Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a method of extracting donor hair from the head and other donor areas, where individual follicular graft units are harvested directly a specific donor region, without the need for a a linear incision. The use of follicular unit extraction to harvest follicular units has been perfected by Dr. Umar. Using his own specially designed tools, Dr. Sanusi Umar is able to not only extract hair from the head areas, but from other body areas as well using the “Umar Procedure”. The Umar Procedure is a method that uses Single Follicle Unit Transfer, thereby taking each individual hair follicle out individually and transplanting it to almost guarantee a natural look for patients.
Follicular Unit Extraction is a method where hair grafts are taken directly from the scalp, rather than being microscopically dissected from a strip surgery where the entire skin and hair is removed, making a linear scar appear on the patients hair donor area.
Because FUE doesn’t leave any scarring, since it is a minimally invasive procedure, it allows for patients to use many hair styles, even those that have hair very short. The procedure is ideal for repair cases, especially for patients who had bad hair transplants from traditional strip harvesting or who have a very tight scalp.
