Los Angeles Hair Transplant Cosmetic Surgeon Corrects Bad Hair Transplants With New Hair Restoration Method

LOS ANGELES, March 8, 2010 - FineTouch Dermatology, Inc. announces the Body Hair Transplantation (BHT)
hair restoration method. This new method provides patients with the
opportunity to fix bad hair transplants damaged by traditional hair
restoration techniques.

This new and exciting option is now offered by Dr. Sanusi Umar, a Los
Angeles cosmetic surgeon and board certified dermatologist who is
internationally known for his incredible hair transplant surgery repairs. For
the past five years, Dr. Umar has used Body Hair Transplant to repair many
poor hair transplant cases, previously believed hopeless.

Prior to BHT, an advanced hair restoration method, poor hair restoration
procedures led to disfigurement and scarring. In many cases, this caused
mental anguish, social embarrassment and even pain. BHT involves the hair
transplantation of scalp and non-scalp body and beard hair to balding areas
of the head. Even severely bald individuals with prior poor hair surgery
outcomes and a depletion of traditional scalp donor hair can achieve a
cosmetically-acceptable restoration.

Conventional hair transplant methods involve the removal of flesh from
the back and sides of the head resulting in linear scars that wrap around the
back of the head from ear to ear; BHT is linear scar free and involves Single
Follicle Extraction and Transfer (SFET), or the "Umar Procedure" - a more
advanced version of Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE).

With SFET-FUE, hairs are transplanted in a natural manner, one at a time.
This hair restoration procedure is minimally invasive using a scalpel-free,
micro-surgical technique that allows hair to be removed from the head, face
and other parts of the body with no cosmetically-significant scarring.

This hair restoration procedure is permanent and results are realized
within approximately 12-18 months; follow-ups are minimal and patients are
typically released after one to two years.

One patient Dr. Umar helped had lost his donor hair supply after multiple
antiquated scalp hair restoration surgeries. He was not only left bald, but
also with several disfiguring scars. Prior surgeries included multiple scalp
reductions and strip and punch hair transplants, with the creation of
unnatural plugs in the frontal scalp and hairline. As a result, the patient
had ridging and pitting and his temples and half of his head were devoid of
hair.

Dr. Umar carried out the hair restoration repair at his Los Angeles
office using approximately 15,000 chest, stomach and shoulder hair grafts;
6,000 beard hair grafts; and about 1,000 head hair grafts. The results of
this hair restoration repair can be viewed by clicking here (YouTube).

A different patient, who underwent the Dr Umar's hair transplantation
repair procedure, explains that, "Although my prior odd appearance was not
career-limiting, I now feel like a new person. I cannot say how this
procedure would work on others, but as a patient and a physician, I felt like
I did my due diligence by approaching a terrific and committed physician -
Dr. Umar."

Dr. Umar adds that not everyone is an ideal candidate for this type of
hair restoration procedure using body hair. "Some people just do not have the
appropriate amount of body hair or may have unsuitable body hair
characteristics," says Dr. Umar.

provide sufficient coverage and repair to live my life normally and with a
lot of pride and self esteem. I have achieved those goals." The patient is

that had left him still bald, scarred and disfigured. He is shown after
undergoing Dr Umar's Single Follicle Extraction and Transfer (SFET) which is
linear scar free, enabling the effective transplantation of scalp, body and
beard hair to the head in some patients.)
