Cooling the scalp is an effective method to help prevent hair loss. This treatment helps patients preserve their hair during chemotherapy and experience the treatment process in a more positive way. Scalp cooling treatment is quite simple. This treatment is performed using a cap consisting of two main parts. This cap is worn on the patient’s scalp for a period of time before, during, and after the chemotherapy infusion. The cap contains an inner cap and an outer cap that are close to the scalp. The inner cover contains the coolant, which circulates on the scalp and helps reduce the temperature. This helps protect hair follicles and limit damage caused by chemotherapy drugs. Scalp cooling works to limit the damaging effect of chemotherapy drugs used during cancer treatment on hair follicles. Here is a simple explanation of this process: Chemotherapy and Rapidly Dividing Cells: Chemotherapy attacks rapidly dividing cells. Cancerous tumors consist of these types of cells. In addition, hair follicles also contain rapidly dividing cells. Chemotherapy can also damage healthy hair follicles, an effect that causes hair loss. However, scalp cooling helps reduce this damage. Vasoconstriction (Narrowing of Blood Vessels): Cold causes the blood vessels in the hair area to narrow. This provides less blood flow to the hair follicles and therefore prevents the chemotherapy drug from reaching the hair follicles. Reduced Drug Intake: Chemotherapy drugs must…
