4 Ways to prevent hair loss during chemotherapy - 1
1. The cold cap, how it works?
Cold cap therapy has been used widely in Europe for some time, but is a relative newcomer to the United States. The precise manner of working is yet unclear, one hypothesis is that the cold cap slows down blood circulation in the hair follicles and leading to shrinkage in blood vessels of that area, therefore obstructing strong chemical substances deployed in chemotherapy from being able to reach hair follicles.
Further, coldness itself reduces the availability of chemotherapy cytotoxic drugs to the cells of the hair follicles by directly reducing their metabolic rate. While the cold cap can't outwardly prevent hair loss, the effect that a patient gets is reduced to hair thinning instead of total baldness. Research suggests the cold cap can preserve hair in about 70% - 90% of patients.
The code cap will put on 15 minutes before chemotherapy to start restricting blood flow, and kept on during and up to 1-2 hours after your chemotherapy.
It is noteworthy that :Despite the anecdotal success of these cooling caps, no formal clinical studies have been done in the United States to prove the effectiveness of this hair loss method.
