Sapphire FUE Method

This method is the most advanced form of FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant, where channels are opened using a sapphire blade, the latest surgical tool in this field of medicine. It allows for the transplantation of up to 5,000 grafts, with each graft containing 1 to 3 hairs. Follicles are extracted individually under local anesthesia. The micro-extraction process is carried out with a micromotor tool, creating tiny incisions of 0.6 to 1 mm. The channels are opened by the physician to maintain a natural appearance and density of the hair, taking into account the angle and direction of growth.

At Dr. Art. Clinic, the VITA method is additionally applied to every hair transplant technique. In this approach, the grafts are placed in a special device, where they are exposed to a saline solution mixed with vitamins, minerals, and amino acids in the form of a cooling mist.

Advantages of the Sapphire FUE Method

  • The sapphire blade enables much more aesthetic and healthier results compared to traditional surgical blades, with smaller and smoother channels, leading to less tissue damage than in other transplant techniques.
  • Follicles can be implanted at precise angles, achieving a natural look.
  • The precision of the sapphire blade means channels are created to match the size of hair follicles, minimizing unnecessary discomfort.
  • Due to the relatively low swelling, recovery time is shorter than with a standard steel blade.

DHI Method

This method is most often used for women and individuals who prefer not to cut their hair, although it only allows for the transplantation of up to 3,500 grafts. Hair follicles are extracted from the donor tissue and then placed in an isotonic solution. Implantation is carried out using the Choi-Pen, which simultaneously creates the channel and inserts the follicle. Unlike the FUE method, the DHI technique does not require the prior creation of channels. This process happens simultaneously as the follicle is inserted into the balding area of the recipient tissue.

Advantages of the DHI Method:

  • The reduced number of incisions minimizes bleeding.
  • No need to shave the hair.
  • Significantly shorter recovery time.
