Medical Skincare & Laser ClinicHair Loss resulting from either Alopecia or Chemotherapy is stressful and can have a profound emotional and psychological effect.

Both the hair piece and the Permaent Cosmetics Brows and Lash Enhancement can be as subtle or glamorous as the person requires, and more often then not, it is matched to the original hair either before full hair loss, or matched using photographs to get a natural likeness.
