https://www.foxnews.com/health/2015/12/08/fda-clears-cold-cap-to-save-hair-during-breast-cancer-chemo.html A number of times we wrote about the use of the Cold Cap for people who have cancer and did not want to lose their hair during chemotherapy. The stories I followed included a relative of mine who was able to hold on to 80% of her hair under chemotherapy for breast cancer. Another […]
We have written about a device called the Cold Cap before HERE Many patients over the years have written to us about the successful use of the Cold Cap at preventing hair loss from Chemotherapy. You can review our previous posts on the subject. For reasons unclear to me, I have been told that many […]
Snippet from the article: Read the rest — UCLA Tests New Device That May Save Patient’s Hair During Chemotherapy We’ve written about cold cap therapy quite a few times, and have even posted a patient’s wife’s experience with using it.
Snippet from the article: Read the rest — Cold caps tested to prevent hair loss in cancer patients For years now, we’ve written about cold caps to help retain much of the hair for those undergoing chemotherapy, so I’m glad it is getting more attention. This latest study of early stage breast cancer patients is […]
A previous post from a few months back talked about a way to prevent hair loss when a patient is going through chemotherapy by using Cold Cap Therapy. Chemo is used for treating many types of cancer, and many of these treatments cause hair loss. I am happy to report that the patient discussed in […]
I try to get involved in the lives of my patients and have developed many close friends from this group of wonderful people. I’m glad I could offer some help to this patient and his wife, and I wanted to post this so people considering using Cold Cap Therapy during chemotherapy might know what to […]
Snippet from the article: Read the full story at the LA Times — Cooling caps tested to help cancer patients keep hair Freezing the scalp to prevent chemo-related hair loss has been around for 30 or more years, though it doesn’t work for everyone and most people will still see some loss. On the bright […]
Snippet from the article: Read the full text — Cold Cap Therapy I read this with interest, but I have no knowledge of it first hand. The article does say that the “cold” in “cold cap therapy” means that they are stored at -22 degrees Fahrenheit, which I’d imagine could be quite uncomfortable. There’s one […]
I belong to a group of doctors (about 50 of them) who share information with each other about various hair related subjects. The Doctors Asked If Anyone Has Experience With Cold Therapy For Cancer Chemotherapy? I have had two patients who used Cold Caps(see: https://baldingblog.com/?s=cold+cap&x=0&y=0) on my referrals. One was a breast cancer patient and […]
Snippet from the article: Read the rest — DigniCap to Help Prevent Chemo Caused Hair Loss Cleared for FDA Trial We have discussed the concept in a series of previous posts about a device called the Cold Cap. It seems that the technology has gotten better since we wrote about it.
The hair is a rapidly growing organ, possibly among the fastest of body well (outside the intestine). Cancers are also fast growing so when the cancer is treated with Chemotherapy, the treatment targets fast growing cells. That is why many people who get this get stomach and intestinal side effects. Hair loss occurs in the […]
I do not know how to help you. You clearly had male pattern balding that was not complete and the chemotherapy stressed your fine, miniaturized hairs and finished the balding process in them. One of our patients had used the ‘Cold Cap’ when the took Chemotherapy and lost less than half of the hair. Few […]
I don’t know of any commercially available product that accelerates the return of hair after chemotherapy. We have written about cold cap therapy before, but that is something that is used during chemotherapy to maintain the hair, not to regrow it faster after the chemo treatments are complete. I realize this information doesn’t help you […]
Hair loss from chemotherapy is a common problem with certain drugs used to treat a variety of cancers. Recent reports show that systems like the Paxman Hair Loss Prevention System can prevent chemotherapy induced alopecia.
