Paxman Scalp Cooling System –at Our Daycare Unit
Reducing Hair Loss During Chemotherapy
- Clinically approved by the FDA
- Proven effective for patients with solid tumors such as breast, ovarian, colorectal, bowel, and prostate cancers
- Used by over 100,000 patients in 35 countries
Benefits of Scalp Cooling
- Helps patients retain more of their hair during treatment
- Reduces the emotional and psychological impact of hair loss
- Allows patients to maintain a sense of normalcy and dignity
What to Expect with Scalp Cooling
- A cooling cap is worn before, during, and after chemotherapy infusion.
- Cooling narrows scalp blood vessels, reducing the amount of chemotherapy drug reaching hair follicles.
- The process adds around 60–90 minutes to each chemotherapy session.
- Some patients feel a cold sensation or mild headache initially, but this usually improves.
- Effectiveness varies depending on chemotherapy type and individual response.
