FUE Sapphire-

Follicular Unit Extraction

FUE Sapphire has become an increasingly popular hair transplant procedure during the last eight years. One to four hairs are removed, using a specialist extraction instrument less than 1mm in diameter, and then implanted directly into previously created small incisions, often called “canals”, made by a surgeon. Until recently, these canals were opened using a refined and polished metal microblade. However, many of the leading hospitals now use a specially developed sapphire tip. Although much more expensive, it has created a significant decrease in swelling, which means greater hair growth success rates and far superior density.
