What Is a Medical Wig?
A medical wig (also called a cranial prosthesis) is a specially designed wig created for individuals experiencing hair loss due to:
- Chemotherapy
- Radiation treatment
- Alopecia (all types)
- Trichotillomania
- Thyroid or autoimmune conditions
- Hormonal or postpartum hair loss
- Genetic thinning
Medical wigs differ from fashion wigs because they are:
- Softer and more comfortable
- Designed for sensitive scalps
- Lightweight and breathable
- Secure without causing irritation
- Often eligible for insurance coverage
If you’re searching for medical wigs in Canada, you’re in the right place.
