Review and cost of Sapphire hair transplant in Turkey

What is ice sapphire hair transplant?

The ice technique allows the hair follicles taken during the operation to be placed in the recipient area without losing their function and without dying. When this important development is applied together with the newly developed Sapphire Blades, the operation gives the best result.

Advantages of Using Sapphire Blades in Hair Transplantation

• The sapphire blade, due to its unique structure, creates less vibration when used during hair transplantation. Therefore, tissue injuries and crust formation are minimized.
• Since the channels opened with the sapphire blades are smaller in size, more channels can be created. This naturally means more hair.
• Sapphire hair transplantation, results in increased hair density, which also provides a natural appearance.
• The occurrence of edema after the procedure is minimized, patients experience a more comfortable recovery after surgery.
• The channels created by this technique are very small, these channels heal easily.
• The steel plates lose their sharpness in the long run which might lead to loss of tissues during incision. On the other hand, sapphire blades are much firmer as compared to the typical steel blades and will not lose their sharpness easily.

Sapphire FUE hair transplant side effects

Expertise-requiring surgeries such as Sapphire FUE hair transplant are always accompanied by risks of side effects during and after the operation. Although the risk of occurrence of these minor side effects is quite low and they usually disappear within a few weeks, you should still be aware of the general risks, including:

• Bleeding: One of the most common side effects of hair transplantation is bleeding after and during the operation. You shouldn’t consume cigarettes, alcohol, or blood-thinning medications for at least a week before the operation as they can interrupt the blood flow.
• Swelling of the scalp or bruising around the eyes: Being the most natural part of the post-operative healing process, swelling is completely normal and is harmless. It can occur on the face, forehead, or eyes. You don’t have to feel anxious about it, because it is a temporary and painless condition seen in almost every case.
• Infection and inflammation: Sapphire FUE technique reduces the risk of infection and inflammation to a minimum as a result of the characteristics of the sapphire. If you regularly use your prescribed antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications, you can reduce these risks to a great extent.
• Itching: Being another common side effect of the transplantation procedures, there is a high possibility of feeling a need for itching due to the crusting on the recipient site. It is a temporary condition and can be easily soothed with the help of a mild itching drug.
• Temporary hair loss: a completely normal process as mentioned above.

Sapphire blade hair transplant procedure step by step

As is the case with any surgery, hair transplantation with the Sapphire technique takes place in several different stages, which are as follows:

• First step: Consult a doctor; During the examination, the attending physician analyzes the tissues of your hair and scalp, in addition to your general health.

 Through this examination, the doctor ensures that no medical restrictions are preventing the surgery, and in this examination determines the main cause of hair loss as well, and during the patient’s conversation, the treating doctor tries to understand the patient’s expectations.

At the end of this consultation, a plan is arranged for the hair transplantation with the Sapphire technique.

• The second step: the recipient area for hair transplantation is determined.

Hairlines are drawn on the forehead and other areas, taking into account the shape of the patient's face and features, At this stage, the patient's desires and expectations have a big influence as well.

• The third step: local anesthesia is given to the scalp, and the necessary amount of hair follicles are extracted from the donor area, which means approaching one step closer to actual hair transplantation using the sapphire technique.
• Fourth step: After extracting a sufficient amount of hair follicles, the preparation of the recipient area begins.

The most important of these preparations is the opening of micro-channels on the micro-spots for hair transplantation using sapphire blades.

At this point, the patient is ready for the transplant.

• Fifth step: In this final stage, hair follicles are transplanted.

 Hair follicles are transplanted one by one in an appropriate small channel, using sapphire tapered blades.

When this procedure is completed, Sapphire hair transplantation ends.
