    reduces hair loss during chemotherapy by cooling the scalp

    Scalp Cooling, also known as Cold Cap Therapy or Scalp Hypothermia, is a technique used to reduce hair loss during chemotherapy. It involves wearing a specially designed cap filled with a cooling agent before, during, and after chemotherapy sessions. The cooling effect constricts blood vessels in the scalp, reducing the amount of chemotherapy drugs that reach hair follicles, thereby minimizing hair loss.
