Scalp cooling systems and the cold caps are tightly fitting, strap on, helmet types hats that are fitted with gel coolant which is chilled to between -15 to -40 degrees Fahrenheit. These scalp cooling systems and caps help some women keep their hair during Chemotherapy.
Both the scalp cooling system and cool caps work by constricting the blood vessels lying beneath the scalp of skin and thereby reducing the amount of the medicines that reach the hair follicles. With less chemotherapy medicines in the follicles, hair are likely to fall out. Due to cold activity of the hair follicles slows down the cell division making the follicles less affected by chemotherapy.
During the chemotherapy session, cold cap half hair loss can be worn during the chemotherapy sessions:
• Before 20-50 minutes
• After
• During
In each of the chemotherapy session, amount of the time the cap is worn after the chemotherapy session depends largely depends on the type of chemotherapy you get. Old caps and scalp cooling systems differ. Cold caps are more or less like ice packs that are kept in special freezer before they are worn and the cold caps thaw out at the time of chemotherapy infusion session and have to be replaced with the new ones in every half an hour.
Those who suffer from Alpoceia or extreme hair loss during chemotherapy sessions can depend on the cold cap brands and toupees for men are also popular. With scalp cooling systems, cap is attached to small refrigeration equipment which circulates the coolant so the cap is to be fitted and does not need to be changed at the time of chemotherapy. With the help of branded scalp cooling systems, treatment of diseases is possible.
As the caps are cold some of the women may get headache when they wear the caps. Most of the women that use scalp cooling systems or cold caps at the time of chemotherapy are advised to baby their hair at the time of chemotherapy.
Sometimes people use toupees for men are used when people do not want to undergo cold cap hair loss treatments.
