Hair transplantation has evolved significantly over the past decade. Among the most refined methods is the Sapphire FUE hair transplant, which combines precision, minimal trauma, and natural results. This technique has gained global recognition — especially in Turkey, a hub for medical tourism.
Sapphire FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a minimally invasive hair restoration technique that uses sapphire-tipped blades instead of traditional steel. These ultra-sharp tools allow surgeons to create micro-incisions in the recipient area with unparalleled precision, enhancing the outcome in terms of density, recovery, and natural appearance.
At Hairmedico, Dr. Arslan Musbeh starts every procedure with a detailed scalp analysis. Your new hairline is designed based on your facial structure, age, and ethnicity — a key step in achieving natural-looking results.
Healthy follicles are extracted individually from the donor zone, usually at the back of the scalp. These hairs are genetically resistant to balding and will grow permanently in their new location.
This is the defining step. Unlike conventional FUE, sapphire blades allow for smaller, cleaner incisions, reducing scalp trauma and enabling denser graft placement.
Follicles are implanted one by one, following the natural angle and direction of your existing hair, ensuring a seamless and thick result.
Patients receive detailed post-op guidance, along with care kits and follow-up appointments to monitor growth.

The micro-incisions made with sapphire blades allow for precise control of graft angles, creating a soft and realistic hairline.
Since the blades are finer, more grafts can be packed into a smaller area — ideal for those looking for maximum coverage.
The clean nature of sapphire incisions leads to faster wound healing, less post-op inflammation, and nearly invisible scars.
Sapphire has antibacterial properties, which reduces the risk of infection and promotes safer healing compared to steel blades.
| Feature | Classic FUE | Sapphire FUE |
|---|---|---|
| Blade Material | Steel | Sapphire Crystal |
| Incision Size | Larger | Smaller & Cleaner |
| Healing Time | 7–10 Days | 5–7 Days |
| Graft Density | Moderate | High |
| Scarring | Visible micro-scars | Virtually Invisible |
