Understanding Alopecia and Hair Loss
Discover the best wigs for alopecia. Learn how to choose your first medical wig, explore insurance coverage options, and restore confidence with NYC Medical Wigs.
Understanding Alopecia and Hair Loss
Alopecia is an autoimmune condition that causes partial or complete hair loss. It can affect women of all ages and stages of life. While there’s no cure, medical wigs for alopecia (also known as cranial prostheses) offer a solution that restores both beauty and confidence.
At NYC Medical Wigs, we specialize in natural-looking wigs for women with alopecia, crafted from premium Remy human hair and designed to be lightweight, breathable, and secure.
Why Choose a Medical Wig for Alopecia?
Not all wigs are the same. While fashion wigs may work for occasional wear, medical wigs are specially designed for women experiencing hair loss.
Benefits of Medical Wigs:
-
✅ Lightweight & breathable – gentle on sensitive scalps.
-
✅ Secure fit – stays in place during daily activities.
-
✅ Undetectable hairline – lace front and hand-tied caps look like your own hair.
-
✅ Covered by insurance – many insurance providers consider cranial prostheses medically necessary (we handle the paperwork for you).
