Hey there! I had a similar experience with a Sapphire FUE procedure for 2500 grafts last year. Overall, I was happy with the results and the recovery process was smooth. The precision of the sapphire blades and the minimal scarring were definitely a plus.
However, I did notice some swelling and redness in the first few days post-op, which was a bit uncomfortable. Also, the cost was on the higher side compared to traditional FUE methods. In terms of results, it took about 8-12 months for me to see significant growth and thickness, so patience is key. But overall, I'm glad I went for it and would recommend it to others considering hair transplantation. Hope this helps!
