HAIR RESTORATION INSTITUTE helps men and women experiencing medically-related hair loss as a result of chemotherapy, thyroid, or other medical disorders and treatments.

Chemotherapy, and other cancer treatments such as radiation, works because they kill rapidly dividing cells.  Because hair grows relatively fast, these cells are attacked and the hair growth is temporarily stopped. Now that new anti-nausiant drugs are available to patients, many people living with cancer treatment are able to work and play almost like normal, except for the hair loss.

The hair loss brings a loss of privacy and self-image that many find harder to deal with than the actual treatment. For this situation, we recommend that you choose a wig from a selection of full cap wigs.

Causes of Medically Related Hair Loss

Medically related hair loss can be attributed to several causes including:

• Alopecia Areata

• Alopecia Totalis

• Alopecia Universalis

• Chemotherapy

• Radiation Treatments

• Drugs and Surgery

• Health and Stress

• Chemical Damage

• Accident Injury

• Burns and Scars

• Disaster trauma
   

There are several hair loss treatment options available for those experiencing medically related hair loss. Some people choose hair replacement systems, scarves or turbans, while others prefer a full or partial hair prosthesis.

Our custom hair replacements for men, women, and children are uniquely different from the standard wigs readily available in department stores or mail order catalogs.

They are designed to meet an individual's specific hair loss needs, and to look totally natural and undetectable.  They are also designed in such a way as to not irritate the scalp of an individual with little or no hair of their own.  Whatever the cause, every medically-related hair loss situation can be restored to the patient’s original hair style and look.
 

100% Human Hair Wigs

For the very ultimate in comfort and style there is nothing like a high-quality human hair wig.

Contrary to popular belief, not all human hair wigs are hard to maintain. In fact, because you can use hot blowers, rollers and curling (straightening) irons you have a lot more styling options.

Human hair wigs are cut and customized to the look that you want. For this reason we do not have set styles like with the synthetic wigs.
 

Synthetic Wigs

The synthetic hair that we choose is of a higher quality that you would see in a department store or catalog.  We make our wigs to 'medical quality' standards, leaving others to provide what we call 'fashion wigs'.

Medical wigs, especially made with synthetic hair, are a huge improvement over machine made fashion wigs. The cap of our wigs fits the shape of a head that has little or no hair, even the materials used in the construction of our medical quality wigs are designed to not irritate a sensitive scalp.
