Hair Loss Level:

NW 2-3 with a previous strip hair transplant from another clinic.

Surgery:

1500 grafts by follicular unit extraction (FUE) using SFET

This patient is one of several men and women of Asian descent that Dr Umar has worked on using the knife free follicular unit extraction method. Dr Umar finds that asian hair is one of the simplest to extract using the follicular unit extraction method called SFET. He also determined that Asian hair is typically thick compared to other races. Thus following hair restoration surgery the transplanted hairline tends to have a harsh artificial quality. Dr Umar solves this problem by utilizing softer hair from the nape areas. With this approach, Dr. Umar’s Asian hair transplants have consistently come out most natural often to the astonishment of the patient. Dr Umar sees a lot of Asian patients at his practice in Los Angles California, and his patients have traveled from away places such as Japan, Taiwan, to Orange County, San Francisco bay area and San Jose.
