    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

    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.

    I don’t know where I should start

    I don’t know where I should start, first of all I was really spectacle about a hair transplant in general. Whether it was from clinic centre or anywhere else, but let me reassure you that clinic centre is the best one to go to from them all. It’s been 6-7 months now and my hair that has grown from the front is unbelievable I never had no hair here. Honestly the best team you can ask for when going for such an operation. Thanks for the help from the team and honestly I couldn’t thank you enough, I finally have hair!!

    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.

    We invite you to browse our Sapphire FUE hair transplant reviews and before-and-after gallery to see some of the most aesthetically pleasing transformations. A hair transplant in London can be a highly effective step toward your personal transformation.

    Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant Recovery

    By taking proper care of your newly transplanted hair, you can ensure its lifelong growth.

    Some numbness may occur after the procedure, which usually lasts 2-3 days. Within 15 days, you may notice only mild redness on your scalp, and your appearance will gradually return to normal. The donor area typically heals after a month.

    You can view monthly pictures of a patient’s recovery process from the beginning up to the 6th month to track progress and results.

    So, how long does it take for hair to grow after a transplant?

    📌 7 Days Post-Operative: Numbness and mild swelling may occur, but this usually resolves within a week.

    📌 10 Days Post-Operative: Small scabs or red spots on the scalp begin to disappear.

    📌 2 Weeks Post-Operative: While mild itching may persist, there will be no visible scarring or marks. No special care is required at this stage.

    📌 1 Month Post-Operative: The newly transplanted hair begins to fall out; This is a normal and healthy part of the process. After shedding, the hair begins to regrow.

    📌 4 Months Post-Operative: The transplanted hair grows approximately 4-6 cm, appears denser, and any persistent itching subsides.

    📌 6-12 Months Post-Operative: Concerns about density are normal between 5-6 months. The final results thicker, fuller hair appear after about a year, validating the investment you’ve made in the procedure.

    Concerns like “It’s been 5 months since my hair transplant, and my hair still isn’t dense enough” are normal. The final results usually appear after a year. Your appearance after one year will demonstrate that this journey was truly worthwhile.

    We understand that hair transplant needs vary greatly. That’s why we offer specialized services, including women’s hair transplant treatments designed to address the unique patterns of hair loss in women.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Depending on individual needs and donor availability, between 1,500 and over 5,000 grafts can typically be transplanted in a single session.

    60-80 Grafts per cm²

    Usually, it takes between 6 and 8 hours.
