Perhaps you've heard of 3D printing for hair loss for men and women. It's one of the fastest growing areas of innovation today and with good reason. It provides individuals with the ability to craft very precise, specific objects designed to create a very realistic look. It's being used in many industries - ranging from plastics to human organs. Now, it may be exactly what you need to finally tackle your hair loss. Could this be the way you finally get your hair back? In some situations, it could be the future of cosmetic hair replacement.
How Can 3D Printing Help Restore Your Hair?
The use of three dimensional printing can help many people to have hair again, though it may not actually help you to grow hair. It would work much like a prosthetic, but it would fit your head precisely and that will make all of the difference in the way it feels, looks, and lasts. If you have thought about getting a prosthesis before, or you've done it, you already know that the process seems "off." This method would make it possible for you to have very realistic looking hair that you can use the way you want to and that feels just like your own. Would you do it?
One of the first attempts at this technology occurred in Italy. There, a company called CRLAB created a 3D technology called CNC hair system. They have systems for both men and women. The method is a non-invasive type of hair implant. In short, it is much more likely a prosthesis and hair transplant combined. Sound confusing? That's because it is so innovative and new, most people have not heard of it yet. In short, this is a very precise custom designed hair prosthetic that will replicate every detail of your hair right down to the texture, color, and even how it falls naturally on your head.
It works because the process involves a mapping procedure that works over the scalp. It maps every little contour and change, creating a very precise map. It is because of this that it feels so natural and looks fantastic when complete.
How Does It Work?
There are various types of 3D printing available today and these range widely in how the process works. However, most follow a very simple path:
- A mold is taken of the scalp. It is done very precisely to ensure it is as accurate as possible. This can be done to map just the areas of hair loss, making it possible to replace just the areas where you've lost hair rather than the entire scalp.
- Then, the mold is used to create a three dimensional mold of your scalp.
- Then, this is used to create a printed thin membrane that matches your scalp perfectly.
- The material is a type of bio-polymer so it is quite comfortable and pliable. The membrane is customized perfectly to match your head!
- Then, a hair sample is taken from the individual and it is colored matched, as well as matched for texture and curl. It is then attached strand by strand to the membrane.
- It is then possible to attach the membrane to the scalp. This s done using a medical grade, very safe adhesive that doesn't wash away easily.
The result is very much a realistic looking model of your head. It works very well when put into place and, perhaps most importantly, it is hard to tell that the hair is anything but natural!
With the 3D hair in place, you are able to do all of the things you enjoy doing. This includes sports, swimming, and taking a shower with it in place. You can then style it any way that you would like to as well. The membrane does not move or slip out of place. In many cases, it is also possible to cut and dye the hair, creating a natural and customized look just for you.
