Dr. Scott Alexander

Dr. Scott Alexander is the founder and medical director of Biltmore Surgical Hair Restoration in Phoenix, Arizona 1. The clinic describes his practice as dedicated exclusively to treating hair loss in both men and women 4. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree and completed a general surgery residency before moving into hair restoration 1. His IAHRS profile states he trained in the lateral-slit technique and FUE under Dr. Alan Feller, along with further training in the lateral-slit technique with other physicians 4.

The clinic offers Follicular Unit Grafting (its term for FUT), FUE, and the ARTAS robotic system, alongside its lateral, or horizontal, slit technique for recipient sites 3. Per the clinic, lateral slits are cut with custom, chisel-shaped blades measuring 0.7mm to 0.9mm, narrower than the 1.5mm to 2.0mm blades it says many other offices use, and are angled to mimic surrounding hair rather than run vertically 3. The clinic states this approach lets it target 30 to 45 or more grafts per square centimeter 3. Its IAHRS profile adds that Dr. Alexander can create sites as small as 0.7mm, allowing up to 70 units per square centimeter 4. The clinic describes its hairline design as starting with single-hair units along the front zone before larger grafts fill in behind it for density 3. The clinic's IAHRS profile states that Dr. Alexander performs one procedure per day 4. Its own site adds that, drawing on his general surgery background, he treats every case as though it were a hospital operating room, using sterile gowns, gloves, and drapes for donor removal 1.

Cost figures are not published on the clinic's pages reviewed; it directs prospective patients to a free consultation instead 1. It does advertise a $500 travel credit toward ARTAS procedures for patients coming from outside the Phoenix area 3.

The clinic describes its consultations as private and says they include a digital folliscope evaluation 2.

The clinic states Dr. Alexander is a member of the American Hair Loss Association and the International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons 1. His IAHRS profile lists him as one of fewer than fifty hair transplant surgeons in North America recommended by the American Hair Loss Association 4.
