Can Icekap be used during chemotherapy?Updated 3 hours ago

Some customers use Icekap as a manual scalp-cooling cap during chemotherapy.

Scalp cooling works by lowering the temperature of the scalp during treatment. Cooling may reduce blood flow to the scalp and slow activity within hair-follicle cells, potentially reducing their exposure or sensitivity to certain chemotherapy drugs.

However, scalp cooling does not work equally well for every patient or chemotherapy regimen.

Whether scalp cooling is appropriate depends on factors including:

• Chemotherapy medications

• Dosage

• Infusion duration

• Cancer type

• Treatment plan

• Individual health history

Before using Icekap for chemotherapy scalp cooling, we strongly recommend discussing it with your oncologist or infusion team.
