In hair transplant operations, the channel to be opened and channel density are important factors that affect the fate of the hair transplant as much as the grafts to be taken from the donor area. For this critical process, tools such as a scalpel or punch being used to open channels were replaced by Sapphire-tipped pens with the new technology.
Among the hair transplant methods, Sapphire FUE hair transplant has stood out in recent years. The main factor that distinguishes this method from the FUE method is that the channels opened during implanting are opened with a special-tipped glass pens, which are obtained from sapphire mineral instead of metal-tipped scalpel and slits.
Operations with special sapphire-tipped pens provide great advantages in terms of naturalness and healing time of the transplanted hair. Channel opening process which one of the most critical processes in hair transplant, and the implant of grafts into the opened channels thus become more risk-free and healthier and this makes FUE Sapphire Hair Transplant advantageous.
The channels that were opened in hair transplant operations were previously made with razor-tipped tools called scalpel or punch. Due to the metal tip and split, wounds could be formed, and even scars could remain. However, FUE Sapphire-tip pens, which come into use thanks to the developing technology, provide a great advantage for both the patient and the specialist. While there are no cut marks left in the opened channels, no wounds are formed, at the same time, the channels heal faster after transplant.
In the channels opened with FUE sapphire tip after hair transplant, it is seen that the incrustation decreases and the grafts implanted into the opened channels are held much better. Thus, the Sapphire FUE hair transplant method accelerates the healing process. For this reason, operations with Sapphire tip have started to be preferred today.
