What does the Sapphire FUE hair graft method involve?
Sapphire FUE hair implantation is an aesthetic hair surgery performed to thicken thinning or bald areas.
Unlike the old FUT technique, Sapphire FUE uses a micro-punch method to extract grafts, leaving no scar. ( See full dossier )
First, the technique involves extracting implants from a donor area (the occipital area of the scalp). Then inserting them one by one into micro-channels. These are previously opened using a natural sapphire blade in the recipient area (area affected by baldness).
Each patient must be diagnosed to determine whether they can opt for this FUE hair method. Indeed, your general state of health must be compatible with this baldness treatment to undergo it. That is why Klineva provides all patients with a free, personalised Saphir FUE diagnosis.

Advantages of Sapphire FUE vs DHI: What are the differences in 2025?
Sapphire FUE offers advantages that have made this hair graft technique popular in recent years. For example, the rigidity of sapphire blades used with the FUE hair technique allows greater precision in opening micro-channels.
Side effects such as swelling are much less frequent with the Sapphire FUE technique than with other methods.
Compared to the DHI technique, FUE allows implanting a larger quantity of grafts.
The FUE technique is also more affordable than DHI treatment. Equipment used for DHI has a higher cost that affects the overall surgery budget.
The sapphire blade offers extremely fine incisions and thus excellent hair density.
What are the disadvantages of the Sapphire FUE graft?
During Sapphire FUE hair graft surgery, shaving the donor area is mandatory. Whereas this is not necessary with the DHI method.
People with long hair, women in particular, are likely to prefer a solution that requires no shaving.Sapphire FUE is therefore simpler to consider for people with short hair. Another drawback of Sapphire FUE is that its recovery period is less rapid compared to the DHI methodDHI vs Sapphire FUE therefore offers a significant time saving.
In summary, if you need coverage of completely bald areas, the Sapphire FUE technique is the best solution for you.
As you will have understood, the choice between Sapphire FUE or DHI depends on several factors. These two hair implant techniques are indicated based on each patient's case. During Sapphire FUE hair graft surgery, shaving the donor area is mandatory, whereas it is not necessary with the DHI method.
What should be considered before an FUE hair transplant?
he surgeon and medical team will give you all necessary details about how to prepare for the hair transplantation. A preoperative consultation (virtual and in-person) is therefore scheduled to allow the practitioner to answer all the patient's questions. This process is particularly important to minimize the risk of complications that may occur during and after surgery.
Sapphire FUE requires stopping tobacco and alcohol consumption a few weeks before and after the hair graft. Because these two habits can negatively affect recovery time and damage the grafts.
Indeed, this increases bleeding risk during the operation; you must also be careful not to use anticoagulants before surgery and avoid consuming herbal supplements like green tea, which has an anticoagulant effect.
We provide all our recommendations pre & post-operative in a document to be followed scrupulously for the best possible hair transplant results.
How does a Sapphire FUE graft proceed?
Once the surgeon has determined during a consultation that you are eligible for Sapphire FUE hair graft, they will provide you with information regarding the surgical procedure.
On the day of the operation, the Klineva team and patient will discuss several details such as the area where the hair graft will be performed, the number of grafts to implant, determination of the donor area, and desired aesthetic appearance.
