Currently the technology of hair transplantation and hair loss treatments is constantly evolving. Today they have become a minimally invasive and more efficient surgical procedure.
One of the most modern and widely used techniques is the FUE method, as it guarantees natural-looking results. In addition, this technique has taken its benefits a step further by using special devices with a sapphire scalpel.
What does the Sapphire FUE technique consist of?
This method involves the use of a gemstone to make an incision, instead of a scalpel, thus achieving more natural results. The extracted hair follicles must be transplanted into the incisions created in the recipient areas.
The success of the hair transplant depends on the opening of channels, which will be fundamental in the density, angle and direction of hair growth. In this treatment, instead of scalpel or traditional needles, the microchannels are opened with a sapphire scalpel.
What are the advantages of FUE Sapphire?
The soft sapphire blade reduces friction, so it also avoids the risk of complications such as trauma and damage to the scalp tissue. In addition, because the incisions are smaller, recovery of the hair tissue is faster.
The Sapphire Scalpel allows the scalp to heal faster and the skin to have an even appearance, which prevents clogging or pimples on the skin after treatment.
As the canals are opened to the same length as the hair follicles, the hair follicles are not detached and their angular alignment is not altered after transplantation.
Compared to a steel scalpel, the sapphire scalpel allows for tighter packing of the grafts. This is critical for people with advanced hair loss to achieve a hair transplant with natural results.
