At MHR Clinic on Dawson Street, Dublin, we offer Sapphire FUE hair transplants for men and women seeking treatment for hair loss. Each procedure is planned around your hairline, available donor hair and individual restoration goals.
FUE involves extracting individual follicular units from the donor area and transplanting them into areas affected by thinning or hair loss. With the Sapphire FUE technique, sapphire blades are used to create the small recipient incisions where the grafts are placed.
Your consultation allows our team to assess your suitability, discuss the coverage that may be achievable and explain the procedure, recovery and aftercare. Treatment recommendations and recovery times vary between individuals.

Knowing what to expect can help you feel more prepared for your Sapphire FUE hair transplant at MHR Clinic in Dublin. Our team will guide you through each stage and explain what is happening throughout the day.
Before treatment begins, we review your plan, confirm the areas being restored and discuss your proposed hairline where applicable. Local anaesthetic is used to numb the treatment areas, and you remain awake during the procedure.
Hair grafts are carefully extracted from the donor area and prepared for transplantation. Small recipient incisions are then created using sapphire blades, before the grafts are placed with attention to the planned coverage and natural direction of hair growth.
The length of your appointment depends on your individual treatment plan, with breaks during the day. Before you leave, you will receive clear aftercare instructions, details of your follow-up appointments and contact information for support during recovery.
Sapphire FUE takes its name from the sapphire blades used to create small recipient incisions in the areas being restored. These incisions provide the sites where the extracted hair grafts are placed.
The sapphire blades are used during the recipient-site stage, rather than to extract hair from the donor area. The procedure still follows the FUE method of collecting individual follicular units for transplantation.
Careful planning of the hairline, incision angles and graft placement helps determine the direction and distribution of the transplanted hair. The blade material is one part of this process; your donor hair, individual treatment plan and the clinical team’s technique also influence the outcome.
Your comfort is an important part of your hair transplant experience at MHR Clinic. Before treatment begins, our clinical team explains the anaesthetic process, answers your questions and helps you feel prepared for the day ahead.

Every hair transplant starts with an individual assessment. At MHR Clinic, we consider your pattern of hair loss, available donor hair and personal goals to help establish whether Sapphire FUE is suitable for you.
Your proposed hairline and coverage are planned around your facial features, existing hair and the potential for future hair loss. We discuss how the available donor hair can be used, balancing your priorities with what may realistically be achievable.
Your consultation also gives you time to ask questions about the procedure, recovery, costs and aftercare. Our aim is to help you understand the plan clearly and make an informed decision without pressure.
