Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a series of hair prostheses for aesthetically solving baldness.
  • the Applicant has noted on the one hand that the prosthesis he has proposed, once adopted, permanently solves the problem without creating any discomfort that cannot be eliminated by simply using correct hygiene and periodic maintenance of the prosthesis, and on the other hand that there are some psychological problems occurring at the beginning of the treatment.
  • US-A-3,842,439 discloses a method for replacing hair which consists in providing, having surgically prepared the bald area, a series of continuous sutures embedded therein in a concentric ring pattern. Each suture is embedded so as to form a pattern of loops. Subsequently, wefts of hair are sewn to one or more of the loops until the area is covered with hair.
  • FR-A-2 676 622 represents the closest prior art and discloses a method and prostheses of decreasing areas specifically aimed to be used in combination with the hair graft technique.
  • the prostheses is provided with a perforated portion having a hair density lower than in the rest of the prostheses, said portion being specifically designed to cover the scalp area wherein hair graft have beem implanted.
  • a principal aim of the present invention is to obviate the mentioned drawbacks of conventional prostheses, i.e., to provide a series of hair prostheses for reducing baldness that can be produced, and therefore start to be adopted, in a rather short time and avoids the uneasiness of passing instantly from baldness to a full head of hair and can gradually adapt the user to the presence of a foreign object in contact with his skin.
  • an object of the present invention is to achieve said aim with a structure that is simple, relatively easy to produce in practice, safe in use, effective in operation, and has a relatively low cost.
  • the reference numeral 1 generally designates a series of hair prostheses for reducing baldness, according to the invention.
  • the series 1 consists of a plurality of prostheses, designated by the reference numerals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, that are custom-made after taking a mold of the user's scalp and are applied sequentially: the prostheses of each series have an area that increase gradually starting from an initial area, preferably located in the region where the last strands of hair were lost, until the entire bald area is covered.
  • the reference numeral 2 designates, by way of example, the spread centers that are typical of Western hair; these points, known in the field as distribution points, are very important in the production of the series of prostheses, since when the hair is applied to the supporting cap one always seeks to reproduce the natural distribution and orientation of the user's hair: in all the prostheses of the series, the natural distribution point of the user is maintained.
  • the letters A, B, C, and D designate four typical and rather frequent cases of shapes and dimensions of baldness: one begins with the assumption that the user has a bald spot having the extension of the area designated by the highest number (the numeral 6) and that gradually larger prostheses are applied in succession, starting from the one designated by the reference numeral 1: in practice, the user's prosthesis is replaced with another larger one every thirty to sixty days, so as to give him time to gradually adapt to his appearance with hair.
  • each prosthesis the thickness of the support 4 is reduced, whereas the density of the hair is increased: in order to better integrate the point where the prostheses is attached to the scalp and to achieve an optimum aesthetic result, weave hair strands T (figure 3) are inserted along the outer border; these strands are orientated radially and have a flatter inclination with respect to the other regions.
  • each one of the prostheses the individual hair are orientated and inclined like the user's original hair.
