There are a variety of hair transplant techniques available, but one that is growing in popularity due to its high efficiency of physical properties is the Sapphire FUE technique. This technique takes it names from the precious gemstone Sapphire. In Sapphire FUE technique, the surgeon uses a special made tool equipped with sapphire blades rather than regular steel blades when creating incisions on the recipient area. If you are planning to undergo the hair transplantation procedure and not sure about which technique is suitable for you make sure that you have been informed about Sapphire FUE technique before making your decision.

Sapphire Micro Fue Hair Transplant is an recent and efficient FUE hair transplantation technique, proved by experienced surgeons and many satisfied hair transplantation patients. Main purpose of the procedure is to transplant the healthy and DHT resistant hair follicles to the balding areas of the scalp. The area, where those DHT resistant hair follicles located is called “donor area”and the balding areas where the healthy grafts will be implemented is called “recipient area”. 

The procedure performed under local anesthesia, which is applied to both donor and recipient areas of the patients. Thanks to our needle-free anesthesia equipment, it is possible to have painless and high comfort local anesthesia process for our patients.

Grafts are harvested from the donor area with a sharp punch by manual force or assistance of a micromotor. Size of the punches were chosen in line with the diameter of the follicles in the donor area. This sharp punch leads follicle to deatach from the surrounding tissue, then follicle will be released with a special-made microforceps. 

Harvested grafts are evaluated and classified and stored special petri boxes under desired conditions until the implementation.

Meanwhile, the surgeon creates Sapphire incisions on the recipient area. These incisions introduce the density and natural book of the hair transplantation. Therefore, it is important to have an experienced surgeon performing the procedure.

Lastly, grafts are carefully implemented inside the incisions created. After all grafts are transplanted the procedure ends and the patient will start to await for the growth stage.

What Is Fue Hair Transplant?

Unlike traditional FUT (strip) hair transplantation technique, Sapphire Fue Method Hair Transplant is performed by taking follicular units individually from the donor area with a sharp punch almost a millimeter in diameter and transplant those harvested grafts into the recipient area.

The donor area’s exact location is depending from patient to patient but it generally located on sides and back of the scalp. Hair follicles located in these areas are known to be DHT resistant. It can be said that, the DHT resistant grafts located on “donor areas” don’t get effected from the androgenetic alopecia which also known as male-pattern-baldness. When harvested grafts implemented into the recipient area, which are front line and vertex in general, they will be remain being DHT resistant and will not fall off again if the procedure is performed professionally.

The punch incisions made during harvesting are micro surgical and it leaves no visible scarring on the donor area. When compared to traditional FUT method, FUE technique made a significant improvement in hair transplantation in terms of achieving the most aesthetic and natural post-operation look on donor area.  

When compared to traditional FUT (strip) surgery, FUE technique has significantly increased post-operation life quality of patients and shortens the healing period. Moreover, FUE technique allows surgeons to harvest significant amount of hair follicles and increases the success rates of the operation. On the other hand, it is possible to harvest from non-scalp hair which are mainly body hair and beard.

Ice Fue Hair Transplant

Ice Fue Hair transplant uses Ice with a hair transplant, as the name states, using the FUE technique to harvest hair follicles from the donor area into the recipient area. The retrieved hair grafts are placed in a solution to maintain them at a very cold temperature. This is done to keep the hair follicles protected and active before they are transplanted.


Hair follicles are removed from the donor site and stored in a solution to preserve their naturalness. This minimizes damage to the hair follicles while preserving their viability. This technique strengthens the roots. The lifespan of this treatment is also an extended amount of time as the hair follicles are stored in a solution that contains factors that promote cell growth and vitality of the hair.


The solution in this mix is high in vitamins and antioxidants, which helps to protect tissue and cells.The composition of the solution is responsible for hair follicle survival. The transplant of tissue that connects blood vessels and nerves that supply hair is part of the hair transplant procedure. The hair follicles are removed from the skin and then transplanted to the bald region.


The hair follicles retrieved from the donor location are more active, and when transplanted, they produce more vibrant and stronger hair strands.Therefore, it helps the hair appear thicker and denser. Also, due to the fact that hair follicles held at low temperatures are subjected to an anti-inflammatory impact, their growth time is shortened.
