Paxman Scalp Cooling

In Delhi

Paxman scalp cooling is a supportive treatment used during chemotherapy to help reduce hair loss. Hair loss can be one of the most difficult parts of cancer treatment emotionally, and the therapy is trying to make the experience easier. It works by gently cooling your scalp before, during, and after chemotherapy sessions. This reduces blood flow to your hair follicles, which helps limit how much chemotherapy reaches them. As a result, you might be able to keep some or most of your hair during the treatment.

The therapy is mainly used for patients undergoing chemotherapy for cancers like breast cancer or other solid tumors. It is suitable for you if you're concerned about your hair loss and want to manage the side effects. The effectiveness can vary depending on the type of therapy and individual response.

Your Treatment Journey
The process begins before your chemotherapy session. A cooling cap is placed on your head to gradually lower scalp temperature. The cap is worn throughout the chemotherapy session and for some time afterward. The entire process is supervised. The sessions are planned alongside your chemotherapy schedule, making it easy for you to include them in your treatment routine.

Managing Side Effects
You might feel cold or slightly uncomfortable when the cooling begins, especially during the first few minutes. It usually settles as your body adjusts. There might be mild headaches in some cases. The care team helps you stay comfortable during the session with simple support, such as blankets. Overall, the treatment is well tolerated.
