Sapphire FUE is an advanced version of the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique, designed to achieve even more natural results and faster healing. The main difference lies in the use of sapphire blades instead of traditional steel tools for creating recipient channels.
These ultra-sharp blades allow for greater precision, less tissue trauma, and higher graft survival rates. At Badge Health in Turkey, our surgeons use the latest sapphire technology to deliver outstanding outcomes for patients seeking permanent and natural hair restoration.
Very good staff!! Even the cleaner was lovely and supportive, I was quite scared as I came alone but they made you feel comfortable at all times! And asked if you needed anything a lot! I would definitely recommend badge clinic. I’ve been in very very little pain and the procedure ran very smoothly! 10/10

Just had Gastric Sleeve Surgery and a Gastric Band removal surgery completed on 24/05/24 by Prof. Dr. Cengis Eris at the hospital in Istanbul. From start to finish the entire Badge team have been nothing short of amazing. From pick up at the airport to your return back home they have been in contact and making sure I fully understand what is happening and what to expect. My Co-ordinator Nesrine has been amazing. I traveled by myself and was worried this was going to be too much but the team at Badge really take fantastic care of you. If you are debating if this is right thing to do or if this is the right place to have your surgery I can’t stress enough just how amazing and resasurred the team has made me feel. Although I’m only really a couple of days out and will see the results over the next coming weeks and months. I am relatively pain free and able to manage my normal activities which surprised me but shows just great they are at what they do.

I highly recommend Badge Clinic. From the beginning to the end they were really supportive! All nurses and doctors above and beyond professional. Me and my partner were treated like in 5 star hotel. I got much more than I expected. So happy to be here for my breast uplifting and enlargement. I wish to give them 10 out of 5 if I could. Really nice experience and I felt really safe. I just want to say thank you to all personel from a badge clinic!!

Badge clinic was amazing! I had nurses with me 24/7 who were there to help me understand what was happening during the procedure! Dr. Sarper was very kind and has done 100 liposuctions! He never made me feel uncomfortable and made sure I understood what was best for my body! Highly recommend!

I went to Turkey to get my new healthy Hollywood smile. Badge Clinic was recommended to me and my initial experience with Miray was very positive. On my arrival I met Nesrine – my medical coordinator. She took excellent care of my dental journey. She was professional, always available and ready to help me. Nesrine went above and beyond to assist me and I am forever grateful for her effort. I would recommend Badge Clinic to everyone. Their customer service and care are exceptional. Thank you Nesrine and Miray!

I would like to firstly thank aleyna , irem and Nesrine for all their amazing support help and although so friendly but very professional. They made me feel part of The Badge family .. I also want to thank wonderful surgeon Muhammad Eren Șimșek he has done amazing. Feel a million dollars no pain but perfection. My second time now at the Badge and I will most certainly be back. Again from the beginning in contact with admin to flights to the driver to the hotel.. everything runs so smoothly and the people are just gorgeous. I literally will miss them. I’m so happy with the whole process❤️❤️❤️❤️

I did the hair transplant. Everyone was super cool and nice. My Coordinator Nisrine walked me through all of the steps so I knew what to expect through the procedure and for my after care. The whole process they make sure you are comfortable and accommodated. The hotel they put you up at is really nice, the Free Breakfast Buffet is the BOMB and so is the room service menu. I had a nice stay and my procedure was as painless as possible. 10/10 Would recommend to a friend!

Amazing results for my lipo. I initially had my doubts as to how everything was going to turn out, but my goodness, has Dr Mete come through! I’m so pleased with my results and the body line I hadn’t seen in ages! Everything was taken care of from the arrival right down to the departure. The first day of my surgery, the nurses were available throughout the day and night. I had a hard time the first few days even getting up and about, but support was on hand and they came to check up on me several times. The hospital was very clean and the room was definitely of a high standard for a hospital room ( defo VIP like room). Only thing I would say is get ready to use a google translator on your phone as English is obviously second language understandably and go with your eyes open as the first few days felt like death to me (so take someone to help you unlike me as i went alone)but the results are well worth it! Thanks to the staff and Dr Metexx.

Nicole S.
My experience with badge clinic has been amazing. The help and support I received both before and in Istanbul has been flawless. My coordinator Enes has been very helpful and answered all my questions. While I was in Istanbul my Coordinator Nebia has been extremely pleasant and made me feel welcomed. My surgeon Dr Mete has done a great job and for once when he asked if I had any questions I was speechless. My experience thus far has been amazing and I would definitely recommend Badge Clinic.

5 stars 💫
I recently underwent a breast lift with implants and 360/back liposuction at Badge Clinic, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience.
First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude to Nurses Irem and Aleyna. Their friendliness and willingness to help made me feel at ease throughout my stay. Their professional care truly stood out.
A huge thank you to Dr. Mete for his incredible work. His expertise in performing my procedures was evident, and I am thrilled with the results after 3 days. His attention to detail and commitment to patient satisfaction are commendable.
I also want to thank Nesrine for her excellent organizational skills. She took care of everything, from coordinating my stay to managing transfers between the hotel and hospital, ensuring that everything ran smoothly.
The team at Badge Clinic is remarkably organized and dedicated to their patients’ well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend Badge Clinic to anyone considering these procedures.

I had a hair transplant a week ago and I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help me through the process than Badge Clinic. The transfers from the airport to the hotel to the clinic were great.

The crew was very helpful and informative. It’s clear that they want you to be as comfortable as possible throughout the process. The consultant is just one message away and fast in responding to your questions and every need. The surgery went well and I can’t wait to see the results. The transportation was also very precise and on time for every trip. 👍🏾

Sapphire FUE is a minimally invasive hair restoration method that involves extracting hair follicles individually and implanting them into recipient sites created with sapphire blades. The V-shaped sapphire tips enable more controlled incisions, allowing for denser and more natural-looking hairlines.
This technique is especially effective for:
Receding hairlines
High-density restoration in thinning areas
Patients seeking faster recovery
Natural-looking and seamless results
How is Sapphire FUE Performed?
The procedure follows these main steps:
Donor Area Preparation: Hair follicles are harvested one by one from the donor area (usually the back of the scalp).
Sapphire Blade Channel Creation: Using fine sapphire blades, the surgeon creates micro-channels in the recipient area with extreme precision.
Graft Implantation: Extracted follicles are placed into the channels at the correct angle and depth to mimic natural growth.
The sapphire blades reduce trauma, resulting in quicker recovery and higher graft survival. The procedure typically lasts 6–8 hours.
Advantages of Sapphire FUE
More precise incisions with sapphire blades
Higher graft density and natural appearance
Reduced bleeding and faster healing
Minimal scarring and discomfort
Long-lasting, natural-looking results
Suitable for men and women
Recovery After Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant
Patients usually experience minimal discomfort after Sapphire FUE. Redness and swelling are less compared to traditional FUE due to reduced tissue trauma.
2–3 days: Patients can return to work and light activities.
1 week: Redness and scabs usually heal.
3–4 months: Initial new hair growth begins.
6–12 months: Noticeable density and natural results.
With proper aftercare, Sapphire FUE delivers permanent results and a seamless, natural appearance.
Risks and Considerations
Sapphire FUE is a safe procedure, but minor risks such as temporary redness or swelling may occur. Choosing an experienced clinic like Badge Health ensures minimized risks and excellent outcomes.
