Sapphire FUE is a variation of the FUE technique. It involves the use of a sapphire-tipped punch to remove hair follicles from the donor area. The sapphire tip is harder than the metal used in traditional FUE punches, which allows for a more precise and efficient extraction of the hair follicles. Sapphire FUE also causes less trauma to the scalp, which results in faster recovery and less pain. When comparing FUE and Sapphire FUE, it's important to note that Sapphire FUE is faster and less invasive than traditional FUE. It also causes less trauma to the scalp, which results in faster recovery and less pain. While Sapphire FUE has better results in terms of recovery, it's also more expensive than traditional FUE.
