Book Free ConsultationWhat Is a Non-Surgical Hair System for Men?
A modern men’s hair system is a customized, breathable base designed to replace thinning or bald areas without surgery. Often referred to as a toupee or hair patch, it’s bonded or clipped into place for a secure, undetectable look that lasts for weeks at a time.
Unlike outdated systems or ill-fitting hairpieces, our Chicago-based hair restoration studio offers non-surgical systems crafted to match your natural hairline, density, and lifestyle. Whether you’re working out, commuting downtown, or heading to meetings in River North, your system stays in place and styled.
We offer several base options — from ultra-thin skin bases to breathable mesh and hybrid lace materials — each chosen based on your scalp type, styling preference, and durability needs.
System Options Designed for Real Life
Bonded Systems
Our strongest hold for active lifestyles. Secure for 3–4 weeks, sweat-resistant, perfect for gym and daily wear. Ideal for full coverage.
Clip-in Systems
Flexible and removable. Ideal for men who want control and easy removal. Lightweight and breathable, great for short wear cycles.
Custom Base Materials
Choose from lace, ultra-thin skin, or hybrid options. Each designed to fit your activity level, scalp needs, and styling goals.

Can I work out, swim, or sweat with a bonded hair system?
Yes — our systems are designed for active lifestyles. Whether you're hitting the gym in Lincoln Park or enjoying Lake Michigan in the summer, your bonded system stays secure and comfortable with the right adhesive and base type.
Are Kaelyss systems detectable?
Our systems are undetectable up close. We match your hairline, density, and skin tone using breathable, medical-grade bases. They're designed to blend into your natural growth for a seamless finish.
Is there a difference between a toupee and a men’s hair system?
“Toupee” is an older term, while today’s non-surgical hair systems are lightweight, customizable, and much more natural-looking. At Kaelyss, we design systems to fit your hairline and lifestyle — without the stigma.
