Hey there! I had a similar experience with Sapphire FUE for 2500 grafts last year. The procedure itself was pretty smooth and I was able to go back to work after a couple of days. The healing process took about a week for me, with some redness and swelling initially but nothing too major.
In terms of results, I started seeing new hair growth around 3-4 months post-op, and by the 9-month mark, I was really happy with how my hair was looking. The cost for me was around $5,000, and I had my procedure done at a reputable clinic in Istanbul. Overall, I'm pleased with my decision to go for the Sapphire FUE, but just make sure to do your research and choose a skilled and experienced surgeon. Good luck with your journey!
