Dr. Craig Barton

Craig Barton is a board-certified physician who serves as Chief Medical Officer of AlviArmani International and Medical Director of AlviArmani Salt Lake City 1. Before hair restoration, his background included a degree in Chinese, fluency in Mandarin, and work in construction, landscape design and woodworking, which the clinic says shaped his sense of symmetry 1. The clinic describes him as a former AlviArmani patient 7. He trained in advanced FUE at AlviArmani Beverly Hills under the late Dr. Baubac Hayatdavoudi 1.

Barton practices Vitruvian FUE, the clinic's branded facial-ratio hairline-mapping technique, with no-shave options such as Executive Line and Executive Buzz 6. He performs Maximus FUE mega-sessions of 4,000 or more grafts for suitable candidates 1. The current bio page says he handles treatment design, harvesting and recipient-site creation and participates in implantation, with staff supporting graft preparation and placement 1. An older bio page instead says he performs all harvesting and incisions himself 2. Procedures use local anesthesia 7. Candidates must be at least 23 without a secondary cause of hair loss, and the clinic does not treat alopecia areata or trichotillomania 5.

The clinic's cost page quotes FUE typically ranging from $7,500 to $40,000 or more, though the same page elsewhere gives $12,000 as a starting price 3. A separate FAQ instead states $8,000 to $30,000 5; neither figure is stated as Barton-specific. AMP-T PRP is included with every procedure, and priced separately at $1,500 per session, with the clinic noting it is not FDA-approved for hair growth 3. Financing is available through CareCredit and an in-house AlviArmani plan, with qualified applicants eligible for a 12-month 0% interest program 3.

Consultations can be virtual or in person 1. The clinic says it can also assess candidacy from emailed photos without a full consultation 5. The initial consultation is typically run by a member of the AlviArmani team rather than Barton himself, covering candidacy, graft range, timing, recovery, pricing and risk; Barton then confirms the final surgical plan 1. Aftercare includes prescribed medications, a postoperative fluid, a recovery kit and donor-site ointment, plus an optional day-after wash and check-in 3.

AlviArmani's memberships page lists affiliations including IAHRS, the American Hair Loss Association, ASHRS, AACS, IAHTS, IAHCP and Aesthetic Everything at the clinic level, not as credentials held personally by Barton 4.
