Sapphire Hair Transplant — What Is It?
Sapphire FUE uses sapphire-tipped blades (instead of steel) to make recipient site incisions. Sapphire blades create smaller, more precise incisions; less tissue damage; faster healing; ability to place grafts closer for higher density.
Who Is It For?
- FUE candidates wanting refined technique
- Those wanting high density
- Refined hairline design
- Faster healing preferred
