Dr. Rosanelli and his dedicated and experienced staff of 10 full time medical technicians perform regular sessions of high quality follicular unit hair transplant surgery up to 3000 grafts when appropriate for the patient.  Whereas he has the experience and staff to do even larger sessions, Dr. Rosanelli believes that sessions under 3000 grafts provide his patients with optimal graft survival and growth.  

Dr. Rosanelli is dedicated to continuously improving his practice and he has attended almost all major international meetings on hair replacement surgery since 1986.  He also does not charge for the initial consultation he personally gives and his pricing is modest.

Dr. Rosanelli’s experienced staff dissects and carefully trims all follicular units under microscopes, placing them into tiny recipient sites as small as .8mm to maximize hair growth yield and minimize trauma to the scalp.  Dr. Rosanelli creates parallel (sagital) incisions in order to mimic natural hair direction.  He believes this allows him to slide in and out and between existing hairs much easier and eliminates the need for shaving the recipient area.

Dr. Rosanelli uses state of the art tools to excise the donor area to minimize the risk of damaging hair follicles and uses a double layer closure to reduce wound tension and the appearance of the donor scar.  Though Dr. Rosanelli believes the trichophytic closure technique is the “gold standard” for producing the finest scar, he believes this technique is best reserved for the last surgery.  Reserving the trichophytic closure technique for the final procedure allows him to maximize the number of viable grafts for transplanting in subsequent sessions. 

Dr. Rosanelli is member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) and is a board certified diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS). Dr. Rosanelli is also a member and was the former president of the American Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ASHRS) and is a fellow of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS).
