The facts about scalp cooling

Claire Paxman, the brand ambassador & Director of global education for Paxman scalp cooling, the global leader in scalp cooling.

Claire shares how it was her Mum having breast cancer in the 90's that first made her aware of scalp cooling, when she tried the cold cap. Her Mum went on to lose her battle with cancer at just 44. She was 14 when she had to shave all her Mum's hair off, which was a devastating experience for her.

Her Grandfather invented the first ice bank cooler for beer, and they began to use their knowledge of cooling systems to develop a better scalp cooling system which is a medical device.

Vasoconstriction can have a great effect on how much hair is lost during chemotherapy treatment, and also how fast it will grow back.

Claire shares how knowledge & education around the use of the cold cap is vital, and is working hard to ensure that the correct information is given and available to hospitals and patients.
