Felix Haircare
How hair transplants actually work: the difference between FUE, DHI and FUT, who they suit, and the year-long wait for the result to grow in.

Read this before you act on anything here. Felix Haircare is patient education about hair restoration, and it has real limits.

This is not medical advice

Everything on this site is general information about FUE, DHI and FUT and the medicines around them. It is not personalised medical advice and it is not a treatment plan. It cannot take account of your scalp, your donor supply, your health or your pattern of loss.

Results are not guaranteed

Graft numbers, density and growth timelines are given as ranges because outcomes genuinely vary from person to person. A transplant can thin, fail to take fully, or heal differently than hoped. Nothing here promises a particular result, and no figure on this site should be read as one you are owed.

My experience is a story, not a template

I write from my own FUE procedure. That is one head, one surgeon, one recovery. What worked, hurt, or healed for me is not a guide to what will happen to you. Please do not treat my story as instructions.

No doctor-patient relationship

Reading this site, emailing me, or having a page reviewed by our surgeon does not make anyone here your clinician. Our medical reviewer checks the content for accuracy; he does not assess you and is not treating you.

This is real surgery

FUE, DHI and FUT are surgical procedures. They involve incisions, anaesthetic, bleeding, swelling, scarring, and a risk of infection or of a result you are unhappy with. FUT leaves a linear donor scar; FUE leaves many small ones. Medicines such as finasteride and minoxidil carry their own side effects. Treat all of it as the medical decision it is.

Emergencies

If something goes wrong after a procedure, heavy bleeding, spreading redness, fever, severe pain or signs of infection, do not wait and do not email me. Contact your surgeon or clinic, call your local emergency number, or go to your nearest emergency department.

Always consult a professional

Before you decide anything about a transplant or a hair-loss medicine, speak to a qualified hair-restoration surgeon or doctor who can examine you in person. Use this site to ask better questions, never to replace that advice.
