Sapphire vs Titanium Blades in Hair Transplant: What Is the Difference?
Sapphire and titanium blades are both used to create recipient sites in hair transplant. Here is how they differ and why the surgeon matters more.
During a hair transplant, tiny openings are made in the scalp where the grafts will be placed. These are called recipient sites. Sapphire and titanium blades are two common tools used to create them.
Sapphire blades
Sapphire blades are made from a very hard, smooth crystal. They hold a fine, sharp edge, which allows small and precise incisions. This can help with dense packing and may support comfortable healing.
Titanium blades
Titanium blades are strong, reliable and widely used. In experienced hands they also give precise, natural results and can be suitable for many patients.
Which is better?
Neither blade guarantees a better result on its own. The outcome depends far more on the surgeon's planning, angle and direction of each site, graft handling and density design. The choice of blade is part of a wider plan made for your scalp.
