A hair prosthesis wig is one of the treatment modalities in severe alopecia areata (AA). It can improve quality of life in people with alopecia areata by enhancing their self-esteem and social adjustment.
Wigs are widely used as a treatment option for chemotherapy-induced alopecia, advanced androgenetic alopecia, and severe AA.
A wig worn by an individual with alopecia for treatment purposes is not merely ornamental. It’s a necessity for daily life. And, similar to a prosthesis used by a patient who has lost a leg or an eye. Hence, it is called a “scalp or hair prosthesis” to differentiate it from a fashion wig.
Wearing a hair prosthesis wig not only helps with chemotherapy, but also enhances the person’ self-esteem. It provides mental stability, and helps them lead a normal social life.
