  • What Is the Difference Between a Cranial Prosthesis and a Traditional Wig?

    While a cranial prosthesis is technically a type of wig, it is specifically designed for individuals experiencing medically diagnosed hair loss. The difference is not cosmetic—it is medical.


    Traditional wigs are mass-produced and sold as retail fashion accessories. Cranial prostheses, however, are prescription-based medical devices. They are custom-sized based on your head measurements for a secure and comfortable fit.


    Because cranial prostheses are considered Durable Medical Equipment (DME) when medically necessary, they may qualify for insurance coverage. This classification separates them from retail hair products and ensures that the process is guided by medical documentation.


    A properly fitted cranial prosthesis provides:

    • Secure, measurement-based construction
    • Protection for natural hair and scalp
    • Coverage for thinning or bald areas
    • Comfort for long-term wear
    • Styling versatility for daily confidence

    The goal is dignity, not decoration.


  • What Texture Options Are Available?

    Patients may select from a variety of textures during their consultation process. Available texture options include:

    • Straight
    • Kinky Straight
    • Yaki Straight
    • Body Wave
    • Deep Wave
    • Kinky Curly
    • Loose Wave
    • Natural Wave
    • Water Wave

    Texture selection is part of your private consultation and prescription process. Each prosthesis is built according to your medical needs and personal preferences while maintaining proper fit and structure.

  • What Sizes Are Available for Cranial Prostheses?

    Proper sizing is essential for comfort and stability. Unlike retail wigs that use generic sizing, cranial prostheses are built based on your individual head circumference measurements.


    Available size ranges include:

    • Ultra Petite/Child Size: 19–20 inches
    • Petite/Average: 21–21.5 inches
    • Small: 21.5–22.4 inches
    • Medium: 22.5–23 inches
    • Large: 23–24 inches

    Your measurements are confirmed during the intake process to ensure your prosthesis fits securely and comfortably.

  • What Length Options Are Available?

    Cranial prostheses come in various lengths to accommodate personal comfort and style preferences:

    • Short: Up to 10 inches
    • Medium: 12 to 16 inches
    • Long: 18 to 24 inches
    • Extra Long: 26 inches and beyond

    Length selection is discussed during your consultation. The objective is to choose a length that supports both comfort and confidence.

  • Can Health Insurance Cover My Cranial Prosthesis?

    Yes, absolutely.


    Understanding insurance coverage can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate it alone.


    Revived Beauty LLC was founded by a retired Army major who was also her first patient. That personal journey shaped our commitment to guiding individuals through the insurance and documentation process with compassion and expertise.


    If you are experiencing medical hair loss, your insurance may cover part or all of the cost of a cranial prosthesis when recognized as Durable Medical Equipment (DME). Our team assists with:

    • Verifying eligibility
    • Reviewing prescription documentation
    • Assisting with prescription submission paperwork
    • Guiding you through the claims process

    We work closely with veterans and understand VA-related documentation requirements. Privacy and accuracy remain our priority throughout the process.

  • What Types of Medical Hair Loss May Qualify for Coverage?

    Insurance coverage typically depends on medical necessity and proper documentation. Types of medical hair loss that may qualify include:

    • Alopecia-related hair loss
    • Chemotherapy-induced hair loss
    • Radiation-related hair loss
    • Thyroid-related hair loss
    • Lupus-related hair loss
    • Cancer-related hair loss
    • Hair loss due to medical stress
    • Reactions to medical illness

    Eligibility varies by provider and diagnosis. Our team assists in reviewing your specific situation.

  • What Is the Process for Getting Started?

    The process is simple and structured to reduce confusion:

    1. Submit your prescription (Rx).
    2. Complete your intake through our secure Patient Portal.
    3. Participate in a private consultation.
    4. Receive your custom-built prosthesis via global delivery.

    Typical turnaround time is 30 to 45 days once documentation is finalized.

  • Is My Information Kept Private?

    Yes.


    We operate under a prescription-based medical model, not a retail storefront. Your documentation is handled through secure systems, and we do not publicly display pricing or personal medical information.


    Our goal is to create a protected, patient-centered experience that respects your privacy at every step.
