In this example, Dr Sanusi Umar uses Beard, Nape and Head hair by is SFET method to restore the crown (Using beard hair only) and refine the hairline (Using nape and head donor areas). After undergoing FUSS / FUHT / FUT at another clinic, the patient was still left with a bald crown and overly recessed hairline. Dr Umar uses non head hair (facial, body) in patients that have a relative or absolute lack of traditional donor sources ( back of the head). The use of body hair for transplantation is called body hair transplantation (BHT)

Traditional/regular hair transplant methods (often strip) rely solely on the transfer of hair from the sides and back of the head to the balding areas. The number of available hair by this method is limited to 5000-6000 (in most individuals). This number is not enough to compensate for the hair loss in severely bald individuals who often would have lost 25,000-50,000 follicles. When 5000-6000 follicles are used to make of for this loss as would be the case with traditional hair transplantation, the result is a very thin look. Alternatively traditional hair restoration surgeries have prioritized the front (called framing of the face). In this case the 5000 follicles are placed in the top and front 9often with a high receding hairline) while the top back (Crown) is left largely unaddressed. The severely bald individuals is thus compelled to settle for a bald pate (crown) and an aged higher hairline with the best traditional transplants can offer. At which point they would have run out of head donor and options.

Using the "Umar procedure", Dr Umar is able to expand the available donor supply by adding hair from the beard and body areas into the head donor pool. The result is that even severely bald individuals can be conceivably restored globally without sacrificing the crown or settling for an aged higher hairline. The boosted donor supply also implies a higher density than what can be achieved with fewer follicle. This is an option for severely bald individuals or those that are donor depleted until hair cloning cell based hair multiplication technology becomes available in the future.


Dr Umar performs BHT using a process he calls Single Follicle Extraction and Transfer (SFET) or Umar Procedure. SFET is his version of the procedure commonly referred to as Follicular Unit Extraction ( FUE ). The procedure is performed at his Redondo Beach office in California. DermHair Clinic is a division of FineTouch Dermatology Inc. Dr Umar is a fellowship trained cosmetic surgeon, and Certified dually by the American Boards of Dermatology and Internal Medicine respectively.

    no beard hair is the thickest, good for crown coverage

  • hairgrowing.blogspot.com

  • what would be the individual costs of the following procedures:

    1. a single session to widen and thicken the hair line and add futher coverage to the top of the head.

    2. to use a rough thousand facial hair grafts to treat the crown of the head

  • excellent result Dr. Umar.
