FUE Sapphire Hair Transplant
Advanced channel preparation with sapphire tip technology for dense and natural results.
At Rehaira, we perform FUE Sapphire to deliver highly precise, natural-looking results, especially for patients with extensive hair loss. Although commonly referred to as a transplant method, it’s important to note that FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is actually the technique used to extract hair follicles.
In almost all modern hair transplants, including DHI and Sapphire, the extraction phase is performed using FUE. The “Sapphire” part refers to the implantation phase, where channels are prepared with sapphire tip technology for enhanced precision, faster healing, and optimal density.
What is FUE Sapphire?
FUE Sapphire is a hair transplantation approach that combines the FUE extraction method with sapphire tip technology during channel preparation.
The sapphire tips create smoother, more precise channels, reducing tissue trauma and allowing for higher graft density. This also accelerates healing and ensures minimal to no visible scarring once the area recovers.
While the extraction of follicles is the same as in other techniques, the sapphire technology makes a significant difference in the implantation stage by improving accuracy, direction, and depth control.
Who Is It For?
FUE Sapphire is ideal for individuals who:
-
Have completely bald areas that require maximum coverage
-
Need a high number of grafts transplanted in a single session
-
Want a dense, natural-looking result with well-planned angles and directions
-
Prefer a method that allows for faster recovery and no visible scarring after healing
Our medical team will determine your suitability during the consultation, evaluating donor capacity, scalp condition, hair type, and your design goals.

How It Works – Step by Step
Consultation & Planning
Detailed scalp analysis, donor capacity measurement, and customized hairline or coverage design.
Anesthesia Application
Local anesthesia is administered, with sedation available if needed for patient comfort.
FUE Extraction
Hair follicles are individually extracted from the donor area using a micro punch (typically 0.6–0.9 mm in diameter).
Sapphire Channel Preparation
Sapphire tip instruments are used to prepare precise and smooth channels in the recipient area, minimizing tissue trauma.
Implantation
Follicles are placed into the prepared channels with controlled angle, depth, and direction for natural results.
Post-Procedure Wash & Aftercare
The first wash is performed at the clinic the following day, followed by detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing.
Recovery Timeline
Day 1–3: First wash at clinic, return to light daily activities
Week 2: Shedding may begin, which is normal and temporary
Month 1: Shock loss phase ends
Month 3–6: Visible regrowth begins
Month 12: Final results are fully visible

Frequently Asked Questions
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is the method used to extract hair follicles one by one from the donor area. Sapphire refers to the implantation stage, where channels are prepared using sapphire-tip instruments. This allows smoother, more precise channel creation, enabling higher density and faster healing.
In both techniques, follicles are extracted using FUE. In FUE Sapphire, sapphire-tip tools are used to prepare channels before placing the grafts, which is ideal for covering larger, completely bald areas with high density. In DHI, follicles are implanted directly with an implanter pen without pre-opening channels, making it better suited for adding density between existing hair.
No. The channels prepared with sapphire tips are very fine, and once healed, they leave no visible scars.
FUE Sapphire is best suited for patients with completely bald areas who want maximum coverage and natural-looking density. It is also recommended for those seeking large-scale restoration in a single session.
Most patients return to light daily activities within 2 to 3 days. Crusting typically resolves within a week, and healing is generally smooth and comfortable.
In a single session, 3,000–4,000 grafts are typically implanted. In suitable cases, with a larger and well-coordinated medical team, it is possible to reach over 5,000 follicles.
Initial growth starts around 3 to 4 months after the procedure. Noticeable improvement is seen by 6 to 9 months, with full results after 12 months.
Yes. The transplanted follicles are taken from the donor area, which is resistant to hair loss, ensuring long-lasting and natural results.
