Los Angeles Beard Hair to Head Transplantation Using UGraft : Advanced FUE hair transplant performed using the UGraft protocol by Dr Umar with beard hair is also different from the process of extracting hair from the scalp because of the greater leniency of working with facial skin. The texture of beard hair is coarser than scalp hair and it does not change to assume head hair characteristics. Thus you should rely on an experienced surgeon to determine the best way to utilize your beard hair to optimal ends.
Los Angeles Beard Hair to Head Transplantation Using UGraft
The technique by which Dr. Umar transplants beard hair, UGraft is his advanced version of the procedure commonly referred to as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). UGraft is knife-free, and the protocol has enabled the transfer of hair from the back of the head, body, and beard to the balding areas of the head. This method is significant because it enables the transplantation of body and facial hair (BHT) as well as head hair, which increases the donor hair supply and thus gives hope for many severely bald patients in need of hair transplant repair or additional hair transplants.
In addition, Dr. Umar has found the application of body and beard to hair to be also very useful for the treatment of hair transplant reparations. Dr. Umar has found that beard hair derived grafts are a valuable resource in repairing patients with widened strip scars resulting from follicular unit hair transplantation (FUT) . By grafting these scars with beard hair, their appearance is minimized.

The crown is often sacrificed by traditional hair transplants using head hair donor only. Patients are often not satisfied with having a bald crown. UGraft FUE makes the use of non head donors a viable option. These pictures show how beard hair alone was used by Dr. Umar to restore the crown while saving the traditional head donor area for the restoration of the frontal areas.
