OC NeoGraft Hair Restoration Center, Orange County's first dedicated automated Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair restoration office using NeoGraft™, proudly announces its acquisition of Harvest Technologies Corporation’s SmartPreP2 technology for Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. The addition of PRP Therapy to OC NeoGraft Hair Restoration Center brings an advanced hair restoration treatment option for patients, especially female patients who would not consider hair surgery as an option for thinning hair or hair loss.

“PRP is the future for non-surgical based hair restoration for men and women. It utilizes the patient’s own healing cells and is a natural method to stimulate hair growth,” states Dr. Ken Williams of OC NeoGraft™. "PRP therapy will become the 'state-of-the-art technique' for the nonsurgical treatment of hair loss and thinning, especially in women who are not candidates for surgery. Most importantly, PRP is a natural method of stimulating hair cells to enter the growth stage of the hair cycle,” says Dr. Williams.

PRP therapy at OC NeoGraft Hair Restoration Center uses the new FDA approved device called SmartPrep 2 for harvesting PRP and autologous platelet concentrates. "PRP therapy is also used with other FDA approved medical treatments such as Minoxidil and DHT blockers for hair thinning and loss," says Dr. Williams. “As these new hair restoration technologies are available for patient use, OC NeoGraft is on the cutting edge of new science and technologies.”

Harvest Technologies SmartPrep 2™ redefines PRP systems by simultaneously delivering speed, flexibility, confidence, and dependable results, and by eliminating any variability. SmartPrep 2's latest innovations further expands and enhances the use of autologous bioactive proteins and optimizes the conditions for healing and hair growth.

PRP therapy with SmartPrep 2 benefits patient care and safety through:

* Technology - A revolutionary, self-calibrating, floating shelf technology automatically optimizes platelet recovery for every patient.

* Speed - Produces autologous platelet concentrate in less than 15 minutes.

* Flexibility - The system can process as little as 20 cc of whole blood for smaller applications in addition to larger volumes when needed.

* Confidence - The SmartPrep 2 system is the first system FDA cleared for the preparation of PRP which may help improve and help optimize conditions for healing and growth of hair follicles.
