Local Anesthesia
Before the procedure begins, a local anesthetic is applied to the donor and recipient areas to ensure a pain-free experience.
Donor Hair Extraction
Using a specialized micro-punch tool, individual hair follicles are carefully extracted from the donor area, typically at the back or sides of the scalp. This step requires precision and care to maintain follicle integrity for successful implantation.
Recipient Site Preparation
Unlike traditional FUE, which uses steel blades, Sapphire FUE utilizes ultra-sharp Sapphire blades to create V-shaped incisions. These fine, precise channels allow for denser graft placement, ensuring a more natural hairline and even coverage.
Recipient Area Preparation
The recipient area is prepared using FUE-compatible micro-incisions, strategically placed to match the natural angle, depth, and growth direction of your existing hair. This step is essential for creating a seamless and natural appearance.
Implantation
Each extracted follicle is carefully implanted into the Sapphire-made incisions, following the natural growth direction and density of the patient’s existing hair. This technique helps achieve a fuller, more natural-looking result.
Final Adjustments and Scalp Care
Once the implantation is complete, the scalp is cleaned, and a post-procedure assessment is performed to ensure proper graft positioning. The precise nature of Sapphire incisions results in less scabbing and a quicker recovery period.
Aftercare and Recovery Support
Patients receive a personalized aftercare plan, including specialized shampoos, medications, and scalp care instructions. The reduced trauma from Sapphire blades leads to faster healing, allowing patients to return to daily activities sooner.
