Cranial Prosthesis
A cranial prosthesis is a custom-made wig designed for individuals experiencing medical-related hair loss due to conditions such as alopecia, chemotherapy, lupus, or other scalp disorders. Unlike fashion wigs, cranial prostheses are constructed with medical-grade materials to provide comfort, durability, and a natural appearance. They are often prescribed by doctors and may be covered by insurance as a medical necessity.
Types of Cranial Prostheses:
-
Full Lace Wigs – Made with a lace cap that covers the entire scalp, offering maximum breathability and a realistic hairline. Ideal for those with complete hair loss.
-
Lace Front Wigs – Feature a lace section at the front to mimic a natural hairline while the rest of the cap is made with a more durable material. Good for partial hair loss or those needing a secure fit.
-
Monofilament Wigs – Designed with a soft cap that creates the illusion of natural hair growth from the scalp, allowing for multi-directional parting.
-
Hand-Tied Wigs – Each strand of hair is individually tied to a soft, breathable cap, providing a lightweight and natural feel.
-
Silicone-Based Wigs – Feature a medical-grade silicone base that adheres to the scalp for a secure fit, ideal for individuals with complete baldness.
-
Human Hair Wigs – Crafted from 100% real hair, allowing for styling versatility, including heat styling and coloring.
-
Synthetic Wigs – Made with high-quality synthetic fibers that retain their shape and style with minimal maintenance.
Each type of cranial prosthesis is designed to cater to different needs, ensuring comfort, confidence, and a natural look for the wearer.
