Here are the typical steps involved in an FUE Sapphire hair transplant
Preparation: On the day of the procedure, you will be prepared for the surgery. This includes cleaning the donor and recipient areas, marking the areas for extraction and implantation, and taking pre-operative photographs for reference.
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb both the donor and recipient areas. This ensures that you will not feel any pain during the procedure.
Donor Hair Extraction: Using specialized FUE tools with sapphire blades, individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area, typically located on the back or sides of the scalp. The use of sapphire blades is believed to provide more precise and cleaner incisions compared to traditional steel blades.
Follicle Preparation: The extracted hair follicles are carefully examined and prepared for transplantation. They are trimmed and sorted to ensure that only healthy and viable follicles are used.
Recipient Site Incisions: Using the sapphire blades, tiny incisions are made in the recipient area, where the hair will be transplanted. These incisions are strategically designed to mimic the natural hair growth pattern and ensure a natural-looking result.
Graft Implantation: The prepared hair follicles are then delicately implanted into the recipient site incisions. This requires precision and skill to ensure proper depth and angle for each graft.
Post-operative Care: After the procedure, you will receive instructions for post-operative care, including information on how to clean and protect the transplanted area. You may also be prescribed medications to aid in healing and reduce the risk of infection.
