Dr. Welter earned his medical degree at the University of Oklahoma and his Doctorate in Biochemistry and Molecular biology at Oklahoma State University. He completed his Residency at Brown University where he remained a clinical Associate Professor in Medicine until 2019.
In 2005 Dr. Welter specialized in hair restoration and founded the New England Center for Hair Restoration which has become a leading center for hair restoration surgery in the United States. He pioneered the use of microFUE using sub-millimeter punches to extract individual follicles with precision minimal trauma increasing harvest yields and resulting in better transplant outcomes.
Dr. Welter was one of the first adopters of cellular therapy for hair with the use of activated platelet rich plasma in 2006 to stimulate hair growth for both men and women. And in 2011 he began the use of stromal vascular fraction treatment for hair loss using autologous derived stem cells to stimulate the follicular niche to progress to anagen (essentially getting weaker hairs to strengthen to protect them from further hair loss). This approach to hair loss continues to be researched and applied clinically today with increasing promise.
