Claims9
A method for obtaining a skin patch (1), the method providing for, starting from a previously obtained mold, accurately reproducing a patient's head skin portion to be subjected to artificial hair thickening, and in sequentially carrying out the following steps:
- a finishing of said mold performed by an automatic or manual filing, using specific files suited to smoothen the perimeter of said mold;
- an annotation of the aesthetic features of the mold, which include:
- the definition of the area to be hair-thickened to a greater extent, the color and type of hairs, if curly, smooth or wavy, the hair length, hair distribution, hair growth vortex direction;
- grizzling;
- attaining an avatar of the patient's head and superimposing said mold on said avatar;
- foaming a polymeric material on a concave surface of said mold;
- said foaming allowing to reproduce also said area to be hair-thickened to a greater extent;
- covering said foamed polymeric material, as prepared in the preceding step, with a very thin polyurethane film for medical use;
- automated or manual graft/transplantation of available synthetic and/or natural non-treated hairs;
- removing said skin patch (1), as obtained in the preceding step, from said avatar of the patient's head.
A medical kit comprising at least two devices, the devices consisting of at least a first device, which forms a mold that accurately reproduces the profile of a patient's head portion to be subjected to artificial hair thickening, and at least a second device, the latter being a skin patch (1) attachable to a patient's skin portion which manifests baldness;
- wherein, said skin patch (1) is made of foamed polymeric material and presents a graft/transplant of synthetic and/or natural origin hairs, available on the market, said hair graft being located on the patch portion suited to fit on the skin portion to be subjected to artificial hair thickening.
