Sapphire FUE hair transplant in Hair Clinic

Sapphire FUE hair transplant at Hair Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey, uses specialized gemstone blades to create precise channels for hair follicles. The clinic is known for its oxygen-enriched treatment and has helped over 20,000+ patients since 2014. Hair Clinic received the Mood Award for Best Hair Transplant Clinic in both 2018 and 2019.

Advanced Sapphire FUE Technology

The Sapphire FUE method involves extracting individual hair follicles and placing them into tiny incisions made with sapphire blades. These blades allow for higher density and more natural-looking hair growth. During the extraction phase, which takes about 45–60 minutes, follicles are kept intact. The team stores these grafts in a nutrient-rich solution to keep them healthy before implantation. The entire procedure usually lasts between 5 and 7 hours depending on how many grafts you need.

Comfort and Recovery Features

This clinic is the only facility in Turkey providing oxygenated hair transplants using the Comfort-in Device. This oxygen therapy helps speed up the healing process, reducing the typical recovery time from 15 days down to around 9 days. For those who dislike needles, the clinic uses needle-free local anesthesia. This method uses a silicone-tipped device and a spray technique to numb the scalp comfortably. Because the surgery is an outpatient procedure, you can return to your hotel or home the same day.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Your journey starts with a free hair analysis and blood tests to check your health. The medical team draws your new hairline and takes photos for your records before shaving the area. While local anesthesia is standard, you can also choose sedation for extra relaxation. The clinic operates within A Plus Hospital, providing a professional medical environment for every patient. The reported success rate for these transplants at this facility is 99%.

Aftercare and Results

Following the surgery, you should take at least 2 days off work. Most people return to their normal jobs within a few days. You must wash your hair gently for one week and perform a final wash to remove crusts after seven days. New hair growth typically starts around 3 months, with final results visible about 1 year after the procedure. To protect the new grafts, avoid machine shaving the donor area for 4 weeks. You can trim the transplanted hair with scissors after one month, but do not use a razor on that area for at least 3 months. The clinic recommends using a conditioning shampoo like Curegen during this time. To learn more about this procedure, you can leave a request on Bookimed.
