Causes of HairLoss for women

Hair Loss in women is very similar to male pattern baldness. It affects millions of women in the US alone and many more throughout the world. There are many myths, but also many true reasons why women experience hair loss.
hh
Androgenetic Alopecia- Also known as "Female Pattern Baldness". This cause is the most common in women experiencing
hair loss and is a direct effect of genetics.
..
Telogen Effluvium - This occurs when hair goes into a resting or shock phase after any type of insult. This type of resting hair
shedding may occur as a result of pregnancy up to three to six months after giving birth. Telogen Effluvium may also be caused
when a woman loses a great deal of weight in a short period of time, possibly through a crash diet.
..
Alopecia Areata- When bald spots suddenly appear here or there, or when little tiny hairs that break off become noticeable.
Areata is Latin for round or circumscribed. It is often related to some stressful event that it's believed to be some type of
immunological imbalance where the immune system goes after its own hair for some unknown reason and causes them to go into
the resting phase and slow down their growth so they break off or come out. However, a lot of times it re-grows by itself.

Cranial Prosthesis and your Health Insurance

A custom hair replacement is NOT the same as an off-the-shelf wig. They are specifically designed to fit the exact specifications of your head-size, they are custom-colored to match your own hair color and unlike a standard all-machine ready-made wig, human or synthetic they are incredibly light and very comfortable to wear.

Finding a Prosthesis prosthesis that looks natural and is comfortable and secure allows people to go through this period of treatment with dignity and confidence.

When your hair loss is due to medical reasons such as chemotherapy, alopecia, Trichotillomania, or other medical conditions, request a prescription from your physician. It is essential that the prescription is written for a "full cranial prosthesis", making the purchase eligible for reimbursement under most medical insurance policies Most requests for a wigs or hair replacement units are denied, therefore you must request "full cranial prosthesis".

If you require a cranial prosthesis due to permanent hair loss or hair loss during chemotherapy or alopecia treatment, you may be eligible for full upfront coverage to purchase the cranial prosthesis or reimbursement by your health insurance company thereafter
