Is the Sapphire Channel Hair Transplantation Method or DHI Better ?

Although the aim of the two hair transplantation techniques is to ensure the most
healthy transfer of the roots collected from the donor area with the FUE method, one
technique can be more effective than the other according to the planning made from
time to time.
To explain briefly;
In the sapphire canal hair transplantation method, the hair directions can be given
more effectively since the hand never leaves the transplant area. While this sapphire
canal is the positive aspect of the hair transplantation method, the negative aspect of
the technique is that it can damage existing hair follicles due to the sharpness of the
sapphire tips used. If the hair loss problem is completely realized in the planned area
or if the existing hair follicles are thought to be shed in the near future, the sapphire
channel method will be effective because the hair directions can be given more
effectively.
The tips used in the DHI hair transplantation technique are not cutting but piercing
tips. Therefore, if there are hair follicles to be protected in the planned area, more
effective protection can be achieved compared to the sapphire canal method. While
this is the positive aspect of the DHI technique, since the implanter pens used are
disposable, the hand is separated from the transplant area in each transfer while the
hair directions are given, and therefore the unbalance of the hair directions is the
negative aspect of this technique. If there are hair follicles to be protected in the
planned area, the existing hair follicles can be protected more effectively with the DHI
hair transplantation technique.
