Medically Related Hair Replacement

Here are some common causes:

  • HEREDITY & PREDISPOSITION: A condition can run in your family.
  • DIET & NUTRITION: Poor eating, radical dieting, & sudden change in weight.
  • HORMONES & MENOPAUSE: Hormonal imbalances and some HRT supplements can have side effects.
  • ILLNESS & MEDICATIONS: Medications can have side effects (ex. steroid
    therapies for arthritis, inhalers for asthma, anesthesia, chemotherapy, radiation, etc.)

Health conditions like lupus and thyroid problems can also cause loss.

  • STRESS & TRAUMA: Most doctors won’t admit it, but stress contributes to hair loss.
  • ALOPECIA – Androgenetic Alopecia, Alopecia Areata, Alopecia Universalis & Alopecia Totalis are the most common.

Sometimes hair loss can be a “red flag” that something more serious could be wrong. A woman losing hair should see a physician as soon as possible.

Are some women affected more than others? Women can experience hair loss at ANY AGE, and it doesn’t discriminate by any other means.

Sometimes thinning is so gradual and diffused that by the time a woman realizes it, she may have already lost 30% or more of her hair. Other times it falls out more quickly, like during chemotherapy. It can come out in clumps, leaving small, round patches (Alopecia Areata); thin out profusely at the top and front (Androgenetic Alopecia); or the thinning can diffuse itself all over for any reason.

What does hair loss do to us? When a woman loses hair it does two things: 1) it drastically and adversely changes her PHYSICAL APPEARANCE, and 2) it profoundly affects and sometimes destroys her MENTAL and EMOTIONAL state of being.

Hair is an identifying feature for women; losing it makes us feel as though we’ve lost a part of ourselves. It makes us feel embarrassed, frightened and depressed. Depending on how you see yourself, you may choose to accept this loss, or you may find yourself asking...

"What are my options?"
If you have chosen Non-Surgical Hair Enhancement, you have many options. There are dozens of different types of hair pieces, integrations, and wigs that can either take the place of missing hair, or enhance your existing hair.

  • Wigs or Full Cranial Hair Prosthetics cover large areas that have high percentages of loss. They attach or stay on temporarily, and you put them on and take them off yourself.
  • Hair Pieces or Partial Hair Prosthetics come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes so that each individual’s situation can be remedied. These can be temporary or semi-permanently attached (left on for a longer period of time and professionally maintained). They either have solid bases, or if they have an open base (with openings for your existing hair) they are called Integration Pieces.

All are Human Hair, with the exception of Micro Point Products, and are chosen in the proper color, length, and texture. Some are totally custom made just for you. All methods are tested, and safe when proper care is taken.
