Sapphire FUE: Modern, Precise, But No Longer Our Choice
The Sapphire FUE technique was for many years one of the most widely used methods in hair transplantation. Many clinics still offer it today, and it was previously used here at Hairmony Clinic.
However, medical advancements have redefined the gold standard. With the introduction of the DHI method, hair implantation techniques became more precise, more natural-looking, and significantly gentler on the scalp.
That is why we now exclusively use the latest and most advanced technology for implanting your hair grafts.

Sapphire FUE: A Proven Method, But Outdated
Sapphire FUE was once considered a cutting-edge method for implanting hair follicles into the recipient area.
Thanks to its V-shaped sapphire blades, it offered more precise incisions compared to traditional steel tools, minimizing trauma to the scalp and promoting quicker recovery after surgery.
It produced solid and reliable outcomes. But today, the technique has been surpassed in every way by DHI.
- ✓ V-shaped incisions are made in the recipient area using a sapphire blade.
- ✓ Hair follicles are then inserted manually into the pre-opened channels.
Why We No Longer Use the Sapphire FUE Technique
Despite its success to date, the technique has reached its limits in several areas and is now considered technically outdated.
The procedure is more complex and places more stress on the tissue than necessary.
The channel opening and graft insertion are performed separately. This means more steps and more risk for the tissue on your scalp.
For us it is clear: if there is a better option, we will use it.
Looking Ahead: It’s Time for Progress
The Sapphire FUE hair transplant was an effective method, delivering solid and natural results. It was also used at Hairmony Clinic for a long time.
However, medical technology is always changing for the better. Today, there is a more efficient technique that is gentler on your scalp and allows even more precise graft placement.
That is why we now rely on DHI. It gives us more control, efficiency, and natural-looking results.
For us, one thing is clear: if a method is no longer state-of-the-art, we will no longer use it. Our goal is to offer you a treatment that not only works, but also impresses in every respect.
Everything You Need to Know
Find answers to the most common questions about hair transplantation, treatment planning, recovery and results at Hairmony Clinic.
01 How Much Does a Hair Transplant in Turkey Cost?
The cost depends on the number of grafts required, the selected technique, the donor area and the individual treatment plan. After reviewing your photos and hair-loss condition, our team can provide a personalized and transparent quotation.
02 How Many Grafts Do I Need?
The required number of grafts depends on the size of the thinning or bald areas, your donor capacity, hair characteristics and desired density. A medical assessment is necessary to estimate the appropriate graft number.
03 Does Transplanted Hair Turn Grey?
Transplanted follicles generally retain the natural characteristics of the donor hair. They may therefore become grey over time as part of the normal ageing process, just like the surrounding hair.
04 How Long Does Transplanted Hair Take to Grow?
Early growth commonly begins after several months. Results develop gradually as the follicles progress through their natural growth cycle, with more visible density developing over approximately 12 to 18 months.
05 Why Choose Turkey for a Hair Transplant?
Turkey has become a popular destination for international patients because of its experienced medical teams, modern clinics, established patient services and competitive treatment packages.
06 Is a Hair Transplant Permanent?
Transplanted follicles are usually selected from areas that are more resistant to hereditary hair loss. Results are intended to be long-lasting, although natural ageing and future loss of non-transplanted hair may still affect the overall appearance.
07 Am I Suitable for a Hair Transplant?
Suitability depends on your type of hair loss, donor-area quality, general health, age and expected results. Our specialists review these factors before recommending a treatment.
08 When Can I Return to Daily Activities?
Many patients return to light daily activities within a few days. Exercise, swimming, sun exposure and other activities should be resumed according to the specific aftercare instructions provided by the medical team.
