How the Procedure Is Performed
Consultation and assessment
Consultation with facial hair analysis
Sapphire FUE harvesting
The follicles are extracted from the donor area (occiput of the scalp) using sapphire micro-punch.
Graft selection
The selected grafts ideally contain 1 to 2 hairs for a natural beard appearance.
DHI implantation with the Choi pen
Implantation is performed with the Choi Stylo (DHI), which allows for precise control of the angle (25 to 35 degrees, the natural beard angle), depth, and direction of each follicle.
Direct implantation, no channels
No channels are created beforehand; the implantation is direct for maximum density.
Technologies and equipment used
FUE Saphir
Follicle extraction performed with sapphire blades, for fine micro-incisions.
