What it is
Not simply worn. Individually created.
CNC® is a custom cranial prosthesis designed around your scalp, your hair characteristics and the result you want.
Each system is individually created with careful attention to hair source, color, density, texture, direction and overall harmony.
Beyond a traditional hair system — your hair solution should adapt to you, not the other way around.

Made in Italy

Our heritage
Born from an Italian vision of hair restoration.
The story began in Italy with Cesare Ragazzi, who believed that people experiencing hair loss deserved something more natural, personalized and sophisticated than the solutions available at the time.
That vision inspired a new approach to non-surgical hair restoration — and, over the years, evolved into the CNC® custom cranial prosthesis and the CRLAB methodology used today.

Can insurance help cover CNC®?
