Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant
Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant
Sapphire FUE (follicular unit extraction) hair transplant is a type of hair restoration surgery that uses a special device with a sapphire tip to extract hair follicles from the donor area (typically the back of the scalp) and transplant them to the recipient area (where the hair is thinning or missing). The sapphire tip is believed to be less traumatic to the hair follicles than traditional FUE devices, which can potentially improve the survival rate of the transplanted follicles. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and takes several hours to complete. After the surgery, the patient will need to follow the surgeon's instructions for post-surgical care, which may include avoiding strenuous activities and avoiding exposing the transplant site to direct sunlight. The results of the surgery are typically permanent.
