Why Scalp Cooling
- Scalp cooling is a simple treatment that can prevent hair loss caused by certain chemotherapy drugs. The use of scalp cooling or ‘cold caps’ is proven to be an effective way of combatting chemotherapy-induced hair loss and can result in a high level of retention or completely preserve the hair
- Scalp cooling efficacy for preventing chemotherapy-induced alopecia has been proven in many clinical trials and within numerous centers for all solid tumor cancers
- The fear of this hair loss is a major concern for most patient before starting therapy. Losing hair on therapy makes them feel low on confidence as it gives a sense of loss of identity, more so for females
