Overview
What is Sapphire FUE?
Sapphire FUE is a refinement of the classic Follicular Unit Extraction technique in which the recipient channels are opened with blades made from real sapphire rather than steel. These ultra-sharp, smooth tips create more precise, V-shaped incisions that are smaller and cause less tissue trauma. The benefits are significant: grafts can be placed closer together for higher density, the angle and direction are more controllable for a natural hairline, scabbing is reduced and healing tends to be faster. The extraction stage is the same gentle, scarless FUE process. At Livist Medical, experienced surgeons combine sapphire blades with meticulous hairline design in accredited Istanbul clinics to deliver dense, undetectable, long-lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you want to know about Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant
Talk to a CoordinatorThe extraction is the same, but recipient channels are opened with sapphire blades, allowing finer incisions, higher density and faster healing.
Yes — the precision of sapphire blades makes it excellent for designing dense, natural-looking hairlines.
FUE leaves only tiny dot scars that fade and are not visible once healed, with no linear scar.
It is done under local anaesthesia and is generally comfortable, with only mild tenderness for a few days.
Transplanted hair sheds first, then grows steadily, with most of the result visible between nine and twelve months.
