Sapphire FUE
Sapphire FUE is an advanced variation of traditional FUE that uses blades made from sapphire crystal instead of steel. The sapphire blades create smaller, smoother incisions that heal faster and allow for closer placement of grafts, resulting in higher density results. This technique minimizes tissue trauma and reduces recovery time.
- Smaller, more precise incisions
- Faster healing time
- Higher graft density possible
- Reduced tissue trauma
- Smoother blade surface
- Less scarring
What makes Sapphire FUE different from regular FUE?
Sapphire FUE uses blades made from sapphire crystal instead of steel, creating smaller and smoother incisions that heal faster and allow for higher density placement.
Is Sapphire FUE more expensive?
Sapphire FUE typically costs slightly more than standard FUE due to the specialized blades, but many patients find the faster healing and higher density results worth the investment.
Who is a good candidate for Sapphire FUE?
Sapphire FUE is ideal for patients seeking maximum density, faster healing times, or those with sensitive scalps who may benefit from the smoother blade surface.
