Hair prostheses and wigs: what are the differences?
When faced with hair loss, various systems are available to restore a natural-looking head of hair and help you feel comfortable with yourself and others again. Prostheses and wigs are the primary solutions for addressing thinning hair, yet not everyone is fully aware of the differences between the two. Let’s explore them together!
What is a wig?
A wig is a generic solution that is rarely tailored to the specific needs of the individual. Visually, it resembles a head covering consisting of a base—often made of mesh—onto which natural or synthetic hair is knotted. It covers the entire head, concealing any existing hair, and is designed to be removed daily.
What is a hair prosthesis?
The CRLAB hair prosthesis is an innovative, effective, and non-invasive solution designed for those wishing to add fullness to their hair—concealing thinning or baldness—without resorting to surgery.
It consists of a biocompatible polymer base onto which natural, virgin hair strands are hand-implanted one by one to ensure a natural look. Various anchoring systems are available to secure the unit, including medical-grade solid and liquid adhesives.
The advantages of the hair prosthesis:
• The materials used are durable, hypoallergenic, and breathable, ensuring maximum scalp comfort.
• It is custom-made, strictly adhering to the specific dimensions of the balding area and blending existing hair with a fully personalized unit—known as an “integrated hair system.”
• It adapts to any need, as it can be shaped to fit only the specific area requiring coverage.
• The hair used matches the natural hair in color, wave pattern, and thickness, ensuring a perfect fit and a result that is virtually invisible and long-lasting.
• It offers complete freedom: it is water-resistant and ensures maximum comfort in the shower, at the beach, and during sports activities.
• It can be worn continuously—24 hours a day, 7 days a week—enhancing your self-image at any time of day.
