What is Cold Cap Therapy<\/h2>\n

Cold capping or scalp cooling is a drug-free and non-invasive\u00a0technique of scalp cooling, proven to be successful in minimizing hair loss, reducing minor injury oedema (swelling) and when used as part of a healthy lifestyle may help to relieve the impact of migraine or headache symptoms and other trichology conditions.<\/b><\/p>\n

Unless you’ve cold capped before, you’re unlikely to have come across cold capping – and even if you’ve have, chances are you still weren’t told about it.<\/p>\n

However, the medical world is slowly coming around to the fact that our personal appearance has a massive impact on how we feel. More and more doctors are recommending cold capping and see it as a part of your wellbeing. In fact, 57% of Penguin patients have been referred by their doctor.<\/p>\n \n <\/article>\n\n <\/div> \n\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n

How does cold capping work?<\/h2>\n

Cold cap therapy involves fitting a specially designed cap, filled with our trademarked Crylon gel to your head to cool the hair follicles. This cools the hair capillaries (blood vessels), reducing the metabolic rate of the follicles, so they go into a hibernated state.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You need to wear the caps continually changing every 20 to 25 minutes to ensure you maintain your scalp at the correct temperature.<\/p>\n

You need to continue to wear the caps for the time prescribed in your personalized schedule, to give the body time to dilute and clean out. Your Penguin rep will include this in your personalized schedule.<\/p>\n <\/article>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

What kind of results can I expect?<\/h2>\n

You can expect to retain between 60% and 90% of your hair \u2013 although the precise amount of hair shedding will depend on a multitude of factors including your physical wellbeing.<\/p>\n

Hair shedding is normal<\/h2>\n

Many people are concerned about the amount of shedding \u2013 but this is normal. As long as the hair loss is evenly spread, it’s unlikely to show.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cold Caps reduce the damage to the hair follicles, but they can’t protect them completely. The toxins that cause your hair to fall out accelerates the hair cycle, and as a result, the older hairs are pushed out earlier, which is why patients experience shedding. But you won’t lose it all.<\/p>\n

You might not have as much hair, and it\u2019s likely to feel thinner, but success for most people is to save enough so that no one notices\u2026 other than you.<\/p>\n

“<\/span>There was no way a machine-based scalp cooling system could compare to the manual technique that the cappers use to mold each cap to my head. It was well worth the investment“<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n\n \n

Different types of Cold Caps<\/h2>\n

There are two different types of Cold Cap Therapy \u2013 Manual and Machine. Penguin Cold Caps is a manual system that has been proven to give the best results.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Manual capping enables patients to walk around the clinic, visit the bathroom and continue to wear the cold caps on the way home. With machine capping, the cap maintains its temperature because it is connected to a machine, but it means that the patient can\u2019t move around without disconnecting.<\/p>\n

Machine capping is more straightforward \u2013 the caps don’t need to be changed during treatment, and there’s no need to keep checking the temperature. However, patients who choose to cap with a manual system achieve much better results. And after all, the only reason you\u2019re choosing to cap is because you want to minimize hair loss.<\/p>\n <\/div> \n \n
