What is Sapphire Hair Transplantation in Turkey?
Sapphire hair transplantation is an efficient type of FUE technique that works the same way. The procedure is similar to a traditional FUE hair transplantation. The hair follicles are extracted from the donor area and transplanted to the recipient part of the scalp using sapphire blades, which are made of synthetic sapphire.
The use of sapphire blades is known to offer a number of benefits over traditional steel blades, such as less tissue trauma, faster recovery time, and more precise incisions for a more natural-looking result. The sapphire blades are smoother and sharper than traditional steel blades.
The process of sapphire hair transplantation in Turkey generally takes several hours to complete, and the patients can return to their normal routines within a few days. The results of the procedure can take several months to become completely visible, but patients can expect to see an improvement in their hairline and overall hair density.
What is the Sapphire Hair Transplantation Price in Turkey?
Turkey has gained popularity in hair transplant procedures due to the excellent medical services offered by experienced and qualified surgeons at accredited clinics and hospitals at reasonable costs. Compared to the UK, US, or other countries, your cost will be about a third lower.
The price of a sapphire FUE hair transplant in Turkey can differ based on several variables, including the degree of hair loss, the number of hair follicles to be transplanted, the clinic’s location, and the surgeon’s level of skill. In general, the cost of sapphire hair transplantation in Turkey ranges from £1,800 to £3,000. This price can generally include the procedure, preoperative and postoperative tests and medications, accommodation, transportation, and follow-up appointments.

Sapphire Blade in Turkey
A sapphire blade in hair transplantation refers to a special type of blade made of a single crystal that is known for its hardness and perfection, and that is used to make little incisions in the scalp. The use of sapphire blades provides perfection, delicacy, and thickness to the incisions, leading to better results and a faster recovery.
Sapphire blades are a fairly new invention in hair transplantation, and they are used primarily in the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) system of hair transplant surgery.
Eligibility for a Sapphire Hair Transplant in Turkey
In general, most people who are suffering from hair loss or baldness may be considered eligible for a Sapphire FUE hair transplant procedure. During your consultation with your hair transplant surgeon in Turkey, the surgeon will evaluate your case to determine whether you are suitable for the procedure. You should also inform your surgeon in detail about your medical history and the medications you take regularly to prevent any complications.
The important points to be taken into account while deciding on a sapphire hair transplant are listed below.
- Patients with androgenic or traction alopecia—the baldness caused by scars and burns—are suitable for a sapphire FUE hair transplant.

- This therapy is most beneficial for those who have recently started experiencing hair loss.

- Blood-thinning specifics such as aspirin or herbal supplements can increase the risk of bleeding during and after the operation. You should avoid taking these medications at least two weeks before the surgery.
- A balanced and healthy diet is essential to promote healing and boost your immune system. You should consume a plenitude of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to prepare your body for surgery.
By following these steps, you can ensure a successful sapphire FUE hair transplantation and achieve optimal results.
- It is essential to rest and limit physical activities for a few days.
- Do not touch or scratch this area, as it may dislodge the implanted hair
- Cover the transplant area from direct sunlight for at least a month. Exposure to the sun can damage delicate hair follicles and cause scarring.
