Losing one's hair is one of the many things that makes chemotherapy difficult. In fact, it is estimated that six percent of cancer patients will refuse to get chemotherapy because they do not want to lose their hair.

Hair loss is an outward sign that one is sick. When many people lose their hair, they feel as though they lose their identity. They often look in the mirror and are not able to recognize themselves. That is why it is upsetting for many patients.

The good news is that there is a new device designed to help reduce chemotherapy-induced hair loss.

The device is called the DigniCap Cooling System, and it was first approved by the Food And Drug Administration back in December 2015.

It works by circulating a coolant through a silicone skull cap. A person will need to wear the cap for at least half hour before, during and after a chemotherapy session.

The Digni Cooling System was created by a Dignitina, which is a Swedish company. The device is a lot like an air conditioner for one's head. It helps prevent hair loss by keeping one's head within the optimal temperature range. The temperature of the coolant ranges from 37 degrees Fahrenheit to 41 degrees Fahrenheit. The DigniCap Cooling System does not cause discomfort or skin damage if it is used properly.

Bill Cronin is Dignitina's chief operating officer. He has stated that the studies done to test the effectiveness of the DigniCap Cooling System have been promising. Seventy percent of women who received this hair-saving treatment were able to go outside without wearing a scarf or hat. The patients lost some hair, but the hair loss was not severe enough for them to feel the need to cover it.

Many patients are pessimistic and depressed after losing their hair. Those feelings can have a negative effect on one's outlook. Because the DignitiCap Cooling System can help patients keep their hair, it can have a positive effect on a patient's attitude. It is important to note that cancer patients who maintain a positive outlook typically have better outcomes.
