Sapphire hair transplant has become a more popular and preferred method in many cases due to the fact that the results are natural looking which most of the hair transplant aspirants globally prefer. This relatively new method relies on the FUE technique, which itself allows for natural results. However, when FUE is combined with the sapphire stone pin technique, it is possible to record less tissue damage because the natural stone pin creates minuscule channels, which are exactly the size of a graft with 0.6 mm incisions.
The biggest advantage of using a sapphire stone pin is that it can be used on narrow areas of the scalp. It allows more precision, and the v shape pin made from graphite sapphire stone doesn’t cause any injuries to the surrounding tissues or increase the chances of infection. The hair growth direction and optimum density can be controlled with this method, and most of the top hair transplant surgeons worldwide prefer the sapphire method to do the implants. Clients with metal allergies can now undergo the hair transplant method easily without fear of infection in any area of the scalp. The sapphire stone pin v shape allows the surgeon to create compact incisions, implant follicles very close to each other to create high density, and position them in a suitable manner. The major difference between Sapphire hair transplant and basic FUE is the shape of the micro-channels created by the surgeon with the help of the optimum sharp v-shaped sapphire stone pins, which gives the entire method the optimum precision and accuracy with zero errors. Since the sapphire graphite stone is quite pricy and availability is rare, there are only a few companies manufacturing it and limited supply across the world, highest usage of sapphire stone pins for implants is recorded in Turkey, and recently, since the last couple of years, they have been used in India by a couple of companies with a chain of clinics. Among them, the regular user is Max Hair Clinic in South India, which offers competitive pricing for the Sapphire method compared to Turkish clinics.
