FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) Hair Transplant
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant is one of the most advanced and popular hair restoration techniques available in the UK today. This minimally invasive procedure involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area usually the back or sides of the scalp and transplanting them into thinning or bald areas. FUE hair transplants offer natural-looking results, fast recovery, and minimal scarring, making it an ideal choice for patients seeking long-lasting hair restoration.
Phases of FUE Hair Transplant
- Extraction
Using a precision micro motor device, individual hair follicles are carefully extracted from the donor area. Unlike traditional methods, FUE does not leave a linear scar, allowing for a quicker recovery and a more discreet donor site. - Channel Opening
Tiny incisions are made in the recipient area, where the harvested grafts will be implanted. The angle, direction, and depth of these channels are carefully designed to mimic natural hair growth patterns, ensuring a full and natural-looking hairline. - Transplantation
The extracted hair follicles are placed into the prepared channels following the natural direction of hair growth. This meticulous placement ensures seamless integration, density, and natural aesthetic results.
New Era in Hair Transplant: Sapphire FUE
Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant is an advanced enhancement of the traditional FUE technique. The main innovation lies in the use of ultra-sharp sapphire blades instead of conventional steel during the channel opening phase. These sapphire blades allow for finer, more precise incisions, which improves overall results and healing.
Key Benefits of Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant
Faster Healing: Less tissue trauma allows for quicker recovery compared to standard FUE.
Higher Hair Density: Precise incisions help achieve fuller and more natural-looking results.
Reduced Risk of Complications: Lower chances of scarring and scalp trauma.
- Better Hair Direction Control: Enables accurate placement for natural hair angles and a seamless hairline.
While the extraction and implantation phases remain the same as standard FUE, the sapphire blade innovation significantly improves precision, comfort, and the final aesthetic outcome.
Why Choose Sapphire FUE in the UK?
Sapphire FUE is ideal for patients seeking the latest hair transplant technology with superior results, minimal scarring, and a faster recovery. This technique ensures your hair restoration looks completely natural and long-lasting.

Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant Aftercare
Hair transplant patients can generally continue their daily lives, but it is important to handle the scalp carefully. Protecting your scalp from extreme heat and harsh chemicals during the recovery period is essential. Some patients may experience small red spots on the scalp for a few weeks after the procedure, but these gradually disappear over time.
After the procedure, shedding of the transplanted hair follicles is normal. This natural process encourages the growth of stronger, healthier hair, so patients should not worry about initial hair loss. Sapphire FUE results usually begin to appear around three months and can take up to a year to see the full effect. The new hair is as durable as your existing hair, though factors such as aging and personal care can affect its lifespan. With proper care, your hair will continue to grow vigorously.

Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant – FAQ
What is Special About the Sapphire Technique?
The sapphire technique uses sharp and strong sapphire blades. The channels are opened with great precision in a V-shape. It has antiseptic properties that promote a short healing process.
Is a Sapphire Hair Transplant Suitable for Me?
The sapphire method is primarily suitable for people with medium to thick hair. If your hair has these characteristics, the results will be excellent. Our doctor will provide you with all the details during your personal consultation.
Is One Session Enough to Achieve the Desired Results?
A single procedure is usually required to achieve the desired results, but this, of course, depends on the condition of the donor and recipient areas. Your personal hair analysis will determine whether a single session is sufficient for you.
Is shedding period after hair transplant normal?
Post-hair transplant hair loss is common in the weeks and months after surgery. It happens when grafts enter the telogen (resting) phase, usually around 2 weeks post-op. After shedding, hair re-enters the anagen (growth) phase and starts growing back permanently.
How many grafts can be transplanted in a single session?
Depending on individual needs and donor availability, between 1,500 and over 5,000 grafts can typically be transplanted in a single session.
What is the maximum number of grafts that can be transplanted per cm²?
60-80 Grafts per cm² |
How long does an operation take?
Usually, it takes between 6 and 8 hours.
