be made on how many grafts should be taken accordingly.
Hair Transplantation with Sapphire FUE
Before starting the hair transplantation with Sapphire FUE, the patient is locally anesthetized after it is clear that there are no problems with anesthesia tolerance. After both the donor and target areas - the site of the body where the hair will be harvested and the area where the hair will be transplanted - are anesthetized, the hair follicles are collected one by one using a fine-tipped sapphire blade.
Then, these hair grafts are transplanted into the recipient area. Using a sapphire FUE blade, V-shaped micro-incisions are made in the skin and the hair follicles are implanted directly. The duration of the procedure depends on the number of grafts, the plastic surgeon's skills, the size of the bald area, and the frequency of transplantation. So, it can take 3-4 hours or 7-8 hours. Hair transplantation can be completed in a single session or two sessions can be scheduled.
Care and recovery process after Sapphire FUE
Hair transplant applications are no longer compelling. The evolving technological options have shown their effect both during the treatment and the care process. Moreover, there are points where the Sapphire FUE procedure goes a step further and promises a more comfortable process result. The patient can return to their daily routine. However, there are some points to consider during the recovery period:
- Since the first hair wash is performed by a specialist in the clinic, the patient should follow the instructions for this procedure.
- If external applications such as solutions, creams and lotions are recommended, these products should be used regularly and applied by massaging the scalp.
- When the normal process called shock shedding occurs, the patient should not panic and continue to follow the doctor's recommendations.
- It is recommended to take the painkiller for the first three days. If the pain does not persist, the patient may stop taking medication on the 4th day.
- If the doctor prescribed antibiotics, the medication should be taken in the recommended dose and regularly.
- The patient should not scratch the hair transplant site.
- Heavy physical activities should be refrained from for at least 10 days.
The patient should also avoid direct contact of the scalp with sun rays, try to sleep in an upright position for the first week, and take additional medications if recommended by the doctor. If you use proper care and follow the plastic surgeon's recommendations, the healing process will be more comfortable and completed in less time.
