Comparison of FUE Hair Transplant with Sapphire Tip and Metal Slit

FUE, which is produced from sapphire, a precious metal, is the use of a special sapphire tip instead of metal slit in the grooving phase of hair transplantation. FUE with sapphire tip is not a technique, it is an innovation applied in this method. By opening smaller micro channels in the area where the hair follicles will be transplanted, it provides minimal crusting and accelerates the healing process.

In FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) performed with a sapphire tip, hair follicles are taken one by one from the donor area with micro-tips of 0.6-0.7-0.8 mm in diameter by means of a micro motor under local anesthesia, the collected hairs are poured into the channels opened in the FUE method. is planted. Channels significantly affect the appearance of the hair. It also directly affects the angle, direction and frequency, so opening the channels is the most important step in the success of the surgery.

Micro channels are best opened with special sapphire tips. Hair follicles are planted in the opened channels. The channels opened with sharp, smooth and durable tips between 1.0-1.3-1.5 mm are in the size of the hair follicle, allowing the number of opened channels to increase and the hair follicles to be planted closer to each other.
