Refrigerated Helmet Chemotherapy

THE Neivia refrigerated helmet minimizes the hair loss caused by chemotherapy.

Numerous clinical trials have shown that hypothermia, i.e., lowering the temperature of the scalp, reduces the risk of alopecia. caused by the anti-cancer treatments such as Taxol , FEC For example.

THE Neivia's refrigerated helmet promotes vasoconstriction in the hair bulbs, starting at the base of the neck. This means that the vessels constrict in the cold, preventing large chemotherapy molecules from entering. This therefore preserves your hair.

THE cooling helmet remains flexible at all temperatures and perfectly covers the entire head.

What to expect during the session?

Before the session:

• Preparation : The helmet is placed on your head before the start of chemotherapy. It must be in good contact with the scalp.
• Duration : The helmet must be worn before, during, and after chemotherapy. This can last between 1 and 3 hours depending on your treatment.

During the session:

• Sensations : Initially, you will feel a sensation of intense cold that may last 10 to 15 minutes. After this, most patients get used to it. You may experience a headache or a tingling sensation.
