FUE Hair Transplant with Dr. Wise at the Wise Institute for Hair Restoration
Hair Loss Help
After extraction, the hair follicles are carefully transplanted to areas experiencing hair loss or thinning. These grafting sessions are designed to restore lost hair or enhance a thinning hairline, with each follicular unit meticulously placed where regrowth is needed. As the least invasive hair restoration procedure, FUE offers a gentle and effective solution.
Dr. Wise's extensive training in Facial Plastic Surgery and Platelet Rich Plasma, combined with his unique aesthetic expertise, allows him to deliver exceptionally natural-looking results that seamlessly blend with the rest of the face. His patients appreciate this specialized approach, which is further enhanced by his ability to offer combined facial aesthetic surgery and hair restoration procedures.

Post-Operative Care
Following hair transplantation, The Wise Institute also offers 2 complimentary sessions of Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT) at our facility. Dr. Wise finds that these treatments accelerate the healing process, as well as the growth of newly transplanted hair. Gentle on the recently transplanted hair, and non-surgical, LLLT uses red, blue and near infrared wavelengths to facilitate hair growth for individuals who have undergone any hair restoration procedure. This non-invasive, painless therapy stimulates blood flow and oxygen to the scalp, promoting a healthier scalp and contributing to the healing process.
Every transplant procedure experiences some post-operative hair loss from shedding and the trauma of the surgery. At the Wise Institute, we provide ATPv solution to our patients to bring home with them immediately following the procedure. ATPv provides energy to the follicles during that critical 3-5 day period between the time they are harvested until they complete their reconnection to the scalps blood supply.

What is ATPv?
ATPv is a patented formulation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) encapsulated within nanometer-sized liposomes. ATP itself is the universal energy molecule for all living cells. The ATPv formulation allows cells to obtain ATP directly, even if they are isolated from blood or energy supply. The hair follicles that were harvested and transplanted into healthy scalp tissue must survive another 3-5 days while they connect to the scalp’s blood/oxygen supply which is why the Wise Center sends their patients home with the solution post-operation.
Recovery
Hair typically begins to grow back on the recipient sites within 3-4 months, looking natural and dense. Depending on the patient, recovery times vary, but are commonly fast. Follow-up procedures can be easily performed with the FUE technique because additional incisions are not required. The Wise Institute also offers PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Therapy, a non-surgical treatment option, combined with ACell to stimulate and increase blood flow to the head, in turn helping hair follicles grow healthily and quickly and is the only practice in Morris County and other areas of Northern New Jersey to offer the purest form of PRP which produces the highest quality results.
Recovery tips for hair restoration
For non-surgical hair restoration or maintenance:
- Hair Care: Use gentle shampoos and conditioners, and avoid tight hairstyles.
- Diet: Eat a balanced diet with hair-healthy nutrients.
- Topical Treatments: Follow product instructions.
- Scalp Massage: Promote circulation with gentle massages.

- Be Patient: Non-surgical methods may take time to show results.
Compare FUE To: FUT or Follicular Unit Transplantation
The main distinction between the two methods is the manner in which the hair follicles are extracted. FUT known as the “Strip Method” utilizes a linear piece of the scalp removed from the backside of the head to restore hair in balding areas rather than the graft by graft extraction technique used in FUE. While FUE is the least invasive option in hair restoration procedures, FUT is a surgical procedure that has other benefits.
