I have struggled with worsening Folliculitis Decalvans and massive Achne Keloidalis Nuchae (AKN), occupying over 1/3 of my scalp for 19 years. In that time, have attempted various excision, injections, laser, and cryotherapy treatments and procedures from several nationally recognized dermatologists to no avail. All of those procedures left me in worse condition than before.
Dr. Umar is the only medical practitioner who truly understands the nature of the disease, how it behaves,

He and his team were very professional. The vibration device and laughing gas makes the injections less painful. I can wear my hair very short now and you cannot tell. I would recommend anyone thinking about doing a procedure visit Dr Umar. I have my confidence back now. Thank you very much Dr Sanusi Umar!
I have had three procedures with him over the past decade - each as my original hair progressively was receding - and have overall had a very good experience with him. My hairline is thick and *no one* knows its a transplant. He is a pioneer in FUE and actually designed the follicle extraction machine used by most other doctors on the market. Any time I had an issue in a follow-up, he's been super responsive, and his prices are very reasonable in comparison to others that are

Dr.Umar and his staff was very competent and efficient throughout the entire operation and took care of all of my needs, before, during and after the operation. The entire operation lasted nearly a week but i am very happy with the results thus far and look to make a follow up review in the coming months.
