01 / Felix opens the door
Small world. Big personalities.
The visible strand is one part of the story. Every follicle has a cycle.

This illustrated story has five chapters: meet Felix, look beneath the surface, meet Donor Dan, follow an illustrated placement sequence, and consider both the donor and recipient areas. Scroll normally, use the chapter buttons, skip to the guides or choose the still version. No wheel or touch gestures are intercepted.

02 / A finite supply
Big heart. Finite budget.
A transplant redistributes existing follicles. Planning considers the donor area as well as the area receiving hair.

01 / Meet the hair family
Growing. Pausing.
Taking five.
Hair has a cycle. These three have personalities.
Let them introduce the idea, then follow your questions deeper.
Anagen · Active growth
This is my
growing season.
Angie introduces the active growing phase. One follicle at a time, on its own schedule.
Catagen · Transition
Let’s wrap
this up.
Cal handles the short transition out of active growth. Quietly. With paperwork.
Telogen · Rest
On a break.
Not gone.
Telly makes a useful distinction: a resting follicle has not simply disappeared.
A character story, not literal anatomy. Watch each introduction when you choose. No autoplay.
A little plot twist
A resting follicle is…
What do you think?
You’ve met the family. Now see them in action.
So, how does a hair transplant actually work?
Come along with Felix and Donor Dan, from the back of your head to the front of the story.

An illustrated story, not a literal surgical demonstration or a promise of results. Dialogue captions start on; you can turn them off. A personal consultation puts these ideas in the context of your own care.

QUESTION 1 OF 4
Who is in the active growing phase?
Tap an answer. We’ll unpack it together.
Follicle
The structure within the skin that produces a hair shaft.
Anagen
The active growing phase. Angie’s specialty.
Catagen
A short transition out of active growth. Cal’s department.
Telogen
The resting phase. A resting follicle is not simply gone.
Exogen
The release and shedding of the old hair shaft. Shedding is not the same thing as the follicle being destroyed.
Graft
A small piece of transplanted tissue containing one or more follicles. A graft count and a hair count are not interchangeable.
Tap a term to open it. Follicles cycle on their own schedules, not in one synchronized wave.

Behind the characters, real people.
The next chapter
starts with you.
You bring the questions. We start there.
What have you noticed? What matters to you? What would make exploring this worthwhile?
There is room for curiosity, nerves and “I’m not sure yet.” A personal conversation helps connect the ideas here with your own situation.
Meet the people at Advanced ↗First, your story.
Start with what you want to understand or change. A graft count can wait.
Make the plan make sense.
Ask what fits, what does not, what it takes to maintain and what could change over time.
No small questions.
What happens next? Who will be there? What are you worried about? Put it on the table.
From the story world to real photographs.
The details deserve
a closer look.
Explore the supplied photo comparisons with the context that makes them useful.
A/B labels do not establish before-and-after order; Earlier/Later labels refer only to capture dates. Ask about the treatment context. Individual outcomes vary.

Explore the film room →02 / Felix introduces Donor Dan
“I’ve only got
so much to give.”
Big heart. Finite budget. Dan is here to make one idea stick: a transplant moves existing follicles. It doesn’t create an endless new supply.
What moves matters. What stays behind matters, too.

Felix makes it click.
Jack makes it real.
You’ve met the follicles. Now follow an actual procedure with Dr. Jon Mendelsohn, from planning the hairline to placing the grafts.
- 01 · The plan
- 02 · The donor area
- 03 · The placement
Immediate post-placement footage, not mature hair growth. Recovery, discomfort and results vary; future hair loss or additional treatment may remain relevant.
Dan checks the math
Grafts ≠ hairs.
A graft is a small piece of tissue. It can contain one or several hair follicles. A hair is the strand produced by a follicle.
So a quoted graft count and a hair count are not interchangeable. Ask which one you are being shown.
Count the tissue groups: 3 illustrative grafts.
In this example, 3 grafts contain 6 follicles, each shown with one hair shaft. Natural grouping varies. Illustration only, not a density target or predicted result.
Dan is thinking beyond today
Save something for the sequel.
Dan’s reminder: “Don’t forget to look at where we came from.”
Taking too much can leave lasting thinning or a patchy appearance where the grafts came from, including the back of the head. It can also limit the options for a future session. Spreading extractions out does not make an excessive harvest safe.
Questions for the actual team treating you
- Who examines and maps my donor area, and who performs each surgical step?
- What experience does this team have with hair like mine, and what medical supervision is in place?
- How have you assessed density, hair thickness, prior scars and possible future thinning at the back and sides?
- What will the donor area look like with my usual haircut, and what reserve are we protecting for later?
- Can I see donor-area before-and-after photographs after healing, with comparable hair length and views where available, alongside recipient-area results from appropriately consented cases?
- What is the plan if the donor supply cannot support my requested coverage, or if I need help after the procedure?
Evaluate the individual team, assessment and follow-up. A location, brand or high graft number cannot answer those questions on its own.
Dan’s other big point
Leave the neighborhood
looking like itself.
In FUE, the team plans where grafts come from as well as where they go. Concentrating removals in one patch can leave uneven coverage.
Tap between these abstract patterns. They show why distribution matters, not where or how many grafts should be removed from a person.
RemainingSelected
Spread out: the selected dots are distributed across this illustration.
Concept only, not a scalp map, spacing rule or safe harvest percentage. Even a spread-out harvest can remove too much. Density, hair caliber, existing scars and future loss all affect the plan.

Here’s the gear. The real conversation is what belongs in your plan.

Heard the buzz about exosomes?
Curiosity belongs here. Exosomes and copper peptides have their own research questions, evidence limits and regulatory considerations.
“Move it. Grow it.” is a working chapter title, not a promise of results. Suitability, outcomes and individual plans need a clinical conversation.
Hair changes. Life changes.
Hair changing?

A changing hairline. A wider part. More shedding. Start with what you have noticed.
Hair concerns can overlap with health, medications and life changes for women and men. The cause still deserves its own assessment.
