Umar Hair Procedures: Using Body Hair Transplant – BHT to revolutionize Hair Transplantation
Having personally experienced the devastating consequences of a poor hair transplant scarring in a surgery done on him as a resident physician, Dr. Umar set out to find a solution by first comparing different procedures for hair transplant and hair restoration.
He focused on alternatives to the painful surgery and limitations of traditional treatments for hair replacement and body hair transplantation… Many alternative treatments were still in the developmental stages and were flawed, so he began to design a new, minimally invasive, transplant procedure. Dr. Umar has spent years focusing on the invention and design of tools and techniques which allowed for the successful, knife-free, natural replacement for hair loss.
The result is “The Umar Procedure” for single follicle extraction and transfer (SFET), a scalpel-free hair transplant procedure.. This is a more advanced form of the transplant procedure popularly known as Follicular unit Extraction – FUE. This state-of-the-art FUE treatment results in rapid healing rates and better overall yield and growth of transplanted hair follicles on the scalp. The Umar Procedure is a minimally invasive FUE hair restoration treatment that requires no scalpels, strip surgery or stitches. Scarring and downtime are minimized. Best of all, because the transplant procedure allows for the use of body hair, the number of transplantable hair is greatly increased as a result of body hair inclusion. The newly transplanted hair follicles grow in a natural pattern from the first treatment. Typically, patients’ return to a normal life immediately and many have no need to cover their head with a hat ever again.

*The success of an all FUE type procedure is influenced largely by the integrity of the grafts extracted. In efforts to make FUE a production-line procedure, some clinics have resorted to using non licenced personnel to perform FUE graft extractions.
Unlike the strip method of surgery, every graft extraction by FUE is a surgical procedure and, in most parts of the United States, it is actually illegal for unlicensed personnel to perform FUE hair transplant surgery. Another mass production concept sees the introduction of machines that are used to virtually vacuum out the grafts, literally air drying the grafts to death in the hair restoration process. These vacuumed grafts are transported at high speeds through tubes leading to a receptacle. This traumatic journey through the tubes and desiccating effect of the vacuum can only be harmful to the integrity of the grafts risking viability in the hair transplant process.
Dr Umar subscribes to the philosophy that holds that all FUE extraction being a surgical procedure and at the central core of the success of the procedure should be wholly performed by a licensed physician or personnel licenced to perform surgery, and does not endorse the use of machines that work on the aforementioned principles. If you are a prospective hair restoration patient researching an FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) type procedures ask about the qualifications/licensure of the personnel extracting your grafts. Find out if vacuum integrated devices are used in the extraction process and whether grafts are transported through tubes at high speed. Be proactive.
Choosing to have a FUE hair restoration surgery is an important decision. You are on a journey to seek a treatment that will permantently alter your appearance for the rest of your life.
Therefore, it is crucial that you take the time to educate yourself about both, the fue hair transplant procedure and the physician who will perform the hair transplantation surgery. This will help to ensure that you have a safe procedure and that you achieve the best possible end result. This site contains detailed information on procedures such as FUE SFET transplantation and follicular unit extraction.
There are many causes of hair loss for men, and even women,, including disease, nutritional deficiency, hormone imbalance, and stress. However, the universally accepted most common cause is androgenetic alopecia. Alopecia is simply the medical term for hair loss. Androgenetic refers to the fact that both a genetic predisposition to balding, and the influence of androgens, or male hormones, play a part in this type of hair loss 3.
