Micro FUE with Sapphire

Advanced Follicular Unit Extraction using sapphire blades for finer incisions, denser packing, and faster healing.

What Is Micro FUE with Sapphire?

Micro FUE with Sapphire is the most refined form of Follicular Unit Extraction. Individual follicles are harvested with micro-punches and implanted through ultra-fine channels opened with sapphire blades instead of steel. The smoother, sharper sapphire tip creates smaller, more precise incisions — allowing denser, more natural graft placement, less tissue trauma, reduced scabbing, and noticeably faster recovery.

Sapphire Precision

V-shaped sapphire blades open smaller, smoother channels than steel for tighter, more natural density.

Faster Healing

Smaller incisions mean less crusting, reduced swelling, and quicker recovery.

No Linear Scar

Micro-punch extraction leaves tiny dot scars that are virtually undetectable.

Maximum Survival

Minimal trauma to surrounding tissue protects blood supply and graft survival.

How It Works

The Micro FUE with Sapphire Procedure

Consultation & Hairline Design

Scalp analysis, graft count estimation, and age-appropriate hairline planning.

Donor Preparation

Donor zone trimmed and prepared. Local anaesthesia applied for full comfort.

Micro Extraction

Follicles harvested individually with a micro-punch (0.7–0.8mm) to preserve donor integrity.

Sapphire Channel Creation

Ultra-fine sapphire blades open precise channels at the correct angle, depth, and direction.

Graft Implantation

Each follicle placed carefully for dense, natural-looking coverage.

Post-Procedure Care

Detailed aftercare, medications, and a follow-up schedule provided before discharge.

Key Advantages

Denser, more natural packing of grafts
Smaller incisions and minimal scabbing
Faster healing than conventional steel FUE
Tiny, undetectable donor dot scars
High graft survival rate
Suitable for hairline, crown, and full scalp

Ideal Candidates

Patients seeking maximum density and a refined hairline
Those wanting the fastest possible FUE recovery
Men and women with stable pattern hair loss
Patients with sensitive scalps prone to scarring
Anyone who prefers no linear scar

Recovery

What to Expect After Treatment

Day 1–3

Rest at home. Avoid touching or washing the transplanted area. Sleep elevated.

Week 1

First gentle wash. Tiny scabs form and begin to clear faster than standard FUE.

Week 2–3

Scabs gone. Transplanted hair may shed (shock loss — expected and temporary).

Month 3–6

New hair begins to emerge. Density steadily improves.

Month 12–18

Full, mature results with natural density and texture.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes sapphire blades better? +

Sapphire blades are smoother and sharper than steel, creating smaller, more precise channels. This allows denser graft placement, less tissue trauma, and faster healing.

How many grafts can be done in one session? +

A typical Micro FUE Sapphire session ranges from 2,000 to 4,500 grafts depending on your hair loss and donor capacity.

Is it more painful than normal FUE? +

No. It is performed under local anaesthesia and the smaller incisions usually mean less post-operative discomfort and swelling.

When will I see results? +

Initial growth appears around 3–4 months, with significant density by 8–12 months and full results at 12–18 months.
