WHAT IS SAPPHIRE FUE HAIR TRANSPLANTATION TECHNIQUE?Normally, sterile stainless steel tipped blades are used in hair transplant surgeries. Grafts taken from the donor area with the FUE technique are placed in pre-opened channels in the spilled area. In the sapphire technique, the channels where the grafts will be placed are opened with sapphire-tipped blades. There is no scientifically proven difference between steel-tipped or sapphire-tipped knives. The choice depends entirely on the hair surgeon’s technique.
