What Is a Cranial Prosthesis?
A cranial prosthesis, often called a medical wig, is more than hair replacement.
For many people, it’s a pathway back to dignity, confidence, and normalcy during one of the most vulnerable seasons of life.
At TRUE by K. Nicole®, our cranial prostheses are thoughtfully designed, fully glueless, and created specifically for individuals navigating medically related hair loss. This includes hair loss caused by conditions such as alopecia areata, medication side effects, chemotherapy, autoimmune disorders, and other medical diagnoses.
These are not cosmetic wigs.
They are medical-grade solutions built to support comfort, daily wear, and emotional well-being.
Why Cranial Prostheses Matter
Hair loss due to illness or treatment can deeply impact how a person sees themselves and how they move through the world.
A cranial prosthesis supports more than appearance:
It helps restore self-esteem and confidence
It offers a sense of normalcy and control
It reduces the emotional burden that often comes with medical hair loss
For many clients, receiving the right prosthesis is not about vanity, it’s about healing.
Insurance Coverage May Be Available
Many insurance providers recognize cranial prostheses as a medically necessary expense when hair loss is related to a qualifying condition.
You may be eligible for coverage or reimbursement through:
Private insurance (with required documentation)
Medicaid (coverage varies by state)
HSA/FSA accounts
Understanding these options can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to navigate them alone.
