GlossarySapphire FUE

sapphire blades enhance precision and healing in hair transplants

Sapphire FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a hair transplant technique that utilizes sapphire blades to create recipient sites for hair follicles. The use of sapphire, a highly durable and precise material, allows for smaller incisions, which can lead to reduced trauma to the scalp and quicker healing times. This method is relevant in hair restoration as it enhances the accuracy of graft placement and can improve overall aesthetic outcomes, distinguishing it from traditional FUE methods that use steel blades.
