Cranial Prosthesis & Medical Wig FAQs
Answers to Common Questions About Cranial Prosthetics & Medical Wigs

A medical wig, also called a cranial prosthesis, is specifically designed for individuals experiencing medical hair loss. These wigs prioritize scalp comfort, secure fit, breathability, and natural appearance for sensitive skin and long-term wear.

Medical wigs may also qualify for insurance reimbursement when prescribed by a healthcare provider.
