Sapphire FUE
Sapphire FUE is becoming increasingly popular for its ability to restore hair with less discomfort and
quicker healing. Compared to traditional hair transplants, a Sapphire FUE uses specialised sapphire
blades to open hair channels. Because it eliminates the reliance on steel blades, it also eliminates all the
discomfort, scabbing, and scarring associated with it.
Every hair transplant involves the extraction of strip-bearing scalp tissue, which is used to foster growth
in the balding areas. The use of more precise Sapphire blades ensures that only tiny incisions are made
for extraction.

Benefits Expected
- The Sapphire blades have natural antibacterial properties and facilitate a quicker healing process.
- It follows a gentle extraction compared to steel blades, resulting in a lowered risk of trauma and scalp tissue damage.
- Compared to alternatives, Sapphire FUE ensures higher-density hair by allowing a greater number of microchannels to be made throughout the scalp. On average, at least 5000 grafts can be created throughout the scalp within one treatment.
- The v-shaped, smaller Sapphire blades enable more precise angling and cutting during the implantation, resulting in a more natural outcome.
- Steel and other metallic materials can be unsuitable for those with sensitive scalp or different allergies. Sapphire Blades are made with naturally-occurring gemstones which pose little to no risk of an allergic reaction.
- It also stands out for those with a bleeding disorder or other relevant conditions. With smaller incisions and a less aggressive channel opening, the Sapphire blades minimise the risk of bleeding.
- It leaves your scalp with smoother and less bumpy skin compared to transplants made with bigger channel openings and incisions.
