Saphir FUE is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique that uses sapphire blades to extract and implant hair follicles. It is a variation of the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique, which is a well-established method for hair transplantation. Saphir FUE" steht für Saphir-Follicular Unit Extraction. Es handelt sich um eine Fortentwicklung der klassischen FUE-Methode (Follicular Unit Extraction) zur Haartransplantation. Bei der Saphir FUE-Technik werden die Haarfollikel mit Hilfe von speziellen Saphir-Klingen entnommen, anstatt der herkömmlichen Stahlklingen, die bei der klassischen FUE-Methode verwendet werden. Die Verwendung von Saphir-Klingen ermöglicht präzisere Schnitte und reduziert das Risiko von Schäden an den Haarfollikeln und der umliegenden Haut. Dies kann zu einer höheren Überlebensrate der transplantierten Haare führen und die Genesungszeit verkürzen. Die Saphir FUE-Methode wird oft als fortschrittliche und schonendere Option für die Haartransplantation angesehen.

Here's a breakdown of the Saphir FUE hair transplant procedure

Consultation: A consultation with a hair transplant surgeon is the first step. The surgeon will evaluate your scalp to determine if you are a good candidate for Saphir FUE hair transplantation. They will also discuss your desired outcome and develop a treatment plan.

• Preparation: On the day of the surgery, the area of your scalp where the hair will be transplanted will be numbed with local anesthesia.
• Follicle extraction: Using a thin, sharp sapphire blade, the surgeon will extract individual follicular units from the donor area (the back of the scalp).
• Channel creation: In the recipient area (the area of the scalp where hair loss has occurred), the surgeon will create tiny channels using sapphire blades. These channels will be designed to match the natural direction and angle of hair growth.
• Follicle implantation: The extracted follicular units are then carefully implanted into the recipient area using forceps. The surgeon will place each follicle unit into a separate channel, ensuring proper spacing and angulation for a natural appearance.
• Recovery: After the surgery, your scalp will be bandaged for a short period. You may experience some swelling and discomfort for a few days, but this can be managed with medication. You will be able to return to work and most activities the next day.

Benefits of Saphir FUE hair transplantation:

• Minimally invasive procedure
• Less scarring
• Faster healing time
• More natural-looking results
• Sapphire blades are sharper and more durable than traditional steel blades, which can help to create smaller incisions and minimize tissue damage.
• Sapphire is also a biocompatible material, which means it is less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions.

Risks and side effects of Saphir FUE hair transplantation:

• As with any surgery, there are some risks associated with Saphir FUE hair transplantation, including infection, bleeding, and scarring.
• It is important to choose a qualified and experienced hair transplant surgeon to minimize these risks.
• You may also experience some temporary swelling, redness, and crusting around the transplanted hair follicles. These side effects are usually mild and will resolve on their own within a few days.
