Scalp cooling Australia and New Zealand. Helping thousands of people worldwide to keep their hair and their dignity through cancer chemotherapy treatment
The revolutionary Paxman scalp cooling (or cold cap) system is responsible for helping thousands of people worldwide to keep their hair and their dignity through cancer chemotherapy treatment.
As a family business borne out of our Chairman’s wife losing her hair whilst receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer, Paxman know first-hand that this is often devastating. We also know that the fear of hair loss has even been known to cause refusal of treatment by 8% of applicable patients. Patient care is at our heart and it is our goal to ensure that everyone, no matter where in the World, has the opportunity to maintain their dignity and normality by keeping their hair.
