History of Sapphire FUE method:

1. 2000s: The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method was introduced in the early 2000s. It quickly gained popularity because it was less invasive than the traditional FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) method.

2. 2010s: The FUE method continued to develop with the advancement of technology. The development of thinner and more precise tools allowed the procedure to provide more efficient and natural results.

3. 2016-2017: The Sapphire FUE technique was first introduced around 2016-2017. In this method, sapphire blades began to be used instead of traditional steel blades for the channel opening process. Sapphire blades open smoother and thinner channels, making it easier to place grafts and making the hair transplant results look more natural.

4. 2018 and After: The Sapphire FUE method has become widely accepted in the field of hair transplantation. Many clinics have started to prefer and apply this method. The natural results and faster healing process provided by Sapphire FUE have increased the popularity of the method.

Today, Sapphire FUE is considered one of the most effective and modern techniques for hair transplantation.

Advantages ;

1. Natural Appearance:

- Sapphire blades open thinner and smoother channels, allowing grafts to be placed at natural angles. This creates a more natural and tight hairline.

2. Less Tissue Damage:

- The thin and sharpness of sapphire blades causes less damage to the tissue. This speeds up the healing process and minimizes possible scars after transplantation.

3. Faster Recovery Process:

- Since the channels opened with sapphire blades are smaller, the recovery process is shorter. This allows patients to return to their normal lives faster.

4. Less Risk of Infection:

- Using sapphire blades ensures that the channels are smoother and smoother, which reduces the risk of infection.

5. More Graft Placement Possibility:

- More frequent channels can be opened with sapphire blades, which allows more grafts to be placed, resulting in a denser hair appearance.

Disadvantages;

1. Higher Cost:

- Sapphire blades are more expensive in terms of production and use. Therefore, the Sapphire FUE method is more costly than the classical FUE method.

2. Long-Term Application Process:

- Since the channel opening process with sapphire blades is more delicate, the operation time may be longer than classical FUE.

3. Experienced Expert Requirement:

- The use of sapphire blades requires more precision than classical steel blades. Therefore, for this method to be successful, the specialist performing the application must be experienced. Undesirable results may occur in inexperienced hands.

4. Healing Process Requiring Sensitivity:

- Although the healing process after sapphire FUE is faster, patients need to pay close attention to the recommended instructions during the healing process. Improper care may lead to undesirable results.
