Sapphire FUE Technique

Sapphire FUE is an advanced hair transplant method using sapphire blades for higher precision, faster healing, and natural results. At İnci Esthetic, patients benefit from minimally invasive, scar-free, and permanent outcomes.

Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant

Sapphire FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is an advanced hair transplantation method that uses blades made of sapphire crystal instead of traditional steel. These ultra-sharp blades create smaller, more precise micro-channels in the recipient area, allowing for higher density, faster healing, and natural results. At İnci Esthetic, Sapphire FUE is performed with state-of-the-art technology to deliver minimally invasive and long-lasting outcomes.

Benefits of Sapphire FUE

Sapphire FUE offers several advantages compared to conventional FUE:
  • Sharper, smoother incisions that minimize tissue trauma.
  • Faster healing and reduced risk of scarring.
  • Higher implant density for fuller hair coverage.
  • More natural-looking hairlines with precise angulation.
  • Reduced bleeding and post-op swelling.
  • Candidates for Sapphire FUE

    This method is ideal for both men and women suffering from hair loss or thinning:
  • Individuals with androgenetic alopecia (male/female pattern baldness).
  • Patients wanting natural density and scar-free results.
  • Those with sufficient donor hair on the scalp.
  • Patients looking for a minimally invasive procedure with fast recovery.
  • Sapphire FUE Procedure

    1) Extraction

    Individual hair follicles are harvested from the donor area using micro-punches.

    2) Channel Opening

    Sapphire blades are used to create ultra-fine channels with precise depth, angle, and direction.

    3) Implantation

    Follicles are carefully implanted into the recipient area, following the natural growth pattern.

    4) Recovery

    Patients typically experience less swelling and heal faster compared to standard FUE.

    Recovery and Aftercare

    Sapphire FUE ensures a smooth recovery process with minimal downtime.
  • Scalp redness usually disappears within 5–7 days.
  • Hair washing can begin after 48 hours under medical guidance.
  • New hair growth starts after 3–4 months.
  • Final results become visible within 9–12 months.
  • Cost Considerations

    The cost of Sapphire FUE depends on the number of grafts and complexity of the case. At İnci Esthetic, patients receive world-class Sapphire FUE treatments at competitive prices compared to Europe and the USA.
    Country Average Cost (EUR per 3,000 grafts)
    Türkiye (İnci Esthetic) €1,800 – €3,200
    Germany €5,000 – €7,000
    United Kingdom €6,000 – €8,000

    Is Sapphire FUE painful?
    No. The procedure is done under local anesthesia, making it virtually pain-free. Mild discomfort may occur during the first days.
    How many grafts can be transplanted with Sapphire FUE?
    Typically up to 3,000–4,000 grafts in one session, depending on the donor area.
    4. How long is the recovery period?
    Most patients heal within 7–10 days, with redness and swelling subsiding quickly.
    When will I see results?
    Initial shedding occurs in the first weeks, new growth starts at 3–4 months, and final results are visible at 9–12 months.
