Hats Off to Cold Cap Therapy for Chemotherapy-Induced Hair Loss
Hair loss is one of the most visible and emotionally distressing side effects of chemotherapy, often impacting a patient’s identity, confidence, and sense of normalcy. While frequently overlooked in clinical priority, its psychological burden is profound. Cold cap therapy offers a proactive solution by cooling the scalp to reduce chemotherapy exposure to hair follicles, helping prevent hair loss before it begins. As oncology care evolves, preserving hair is becoming an important part of supporting patients holistically through treatment.
