Sapphire FUE Transplantation Treatment
During the FUE hair transplantation procedure, grafts are taken from the donor site where the hair follicles are located with blades that have micromotors. Collected grafts are implanted into the area with hair loss. To do that, incisions are created on the hairless scalp region first. The structure of the opened channels and the characteristics of the hair follicles are effective in how successful the results will be. The direction and angle of the hair to be transplanted will also be decisive in terms of obtaining a natural appearance. Therefore, it will be advantageous to choose a successful and talented doctor. The use of fine-tipped sapphire blades during the operation makes the process directly comfortable and easy.
Recovery After Sapphire FUE
Since the fine-tipped sapphire blade makes collecting the hair process easier, the healing period indeed takes short time, just like the treatment. Because small incisions will make less scar and extraction will be smooth. So, the risk of complications like major tissue and skin damage, and physical trauma is also reduced. Minimal damages to the tissue heal fast. Edema and pain can be experienced however these side effects will fade out in time. Your doctor may prescribe you painkillers. A bandage can be applied to the hair transplanted area. Following your doctor's instructions, attending mandatory doctor's appointments, and protecting your scalp and your donor region against environmental factors will ensure rapid healing. Shedding can be experienced after the surgery; this is normal and temporary. Your hair will grow back. Healing may take six months to a year and the final results will be permanent.
Sapphire FUE is a hair transplant method that is done with a special medical tool made from a gemstone called Sapphire. In this method, the FUE technique is applied with this special, fine-tipped blade.
With a sapphire-tipped medical blade, the grafts containing hair follicles and tissue are collected from the donor area and transplanted to the target area. Thus, the process is completed in a shorter time, and the hair follicles to be transplanted are not damaged, as there is no long waiting period between harvesting and planting.
Although the experience of pain varies from person to person, intense pain does not occur during and after the FUE Sapphire application. Soreness, ache, and tenderness may occur, which will pass within a few days.
