Since the hair in the 4-finger section behind the two ears is not sensitive to the DHT hormone, hair loss is not seen in these parts. Hair loss is mostly seen in the front and top parts. This is male pattern shedding. This type of hair loss can also be seen in some women. For this reason, the hair follicles transplanted during hair transplantation are taken from the back and sides of the hair. Since the roots are collected from the area that is coded not to fall out from birth, the transplanted hair does not shed until it dies when the correct procedure is applied.

Anyone who is between the ages of 20-60 can have a hair transplant operation. However, it should be known that the genetic male pattern shedding usually lasts to the age of 35. Then it either stops or decreases. In some people, hair loss begins at the age of 15-16, and at the age of 18, the front and top of the hair are completely lost. In such cases, the planting process can be brought forward. Burns, accidents and scars from surgery are also factors for hair transplantation at an early age.

Sapphire tip hair transplantation is done by transplanting the hair follicles taken from the donor area one by one into V-shaped incisions opened with sapphire tipped blades to the area to be treated. In FUE operations, a special sapphire tip is used instead of the metal slit used to open channels during hair transplantation. Hair transplantation with this tip is not a technique, it is an innovation used in the FUE method. With FUE, which is performed with a sapphire tip, more frequent planting can be done compared to the slit method. Opening the channels at a micro level minimizes tissue deformation and reduces crusting, so the scalp heals quickly after the application and no visible scars are left.

It takes about 4-8 hours. The duration may vary depending on the number of grafts the person needs.
