Your eyebrow hairs grow from the follicle at a sharp angle, so unlike the hairs on your head, your eyebrow hair is growing flat against the surface of your skin. The growth cycle of your eyebrow hair is also far shorter than that of the hairs of your scalp – about four months, as compared to three to seven years. Unlike your scalp hair, your eyebrow hairs grow as individual strands; there are no follicular groups of hairs in a bunch that can be moved from one area to another. Typically, 50 to 325 hairs are individually moved into the brow during the procedure, another reason a skilled surgeon is needed to perform this delicate task. The hairs must be perfectly placed into tiny incisions that are at just the right angle and direction to mimic natural growth.

Follicular Unit Extraction is an excellent approach for eyebrow restoration, because it involves transplanting individual strands of hair from another part of your body to your eyebrow area, leaving no visible scarring. The new hair will look a little different from your original eyebrows and have a different growth rate, but over time it will begin to mimic your existing eyebrow hair.

The procedure usually takes two hours and is done while you are under a mild sedative.

Using Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), a minimally invasive procedure that does away with outdated approaches to hair transplant by providing a true solution instead of an illusion of restored hair. No scalpels, strip mining or stitches are used in this approach, which leaves the patient free of scars and on the path back to self-esteem.

Through FUE, donor hair is moved in natural follicle groupings one at a time from the donor areas anywhere on the head, face or body to the restoration area, leaving a natural look with full coverage and no scarring. Transplanted hairs begin to take root and grow continuously over your lifetime. It also gives you maximum flexibility to express your personal style; hair restored with FUE can be comfortably worn short or long.

This approach is a great advance over the traditional strip surgery, which usually requires cutting strips of flesh from the back and side of the head, resulting in a linear scar that can widen overtime, and forcing you to continually find ways to hide it. The older method also limits the donor supply to 5,000-7,000 hair follicles, a huge waste.

Typically, there are no signs of surgery within a week of the Follicular Unit Extraction procedure.

Dr. Umar is a pioneer in FUE, which was first documented in medical reports by Rassman and Bernstein in 2005. If you are someone who is suffering from continuous hair loss due to a previous hair transplant, or have scarring from a failed transplant effort, you may be someone who is caught in the vicious cycle of traditional strip surgery hair transplants. It’s time to look into other options.

Using Follicular Unit Extraction, hair follicles can be removed from the beard or elsewhere on the body one at a time, and used to restore hair to balding areas on your head. All of your body hair can be used in this method – your chest, back, stomach area, legs, arms, armpit and pubic areas. It is a great technique to use in cases where there’s not enough donor hair on the head available for transplant. With this innovative procedure, even the most severely bald individual can have a full head of hair restored.

As you seek options for your hair transplant needs, it is critical that you do your research to ensure that the doctor you select is qualified. Follicular Unit Extraction is a surgical procedure demanding delicacy and skill, and must be done by an experienced, licensed medical doctor. It’s also important that you find a doctor who will cater to your needs and make you feel as comfortable as possible.

Therefore, though intensive research and hearing recommendations, the patient decided that Dr. Umar was the best choice of hair surgeon to perform the repair of his past hair transplants. He wanted his hairline softened and the shape and direction streamlined to his taste. The aim was to achieve a subtle but evident change in the hairline. He also wanted hair density added to his mid scalp area.

Dr. Umar performed 3,000 grafts upon the patient using the FUE-BHT method under the Single Follicle Extraction and Transfer (SFET) hair restoration technique.

The breakdown of the donor sources were as follows:

Head donor: 1293

Nape: 597

Lower abdomen and upper pubic areas: 1115

This procedure highlights the importance of the aesthetic and artistic expertise of the hair restoration facility and hair restoration surgeon you choose. Hair transplantation depends heavily on medical science and is its own way is a form of art. The results this patient achieved also highlight the role of nape hair in the refinement of hairlines. The utilization of nape hair as donor hair is something that the hair restoration community has neglected since its inceptions, leading to entrenched paradigms that are not always evidence based. The front of a thinning hairline should be very soft, and this softness is rarely achievable by using traditional head donor hair, which are usually thicker and less ideal for the task even if they are single hair follicles, and thus they tend to create an artificial solid line of hair which could look harsh and artificial in real life. Therefore, the soft texture of nape hair makes it the most effective form of donor hair to create the most natural looking hairline. This makes it ideal for the creation of softer looking hairlines, while avoiding the harsh artificial look that is often the result of hairline transplants done by traditional methods.

Dr. Umar makes it possible for hairlines to be reconstructed with nape hair though his process of SFET-FUE-BHT because FUE Hair Transplant avoids the problem of creating a linear scar, which is the main issue that results from strip surgery.

Shawn thought he was a “lost cause” when he came to Dr. Umar for help. He had his first hair transplant 14 years ago at age 19, back when most surgeons were using older methods such as punch grafts. He was left with disfiguring scars that could be spotted from more than 50 yards away, and, desperate to fit in with his peer group, he had taken to wearing a toupee. He even started gluing hair on his head every month.

It was, he said, the darkest period of his life.

Shawn came to Dr. Umar after hearing about the body hair transplant option. He had no donor hair left on his scalp, but but he did have a moderate amount of hair on his body. Hopeful, he decided to check out this new procedure, Follicular Unit Extraction.

Dr. Umar transplanted about 4,800 grafts of hair from Shawn’s body to his scalp. New hair growth began in about four months, much to Shawn’s delight. He was left with no visible signs of surgery, and without pain. His life has been transformed, and he is thrilled.

“The procedure itself was not painful, and the healing has been remarkable,” he said.

Shawn is but one of many worst case scenarios who found relief through Dr. Umar’s expertise.

Reversal of gray hair: After

For the first time in history, a surgery which caused the reversal of graying following transplantation of gray chest hair to the head was performed by Dr. Umar in Los Angeles. Dr. Umar transplanted 3,000 gray and dark body hair to the patient’s head and observed darkening of the transplanted area at 7 months. Next Dr. Umar selected only gray hair from a defined area of the chest and transplanted 1354 of these to the bald crown. At 20 months Dr. Umar observed predominantly dark hair growth in transplanted area of the crown.

Changing the milieu of follicles by hair transplantation could result in the reversal of senescent canities. This occurrence suggests a relationship between the hair follicle (donor) and its skin microenvironment (recipient). This may be a reflection of a contribution by the recipient in the signal pathways that determine pigment dilution in hair. Overall, the patient had 6000 body hair transplanted from the thighs, chest, abdomen to his hairline, and to the remaining NW 6 area. The result of his body hair transplantation (BHT) procedure is shown at over 1 year after his last surgery. He is happy with his result.

Body hair is an excellent filler for use in between naturally thinning hair as well as for donor hair supply for hair transplantations. Back in 2005, Dr. Umar first observed the toppik like filler effect of BHT. Body hair is also an effective method to use to refine the hairline. BHT is a breakthrough in hair transplantation as patients with limited donor hair from their scalp can now look into using their body and beard hair for additional donor hair supply. It is the only hope at restoration for such patients pending the advent of cell based hair cloning or hair multiplication methods. Dr. Umar is the top BHT hair restoration surgeon in the world, and he has performed surgeries that produced results that other clinic or doctor have written off as impossible.

Using Follicular Unit Extraction, Dr. Umar transplanted 600 grafts from the patient’s chest to the balding areas of his shins. The patient was pleased to have his balding areas finally hidden, and relieved that his new look meant he no longer had to worry about people assuming his legs were balding due to a poor health condition.

The process by which Dr. Umar performs head hair transplantation is linear scar free and is called the Single Follicle Extraction and Transfer (SFET), or the “Umar Procedure,” which is a more advanced version of the FUE procedure. With SFET – FUE, hairs are removed from the back and sides of the head one at a time, leaving very tiny punch wounds that heal to leave no cosmetically significant signs of scarring within a few days of the surgery. Therefore, the results that FUE-SFET produces will enable the patient to be able to sport a crew cut since no scar will be present! Such a hair transplant using Dr. Umar’s procedure is unprecedented and highly popular.

In conclusion, “The Umar Procedure” or single follicle extraction and transfer (SFET) is a state-of-the-art hair restoration procedure performed by Dr. Sanusi Umar in Los Angeles at the DermHair Clinic, and results are superior, especially with its rapid healing rates and better overall yield and growth of transplanted hair follicles on the scalp. The Umar Procedure is a minimally invasive treatment that requires no scalpels, strip surgery or stitches. Scarring and downtime are minimized. Best of all, because the procedure allows for the use of body hair (body hair transplantation, or BHT), the number of transplantable hair is greatly increased. The newly transplanted hair follicles grow in a natural pattern from the first treatment. Typically, patients’ returns to a normal life immediately and many have no need to cover their head with a hat ever again.

Hair Loss Solutions

Having personally experienced the devastating consequences of a poor hair transplant and scarring after undergoing a surgery done on him as a resident physician, Dr. Umar set out to find a new linear scar free, knife free, and minimally invasive hair restoration solution. In order to accomplish this, he first compared the different procedures for hair restoration. He focused on alternatives to the painful surgery and limitations of traditional treatments for hair replacement. At that time, many alternative treatments were still in the developmental stages and were flawed, so he began to design a new, minimally invasive, hair transplant procedure. Dr. Umar has spent years focusing on the invention and design of tools and techniques which allowed him to develop a successful, knife-free, natural replacement for hair loss.

The result is “The Umar Procedure,” or single follicle extraction and transfer (SFET). This is a more advanced form of the procedure popularly known as Follicular unit Extraction (FUE). This state-of-the-art hair restoration 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 treatment that requires no scalpels, strip surgery or stitches. Scarring and downtime are minimized with SFET. Best of all, because the procedure allows for the use of body hair, it allows for the number of transplantable hair or donor supply to increase in availability, giving many hair loss victims new hope for Los Angeles hair restoration. The newly transplanted hair follicles grow in a natural pattern after the first treatment. SFET (a form of FUE) and Body Hair Transplant (BHT) as performed by Dr. Umar is a minimally invasive process that occurs in complete patient comfort. After the procedure, most patients would not require even ordinary over the counter pain killers. Depending on the size of the surgery, as many procedures can be scheduled over the course of several back to back work days. Typically, patients’ returns to a normal life immediately and many have no need to cover their head with a hat ever again. Dr. Umar is a pioneer in FUE, inventor of SFET, and the top BHT hair surgeon in the world.
