What Is Ice Vita Safir FUE?

Ice Vita Safir FUE is a modern variation of the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique that combines two key innovations:

1. The use of sapphire-tipped blades for recipient site incisions
2. The application of cold storage technology (often referred to as “Ice Grafts” or “Ice Cell Therapy”) to preserve follicles before implantation

Together, these enhancements aim to increase graft survival, reduce scalp trauma, and promote faster, healthier hair regrowth.

How It Works

• Hair follicles are extracted individually from the donor area using FUE
• Before implantation, the grafts are stored in a chilled, nutrient-rich solution (Ice Vita) to minimize metabolic stress
• Sapphire blades are used to create recipient channels, allowing for smaller, smoother, and more precise incisions
• The grafts are then implanted one by one into the scalp

This combination reduces inflammation and enhances precision and density—especially in areas like the hairline.

Who It’s For

• Patients seeking maximized graft survival and fast healing
• Individuals with sensitive scalps or concerns about inflammation
• People looking for denser, natural-looking results, particularly in the front area
• Ideal for first-time transplant patients who want a premium, advanced experience

Benefits

• Sapphire blades allow for cleaner, finer incisions with minimal tissue trauma
• Cold storage improves graft preservation and regrowth potential
• Less swelling and redness compared to traditional FUE
• Often enables higher density implantation
• Accelerated healing and reduced scabbing in many cases

Limitations & Risks

• Typically more expensive than standard FUE
• The “Ice Vita” component is not universally standardized across clinics
• Clinical evidence is still evolving—benefits may be incremental, not dramatic
• As with all FUE methods, results rely heavily on surgeon skill and planning

Questions to Ask Your Clinic

• What temperature and solution are used in the Ice Vita preservation process?
• Are the sapphire blades single-use and sterilized?
• Is Ice Vita Safir FUE significantly better than standard FUE in your experience?
