Cranial Prosthesis
What Is a Cranial Prosthesis?
A cranial prosthesis is a medical-grade hair replacement solution for individuals experiencing hair loss due to medical conditions such as chemotherapy or alopecia. Unlike cosmetic wigs, it is custom-fitted to provide comfort, scalp protection, and a natural appearance. At Regain Radiance, each prosthesis is selected through a private consultation to ensure personalized care, dignity, and confidence throughout the healing journey.
In addition to restoring appearance, a cranial prosthesis supports emotional well-being during a sensitive time. Each unit is designed with medical-grade materials suitable for delicate scalps, offering secure wear and long-term comfort. Our consultation-first approach ensures every client receives individualized guidance, education, and compassionate support tailored to their unique medical needs.
