19 Year Case of Severe Folliculitis and Massive AKN Treated
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,

I Can Wear My Hair Very Short Now - I Have My Confidence Back
Had a procedure done with Dr Umar and it was beyond my expectations. So much so I came back for a few more. He is really an artist with what he can do with the grafts. 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!

Gave Me my Hugh Jackman Hairline :)
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

Recently Visited Dr.Umar for a Procedure of 7500 Grafts
Recently visited Dr.Umars office for an operation of nearly 7500 grafts, the donor area was half beard donor hair and half hair from the back of my scalp. 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.
I Always Have a Good Experience with Dr.Umar
I've been going to Dr. Umar for a many years. The staff are friendly and knowledgable. Dr. Umar knows exactly what you want and what you need. He's expertise and professionalism is the reason why I will not go to another Dr simply because he's the best.
One of the World's Best Hair Transplant Surgeons, Right in LA!
I have been Dr. Umar's patient a few times. My most recent visit/procedure with Dr. Umar was in July, 2020. In my mind, Dr. Umar is one of the world's best surgeons and innovators when it comes to hair transplantation. I especially rely on him for his expertise and authority with respect to body hair transplantation; he has led the path with this technology. Also, he is always been very professional and ethical. His results speak for themselves. I trust him.
