Medical hair loss is caused by medical treatments such as chemotherapy and others. Though in most cases it’s a temporary condition—reversing itself once treatments stop, it can be very disconcerting to the woman who experiences it. We know. We specialize in helping women whose hair loss has been induced by medical treatments. So we’re aware and sympathetic to all the challenges you’re currently facing. Though treatments can cause a range of side effects that can be very difficult physically, none can be more psychologically and emotionally debilitating than the loss of your hair.

A Wig Is Not Just A Wig
A wig is not just a wig when it comes to the woman with medical hair loss. It’s not being worn for reasons of fun and fashion, like many of the varieties seen in wig shops. It’s not a whim, and certainly not something that you plan to wear for only a few hours while out on the town.
If you’ve looked through this site, it’s easy to see that you have many choices when it comes to selecting a wig-including the choice of not wearing a wig at all, but instead, using a scarf or hat to cover your hair loss.
