Chemotherapy has saved millions of lives worldwide, but one of its most common side effects — hair loss — often brings distress to patients. For many, losing hair is not just a physical change; it affects their self-confidence, identity, and emotional strength.
At Arka Hospital & Research Institute, Guntur, we are proud to be the first in Andhra Pradesh to introduce Scalp Cooling Technology — a groundbreaking solution that helps patients undergoing chemotherapy to reduce hair loss and regain confidence during their cancer journey.
Scalp Cooling Technology, also known as “cold cap therapy”, is an advanced, non-invasive technique designed to protect hair during chemotherapy. The technology works by gently cooling the scalp using a specialized system.
Here’s how it works:
The scalp is cooled before, during, and after chemotherapy sessions.
Cooling reduces blood flow to hair follicles.
This limits the amount of chemotherapy drugs reaching the follicles.
As a result, hair roots remain stronger, and hair loss is significantly reduced.
It is a scientifically proven, safe, and effective method widely used in many leading cancer care centers around the world.
Benefits of Scalp Cooling for Chemotherapy Patients
1. Reduces Hair Loss
The biggest advantage is minimizing hair thinning or complete loss, which is one of the most visible effects of chemotherapy.
2. Promotes Healthy Regrowth
Patients who use scalp cooling often experience faster and healthier hair regrowth after treatment.
3. Improves Emotional Well-Being
Maintaining hair helps patients feel more confident, reduces anxiety, and supports a positive outlook during treatment.
4. Safe and Comfortable
The cooling system is designed to be gentle, non-invasive, and safe for patients without interfering with the effectiveness of chemotherapy.
5. Restores Dignity and Identity
Hair is often tied to one’s personal identity. Preserving it helps patients feel more like themselves, even while undergoing cancer treatment.
Why Scalp Cooling Matters in Cancer CareCancer treatment is not only about fighting the disease — it is also about protecting the emotional and psychological well-being of patients. Hair loss can make patients feel exposed and can serve as a constant reminder of their illness.
