scalp-cooling

Scalp Cooling

Hair loss is a common after-effect of most chemotherapy drugs. A Scalp Cooling System minimizes hair loss from certain chemotherapy treatments, such as those associated with breast, prostate, ovarian, uterine, and other tissues. Scalp cooling is a proven approach to reduce chemotherapy-induced hair loss. It works by reducing blood flow to the scalp area, limiting the amount of chemotherapy agent delivered to the hair follicles. It also lowers scalp temperature and dramatically slows down normal cellular activity in the scalp area. Our Andheri Centre is equipped with scalp cooling where we have successfully prevented hair loss in several cancer patients.
