Hair loss may be common but your solution shouldn’t be. At Vatanmed, we offer Sapphire FUE, an advanced version of the traditional FUE technique in which sapphire-tipped blades are used instead of steel tools. This small change in instrumentation delivers major benefits in precision, healing, and transplant density. Whether you’re just beginning to notice thinning hair or have been dealing with hair loss for years, Sapphire FUE is a refined, next-generation solution with a shorter recovery time and impressive results.
Online ConsultationSapphire FUE is a modern enhancement of the classic Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method. While the core principles remain the same — extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area and transplanting them into thinning areas the key innovation is the use of sapphire blades during the channel-opening stage.
Unlike traditional steel blades, sapphire tips are harder, smoother, and more precise, allowing our surgeons to create micro-incisions with exactly controlled depth and angle for each graft. This results in higher implantation density, less scalp trauma, and a faster healing process. The outcome? Denser, more natural-looking hair with a shorter recovery time.
The main difference between Sapphire FUE and classic FUE lies in the type of blade used when creating the implantation channels. Sapphire blades:
At Vatanmed, we use sapphire blades to ensure the highest standard of precision and to create hairlines that not only regrow but also blend naturally with your facial features.
Every successful hair transplant begins with proper preparation. At Vatanmed, we perform a comprehensive assessment of your hair and scalp to determine whether the Sapphire FUE technique is the best option for you. After qualification, patients are asked to:
Avoid smoking and alcohol for at least one week before the procedure.
Stop taking blood-thinning medications or supplements under a doctor’s supervision.
Wash your hair thoroughly and arrive for the procedure with a clean scalp.
Avoid caffeine on the day of the procedure to help keep your blood pressure stable.
You will also be informed about the estimated number of grafts, the procedure timeline, and realistic expected results. A personalized treatment plan and a visual map of your future hairline are prepared, serving as precise guidelines during the procedure.
Local Anesthesia: Applied to both the donor and recipient areas to ensure a painless procedure.
Hair Follicle Extraction: Hair follicles are precisely harvested one by one using a micromotor system.
Graft Preservation: The grafts are placed in a nutrient-rich solution that maintains their viability and proper hydration.
Channel Creation Using Sapphire Blades: This is the stage where Sapphire FUE shows its greatest advantages. Ultra-thin sapphire blades allow for precise V-shaped incisions, minimizing tissue damage.
Graft Implantation: Hair follicles are implanted into the micro-channels with maximum density while preserving the natural growth angles.
Thanks to the use of sapphire blades, the healing process is usually faster and more comfortable than with FUE using steel blades. Most patients experience:
No linear scars or stitches
Mild swelling and scab formation for 3–5 days
A clean donor area that heals within 7–10 days
Shedding of transplanted hair (“shock loss”) within 2–4 weeks is a normal phase.
Visible growth of new hair begins around the 3rd month.
Final results become visible after 9–12 months.
Patients should avoid direct sun exposure, intense physical activity, and wearing hats or helmets during the first few weeks. Following a special hair-washing routine and the post-procedure care plan recommended by our clinic is crucial to protect the grafts and ensure optimal hair growth.
Individuals who value precision, high density, and minimal scarring
Those who want a naturally looking hairline with a short recovery time
Patients with a sufficient amount of hair in the donor area at the back or sides of the head
Both men and women with localized or patterned hair loss
Individuals who have tried topical or pharmacological treatments without the expected results

Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant Discover the Vatanmed Experience
I highly recommend the clinic in Warsawa. A professional approach from the very beginning to the end of the procedure, as well as care and follow-up contact afterward. I am 4 months after the transplant and my confidence has returned to the level it was when I had a nice, full, and dense hairline. After a bit of patience, the hair has grown and will continue to grow. I can definitely recommend both the procedure and the clinic.
I sincerely recommend the hair transplant procedure at Vatanmed Clinic. The staff are professional and helpful, with full on-site care. Special thanks to Ms. Lena, who treated me to her pancakes after the procedure :) The photo shows the condition of my hair 11 days after the transplant.
At VatanMed, I experienced the highest level of service and full professionalism.

The results exceeded my expectations the hair looks completely natural, and I receive lots of positive comments from people around me.
I underwent the procedure at VATANMED at the beginning of July 2025. The procedure lasted about 6 hours, and throughout that time I received full care from the clinic staff. Overall, I rate the procedure, the post-procedure care, and the contact with the clinic positively. The price of the procedure is very attractive compared to the competition. Nearly three weeks after the procedure, everything looks good :) I recommend it.
I wholeheartedly recommend Vatanmed Warsaw! From the very beginning, I felt I was in good hands. The service is at the highest level — professional, polite, and always ready to help. Every stage of the procedure was explained to me in detail, and the hair transplant itself went smoothly and without any problems.
I have already had my second hair transplant procedure, which was performed at the beginning of January. I remember both procedures very positively. The staff is kind and helpful. The specialist was highly involved in the hair transplant. Unfortunately, I still need to wait a few months for the final results. Greetings to the entire team and thank you for a smoothly performed procedure.
