I did cold capping 3 years ago, using Penguin cold caps. I lost very little hair. I was on Taxol for 12 weekly treatments. I had read that the chance of recurrence to the scalp is extremely low. Since I was early stage I wasn’t too concerned about it.
Cold capping using a manual system like Penguin is not for everyone. It is a lot of work and you need to be dedicated and follow all the hair care instructions for at least 6 months after your treatment ends for best results. You also need a dedicated helper and a reliable source for slabs of dry ice.
I didn’t find the coldness intolerable. Cold capping will also add a few hours to your treatments, so it can be a lengthy day. My infusion team was very accommodating and let me stay there as long as I needed.
I was happy with my results and glad I did it. Good luck to you if you decide to do it. If you have additional questions please don’t hesitate to ask.
