The CNC Hair Prosthetic System has given Isabel back her confidence<\/figcaption><\/div>\nThat solution is the CNC Hair Prosthetic System, a combination of 3D printing technology, custom medical grade prosthetics, handcrafted materials and the highest quality human hair. Unlike a wig, the prosthetics precisely mirror a client\u2019s scalp, hairline and direction of growth.<\/p>\n
\u201cSarah fitted me with the hair integration system that I could wear 24\/7 as well as wash and style like it was my own. I continue to cycle, hike and climb mountains without having to give any thought to my hair,\u201d explains Isabel.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey make a net for you to the shape of your head. They pull your own hair through the holes. Then it\u2019s attached with clips, so your own hair will hold that on, then additional hair is sewn on. It wasn\u2019t painful and I was happy to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The prosthetic doubles as a hair restoration solution, containing cutting edge nanotechnologies and tailored ingredients based on clients\u2019 hair needs, preventing further hair loss and accelerating healthy hair growth.<\/p>\n
Isabel says she felt an immediate difference after first undertaking the system.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving faith in Sarah at the salon was the main thing. I\u2019ve had to be confident because I was putting all my trust in her to do something for me, to choose colour, to choose style, everything. And that was the main thing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI walked out of that salon with my head held high and the biggest smile on my face.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I have never ever, ever looked back and it doesn\u2019t feel as if it\u2019s not my hair, it is my hair.\u201d<\/p>\n
Though everyone\u2019s hair is different, the clips in Isabel\u2019s hair are tightened every six weeks, with the system being removed twice a year before being refitted.<\/p>\n
\u201cLiving with alopecia is not a lifestyle choice,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a huge difference in choosing to live without hair and not having hair. Finding a hair loss solution at La Bella Vita was a true gift. It is the best investment in me I have ever met. My confidence was restored.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt does knock you for six because I had a full healthy head of hair,\u201d she says of the diagnosis.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile you are in and around your own friends and your family there\u2019s no problem with it because that\u2019s what they just see, the person you are, there\u2019s no difference. When you go into other places, it becomes more invasive. It\u2019s more of an issue for other people than it was for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Isabel is \u201cvery open\u201d speaking about hair loss and hopes her openness will help others.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce you become aware of how many people are affected by some form of hair loss, not just by alopecia, but people who lose parts of their hair because of chemotherapy, or a spot somewhere that doesn\u2019t grow,\u201d she says. \u201cYou have male pattern baldness where their hair thins on top, that can be catered for. There is a solution out there for those who want to go and have a look and explore the possibility.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have absolutely no problem talking about it. It\u2019s no different to having to wear a pair of glasses or using a walking stick. If it\u2019s something that improves your quality of life, which this obviously has done. I was never an unhappy person but like everything, I prefer not to have it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sarah Gallagher adds: \u201cWe are so delighted that Isabel had such a fantastic experience with us and we could see how delighted she was and what a difference it made to her confidence and her life. Treating a client\u2019s hair solution, like Isabel\u2019s, is both an art and a science.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need to know how to identify different types of hair, how to match colours and textures, and how to care for hair so it looks its best. On the other hand, we also need to be able to see beyond the conventional uses for hair. We need to be able to envision new styles and techniques and to have the skill to bring those visions to life.\u201d<\/p>\n
