Hair loss can be frustrating, but the right treatment can bring back both your hair and your confidence. Sapphire Hair Transplant in Turkey is a modern FUE method that uses sapphire blades to open tiny channels on the scalp. The smaller, cleaner cuts let transplanted hairs sit at the correct angle and grow more naturally, with less visible scarring and quicker recovery. At Hestanbul, we combine this technique with tailored planning and aftercare.
In this guide, you’ll learn how the Sapphire Hair Transplant in Turkey works, who can benefit, how to prepare, what to expect before and after surgery, recovery tips, and why Hestanbul is a trusted choice for patients worldwide. Keep reading to see how this advanced method can help you restore your hair, and your confidence.
FUE Sapphire hair transplant is an advanced hair transplant technique that improves on the classic FUE method by using specially designed, V-shaped sapphire blades to create recipient site incisions. These blades are extremely hard and sharp, allowing for more precise, smaller, and cleaner incisions than steel blades, leading to reduced trauma, faster healing, less scarring, and a more natural-looking result with higher hair density.
The fundamental FUE technique of extracting and implanting individual follicular units remains the same. The key difference is the surgical instrument used for creating the recipient channels: FUE Sapphire uses sapphire blades for greater precision and less tissue trauma, while classic FUE uses steel micro-blades.
To get the best results, you should:
At Hestanbul, we always do a full check-up: donor area review, medical history, and a detailed consultation to make sure the procedure is right for you.
Good preparation helps your new hair grow well and keeps you safe. Here’s what to do:
Time Before Surgery | What to Do | Why It Matters |
4–2 weeks before | – Stop smoking and avoid alcohol. – Talk to your doctor about stopping blood-thinning medicines if you take any. | Helps with better blood flow and reduces bleeding risk. |
2 weeks before | – Stop herbal supplements like ginkgo that thin the blood. – Treat any scalp problems and use mild shampoo only. – Avoid harsh chemicals or dyes on your hair. | Protects your scalp and keeps it healthy for surgery. |
1 week before | – Cut down on coffee or green tea. – Sleep well and reduce stress. – Plan your hotel, transport, and translation help if needed. – Prepare loose, front-opening clothes for the surgery day. | Makes the surgery day easier and safer. |
On the day of surgery | – Wash your hair with mild shampoo only. – Eat a light breakfast; don’t come fasting. – Wear loose clothes that don’t touch your head when removed. | Keeps the scalp clean and protects the new grafts. |
At Hestanbul, we guide you through each step so you know exactly what to do before surgery.
Hestanbul’s full package supports you: pre-op consultation, transport, hotel, translation, and medical kit. They guide you through what to stop or take and ensure your body and scalp are ready.
Understanding the timeline helps set realistic expectations:
Time After Surgery | What You’ll See / Feel | Care Instructions |
Day 1-3 | Swelling, redness, minor pain, and numbness in the donor area. Tiny scabs form. | Keep head elevated during sleep. Use cold compresses (if suggested). Avoid touching grafts. Take prescribed meds. |
Week 1 | Scabbing, possible slight bleeding, tender donor area. Some soreness. | Gentle washing per clinic instructions; don’t pick scabs. Avoid sun exposure. Avoid heavy physical activity. |
Weeks 2-4 | Scabs gradually fall off. “Shock loss” (temporary shedding) may occur in transplanted hairs. | Gentle maintenance. Continue using protective hats. Follow all topical or oral meds if prescribed. |
Months 1-3 | Hair may look thin; growth begins around month 3. It may not yet match surrounding density. | Maintain scalp health, and avoid harsh styling. Follow nutrition and possibly use support treatments (PRP, nourishing shampoos). |
Months 4-9 | Gradual increase in density; texture improves. The hairline becomes more defined. | Normal activities, but still protect from sun. Continue follow-ups. |
12 months + | Full maturation: color, texture, and density more or less final. Depending on individual biology, it might continue small improvements. | Long-term care: lifestyle, nutrition, treatments to preserve non-transplanted hair. |
Hestanbul offers 1 year of aftercare, a medical kit, and PRP session in many packages.
