Procedure to Stimulate Follicles & Encourage New Hair Growth
Hair loss can be a distressing experience, potentially impacting both self-esteem and confidence. At Crown Clinic, we offer advanced hair restoration techniques that may help address hair loss concerns.
One of our premier treatments is the Sapphire Hair Transplant. This innovative procedure uses state-of-the-art technology to ensure optimal results for our patients.
What is Sapphire Hair Transplant?
Sapphire Hair Transplant is a cutting-edge hair restoration technique that utilises sapphire blades instead of traditional steel blades for the incision process. These sapphire blades, known for their smooth and durable properties, create smaller and more precise incisions compared to traditional methods.
This advanced hair transplant technique aims to enhance the precision and effectiveness of the hair transplant, potentially leading to improved results and faster recovery times.
By aiming to minimise tissue trauma, the sapphire hair transplant method may promote better healing and more natural hair growth, making it a consideration for individuals seeking hair transplantation surgery.
FUE Hair Transplantation Before & After
What Can the Treatment Be Used For?
Sapphire Hair Transplant may be considered for various types of hair loss, including:
- Male Pattern Baldness: The most common form of hair loss in men, characterised by a receding hairline and thinning on the crown.
- Female Pattern Baldness: Hair thinning predominantly on the top and crown of the scalp, affecting women’s hair density and volume.
- Thinning Hair: General hair thinning that can affect both men and women, leading to reduced hair density.
- Receding Hairlines: The gradual loss of hair along the hairline, creating an M-shaped hairline or an increasingly prominent forehead.
- Hair Loss Due to Trauma or Surgery: Hair loss caused by physical injury or surgical procedures, which can leave noticeable bald spots.
The sapphire FUE hair transplant method is suitable for these conditions due to its ability to precisely transplant individual hair follicles, ensuring a natural look and promoting consistent hair growth.
How Does the Sapphire Hair Transplant Procedure Work?
The Sapphire Hair Transplant procedure is a meticulously planned and executed process involving several key steps to ensure optimal results. Here’s a detailed look at how it works:
- Consultation and Planning: The journey begins with a thorough consultation with our hair transplant specialists.
During this session, your hair loss condition is assessed, and a personalised treatment plan is designed. This includes determining the donor area, estimating the number of hair follicles needed, and mapping out the recipient areas for the transplanted hair. - Extraction: Using the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique, hair follicles are carefully extracted from the donor area.
This method involves removing individual hair follicles, ensuring minimal damage to the surrounding tissue. FUE hair transplantation is known for its precision and effectiveness, making it a preferred choice for many patients. - Incision: This is where the Sapphire Hair Transplant stands out. Sapphire blades, renowned for their sharpness and durability, are used to create tiny, precise incisions in the recipient area.
These incisions are designed to be smaller and more accurate than those made with traditional steel blades, potentially resulting in less tissue damage and reduced scarring. The use of a sapphire blade may also promote a quicker healing process, potentially contributing to a more comfortable recovery for the patient. - Implantation: The extracted hair follicles are then carefully implanted into the incisions created by the sapphire blades.
This step requires a high level of skill and precision to ensure that each hair follicle is placed at the correct angle and depth, promoting natural-looking hair growth. The transplanted hair will begin to grow over the following months, leading to fuller and more aesthetically pleasing results.
How is it Different From FUE Hair Transplant and DHI Hair Transplant?
Understanding the differences between Sapphire Hair Transplant and other hair transplant techniques is crucial for making an informed decision:
- FUE Hair Transplant: Traditional FUE hair transplant uses steel blades for making incisions in the recipient area.
While effective, steel blades are less precise than sapphire blades, which can result in more tissue damage and scarring. The healing process may also be longer compared to the Sapphire Hair Transplant. - DHI Hair Transplant, Direct Hair Implantation (DHI): Another advanced technique where hair follicles are implanted directly using a specialised pen, bypassing the incision step.
- Sapphire Hair Transplant: This technique leverages the benefits of sapphire blades to create precise incisions with minimal tissue damage.
The use of sapphire blades in hair transplant surgery ensures that the new hair growth blends seamlessly with the existing hair, providing a more aesthetically pleasing outcome.

Who is a Good Candidate for
Sapphire Hair Transplant?
Not everyone is suitable for the Sapphire technique – at your initial consultation we will advise of the best treatment option for you. Ideal candidates for Sapphire Hair Transplant include individuals who:
- Are Experiencing Hair Loss or Thinning: This procedure is suitable for both men and women who are facing hair loss or thinning hair due to various reasons, including genetic factors, hormonal changes, or medical conditions.
- Have Sufficient Donor Hair in the Donor Area: Successful hair transplants rely on having enough healthy hair follicles in the donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp. These follicles are extracted and transplanted to the thinning or balding areas.
- Are in Good Overall Health: Candidates should be in good health to undergo the sapphire FUE procedure. Conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, heart diseases, or blood clotting disorders may affect eligibility for hair transplant surgery.
- Have Realistic Expectations About the Potential Results: It’s important for candidates to have a clear and realistic understanding of what the sapphire FUE technique may achieve. While the results can be significant, they may vary based on individual factors such as the extent of hair loss and the quality of the donor hair.
How Much Does a Sapphire Hair Transplant Cost?
The cost of a Sapphire Hair Transplant can vary depending on several factors, including the extent of hair loss and the number of grafts required. It’s best to schedule a consultation with our specialists to get a personalised quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the recovery time for a Sapphire Hair Transplant?
The recovery time for a Sapphire Hair Transplant is typically shorter than traditional hair transplant methods. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a week, though some minor swelling and redness may persist for a few days. It is recommended to avoid strenuous activities and direct sun exposure during the initial recovery period to ensure optimal healing.
How soon might I see results after a Sapphire Hair Transplant?
New hair growth is usually visible after 3 to 4 months after the procedure. Full results typically appear around 12 months post-procedure, with gradual improvement in hair density and coverage. It’s important to follow post-procedure care instructions to promote hair growth and aim for the best possible outcome.
Is the Sapphire Hair Transplant procedure painful?
For all our hair transplant procedures, regardless of the technique, FUE, DHI and Sapphire, local anaesthesia is used to ensure patient comfort, making the process relatively painless. Some discomfort may be experienced post-procedure, particularly in the donor and recipient areas. However, this discomfort is generally manageable with over-the-counter pain medication, and any soreness typically subsides within a few days.
How long does the Sapphire Hair Transplant procedure take?
The duration of the Sapphire Hair Transplant procedure depends on the number of grafts being transplanted, but it typically ranges from 4 to 8 hours. This includes the time needed for extraction, incision, and implantation of hair follicles. Patients are advised to plan for a full day at the clinic and arrange for a comfortable recovery period at home afterward.
Can women undergo Sapphire Hair Transplant?
Yes, Sapphire Hair Transplant is suitable for both men and women experiencing hair loss. Women can benefit from this advanced technique to address receding hairlines. The procedure is tailored to each individual’s needs, ensuring natural and satisfactory results for both genders.
