About Felix Health

Felix is a Canadian digital health platform trusted by over 1.5 million patients across Canada. Care is delivered entirely online: you complete an assessment, a Canadian-licensed practitioner reviews it and builds a treatment plan around your individual needs, and any prescribed treatment is delivered free to your door in discreet packaging.

For hair loss, Felix offers "clinically-proven hair loss solutions": you get a treatment plan complete with custom treatments for your specific needs, guided by Canadian-licensed practitioners, fully online with unlimited follow-ups, and free, discreet delivery to your door for all treatment options.

Felix frames this as treatment that gets to the root of hair loss — clinically-proven, practitioner-guided care fully online, with access to a range of options that can help stop hair loss and even regrow it, and free delivery to your door in discreet packaging for both prescription and non-prescription treatment.

Pattern hair loss is a good match for this model for two reasons. It is diagnosed visually and historically, which photographs handle adequately. And it is adherence-critical: a missed month is a real setback, so automatic delivery matters more here than in most categories.

Felix serves nine of the ten provinces. It does not currently serve Quebec, which is regulated separately through the Collège des médecins du Québec — Quebec residents should look at MyRocky instead.

  • Access a range of options that can help stop hair loss and even regrow it

Cons

  • Results take three to six months of consistent use, and stopping treatment reverses gains

How It Works

  1. 1.
    Submit your assessment and photos

    Pattern hair loss is diagnosed visually and historically, which an online assessment handles well.

  2. 2.
    A Canadian-licensed practitioner builds your plan

    You get a treatment plan complete with custom treatments for your specific needs.

  3. 3.
    Choose from prescription and non-prescription options

    Free delivery to your door applies to both. Combination therapy generally outperforms either treatment alone.

  4. 4.
    Treatment arrives discreetly

    Free, discreet delivery to your door for all treatment options.

  5. 5.
    Unlimited follow-ups

    Fully online, so the plan can be adjusted as your response becomes clear over the first year.

Who It's For

A good fit if…

  • You have pattern hair loss and want to start first-line treatment
  • You value automatic delivery, because adherence is what drives results here
  • You want unlimited follow-ups rather than a single prescription
  • You want both prescription and non-prescription options on one plan

Look elsewhere if…

  • Your hair loss is patchy, circular, or accompanied by scalp inflammation or scarring — that needs in-person assessment
  • You are a woman who is or may become pregnant — finasteride is contraindicated
  • You live in Quebec
  • You are not prepared for ongoing treatment — gains reverse within about a year of stopping

Frequently Asked Questions

What hair loss treatments does Felix offer?+
Felix provides access to a range of clinically-proven options that can help stop hair loss and even regrow it, covering both prescription and non-prescription treatment, with free delivery on all options.
How long before I see results?+
Most clinical evidence points to three to six months of consistent daily use before visible change, with fuller results at around twelve months. Increased shedding in the first few weeks is common and reflects follicles cycling into a new growth phase — it is not a sign treatment is failing.
What happens if I stop?+
This is maintenance therapy. Gains achieved on finasteride or minoxidil typically reverse within about twelve months of stopping. Anyone starting should plan for ongoing treatment rather than a course with an endpoint.
Do I need a referral?+
No. Care is guided by Canadian-licensed practitioners and delivered fully online, with unlimited follow-ups included.
Is Felix Health legit?+
Yes. Felix is an established Canadian telehealth platform — your assessment is reviewed by a practitioner licensed in your province, any prescription is filled through a licensed Canadian pharmacy, and Felix reports being trusted by over 1.5 million patients across the country. It is a legitimate provider; the only thing this review weighs is value against the alternatives, not whether Felix is safe to use.
How do I sign up for Felix?+
Sign-up is entirely online. You complete Felix’s health assessment, a Canadian-licensed practitioner reviews your history and decides whether treatment is appropriate, and anything prescribed is delivered free to your door in discreet packaging — there is no clinic visit. You can start from any of the Felix links on this page.

Editorial Verdict

The comparison that decides this is not Felix against another clinic — it is prescription finasteride against over-the-counter minoxidil, and they are not substitutes. Minoxidil is topical and available without a prescription; finasteride is oral and is not. If you need the second, you need a prescriber, and that is the entire case for a platform here.

On that basis Felix wins against the shelf and ties against any other Canadian platform that can prescribe finasteride, because the molecule and the evidence are the same wherever the prescription comes from. What separates platforms is continuity — whether anyone follows up at three and six months, when the evidence says you find out if it is working.

Our call: use Felix if finasteride is part of the plan and you want the follow-up structured rather than self-managed. If minoxidil alone is the plan, a pharmacy is cheaper and no comparison is needed.

Prescription notice

GLP-1 medications, finasteride, NAD+ injections and the other treatments compared on this site are prescription-only in Canada. A prescription is issued only when a clinician licensed in your province determines it is clinically appropriate for you. Approval is never guaranteed.

Provider independence

Healthcare services are provided by independent third-party telehealth providers. All clinical and prescribing decisions are made solely by each provider's licensed clinicians, not by CompareTreatments Canada.
