Dr. Sanusi Umar, known as Dr. U, is the founder of DermHair Clinic and a pioneer in hair transplant surgery. He is certified by the American Board of Dermatology and previously by the American Board of Internal Medicine. Additionally, he completed a fellowship in cosmetic surgery under the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. Dr. U’s residency training in dermatology took place in Los Angeles, where he now serves as a clinical faculty member at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). A native of Nigeria, Dr. U obtained his medical degree from UniMaid College of Medical Sciences. His initial residency in Internal Medicine was at the Nassau University Medical Center in East Meadow, New York, where his work in infectious disease garnered significant recognition, including a first-place award from the Long Island Infectious Diseases fellows’ competition and invitations to present and chair sessions at International AIDS conferences in Geneva and Durban.

Driven by his advanced training, passion for research, and interest in natural hair restoration processes, Dr. U embarked on a quest to revolutionize hair transplant surgery. After personally experiencing the devastating consequences of a botched hair transplant, he dedicated himself to finding better solutions for others. He began by comparing various hair restoration procedures in the United States and abroad, identifying the shortcomings and flaws of traditional methods. This led him to develop a new, minimally invasive FUE hair transplant procedure, which has since set new standards in the field. Widely published and recognized for his innovative work, Dr. U continues to lead the industry with his expertise and commitment to improving patient outcomes through advanced hair restoration techniques.
