While traditional wigs and cranial prosthesis devices may seem like interchangeable terms for the same product, there are distinct and important differences between the two. A Traditional wigs can be custom designed for the perfect fit and look. A Cranial prosthesis is created specifically to address the different needs of patients living with hair loss due to a medical condition and / or genetic condition . The cap is constructed differently from a traditional wig, designed to perfectly fit the cranium and scalp rather than accommodate existing hair under a cap. In addition to looking and feeling like natural hair, a cranial prosthesis is also designed to be comfortable, cool, and lightweight for everyday wear. Wigs can be a fun way to switch up your hairstyle and try out a dramatic change without dramatic commitment. However, for millions of people living with health conditions capable of affecting hair growth, a cranial prosthesis is so much more than a wig. Unlike traditional wigs, cranial prosthesis wigs are medical devices that can possibly restore the appearance of hair, aid in body temperature regulation and provide vital protection to the scalp. Cranial prosthesis hair replacement devices are such an essential part of a patient’s health journey.
