Sapphire hair transplant is a minimally invasive advanced version of the FUE hair transplant technique and its advantage comes down to the knife used during the channel creation phase, while the classic FUE method uses steel knives for this process.

The Sapphire FUE technique, as the name suggests, is performed using sapphire knives (Sapphire blade) made of synthetic diamond. Sapphire knives are known for their sharpness, smoothness and durability. These properties allow the doctor to create what are known as micro-channels or smaller and more precise channels in the recipient area that significantly shorten the wound healing process, reduce tissue deformation and help us achieve much more natural hair transplant results.

This is important, because the creation of channels is the most important phase of hair transplant surgery, because as mentioned, the nature of these created channels is what plays a role in determining the density, angle and direction of new hair growth after the procedure. The ability to create smaller and more precise channels with sapphire knives produces results that look more natural than can be achieved with a conventional steel knife.
