Sapphire Blades – Another Progress in Hair Transplantation
Technological progress has created new ways to develop innovative hair transplantation methods. Over the years, the transplantation of one’s own hair has established itself as a minimally invasive surgical procedure. The FUE method, in which individual hair follicles are removed from the donor site and implanted in the bald region, is regarded as the most modern hair transplant technique and has made further progress using sapphire blades to open the canal.Difference between a sapphire needle and a classic titanium needle
In addition to the optimized hair follicle removal technique, which works with micro punches from 0.6 to 0.8 millimeters in diameter, the implantation technique is of utmost importance for hair transplants in Turkey. This is because the density, angle, and direction of the future hair growth are decisive for the new hair image.
These are the factors that produce a natural appearance. These prerequisites are decided by the construction of the channels, which then hold the extracted grafts. Therefore, the quality of the channels’ opening is one of the essential process steps for successful transplantation.
High hardness and abrasion resistance
While the finest steel blades are generally used to open and lay out the channels, the use of sapphire blades – a gemstone that is particularly hard and abrasion-resistant – has established itself as an innovative process for hair transplants in Istanbul. Sapphire blades are even finer and sharper than the classic steel versions. The channels that can be laid with these gemstone blades allow extremely narrow cutting widths. This allows more channels to be opened next to each other so that the hair follicles can be transplanted closer to each other. As a result, your hair will be much fuller and denser.
Narrow cuts produce denser hair
To ultimately ensure a natural appearance, the hair follicles must be transplanted with the exact angle and direction of hair growth taken into account. The natural angle of hair growth is 40-45 degrees. A steeper angle could increase the density, but at the same time lead to an unnatural appearance. Accordingly, the surgeons must find the optimal compromise between density and naturalness of the later hair growth.
