DermHair Hairline Transplant Patient

This patient is a NW 3 hair loss level, and he wanted a conservative start with hair restoration. Therefore, Dr. Umar used 1450 grafts derived from the nape and head donor area and transplanted the grafts to the hairline and frontal scalp. The patient states that his hair stylists all would not believe he has had a hair transplant. Dr. Umar was able to create such a natural looking hairline by transplanting hairs from the nape to the hairline.

The use of nape hair for the hairline is done by the extraction process of FUE by SFET, which contributes to making the hair transplant undetectable. One main reason that nape hair is efficient in creating a natural hairline is that nape hair is softer when compared to traditional head donor hairs. Thus, 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. The softness of the nape hair creates a most realistic NW2 hairline by hair transplantation. Hair transplants try to mimic a NW 2 hairline because NW 2 means that the hairline has thinned somewhat. A thinning hairline front should be very soft, and that softness is hardly achievable by using hair from the traditional head donor areas which are usually thicker and less ideal for the task even if they are single hair follicles, they tend to create an artificial solid line of hair which could look harsh and artificial in real life.

Sometimes patients cannot afford large numbers of grafts or repeated hair transplantation surgeries. It may also be that the patient lacks the donor hair supply because of their current physiology state or because previous hair restoration surgeries have depleted their donor supplies. However, a low number of follicles can be used to restore significant level of baldness. A skilled hair restoration surgeon would know how to create a natural look in this situation. FUE is a method that can be used to achieve this look because it avoids creating the result of linear scarring which is the main evidence of strip surgery.

FUE by SFET typically would leave a donor area that is clean and devoid of cosmetically significant scarring.  The key to creating natural hair lines in hair restoration is the use of soft hair in the very front of the hairline and temples. At the DermHair Clinic in Los Angeles, California, we have found this approach to be most effective. Dr Umar is able to achieve this by using his FUE hair transplantation method called SFET which enables the efficient use of nape hair in this manner. Such FUE results cannot be replicated with the older follicular unit strip surgery (FUSS) method. Veteran hair transplant patients report that at DermHair clinic, FUE hair transplant costs is affordable by California standards.
