The “sapphire” method in hair transplantation means the use of sapphire-tipped tools during the channel opening phase. This method offers several advantages over traditional steel tools.
1. Sapphire Tips
– Material: Sapphire, makes the cutting process more precise thanks to its high hardness and smooth surface.
– Advantages: Sapphire tips ensure better placement of hair follicles and cause less damage to surrounding tissues.
2. Natural Look
– Angle and Direction: Sapphire tips allow hair follicles to be placed at natural angles and directions, thus achieving a more aesthetic result.
– Thinner Channels: Channels opened with sapphire provide a more natural appearance thanks to their thin structure.
3. Speed and Efficiency
– Faster Process: Sapphire tips offer a faster process during cutting, thus helping the surgeon use time more efficiently.
– Less Bleeding: Creating less trauma during cutting allows the healing process to be faster.
4. Healing Process
– Less Risk of Infection: The smooth surface of sapphire tips can reduce the risk of infection by minimizing tissue damage.
– Fast Healing: Less damage usually results in a faster healing process.
5. Requires Expertise
– Grooving with sapphire should be done by experienced and trained experts. This is critical to achieve the best results.
