Sapphire FUE is an advanced variant of Follicular Unit Extraction. By replacing traditional steel blades with blades carved from single-crystal Sapphire gemstones, this procedure achieves incredibly clean micro-incisions, promoting faster healing and minimizing scab formation.
The Sapphire Gemstone Blade Difference
Traditional FUE utilizes slit-like steel blades to open recipient channels. Steel blades, however, have a rougher edge at a microscopic level, which can cause micro-tearing of scalp tissue. Sapphire blades are incredibly smooth, sharp, and durable, opening V-shaped channels instead of U-shaped slits.
The V-shaped channels open clean incisions, reducing localized scabbing by up to 40% and allowing grafts to be locked firmly into place without tilting. This prevents postoperative graft displacement.
