Chemotherapy and radiation
-
Many radiation and chemotherapy
patients experience hair loss during their treatment. This could last
anywhere from a year up, meanwhile there are solutions to this excessive
hair loss. Custom made full skull-caps are especially designed to cover
the entire balding area from the widow’s peak all the way to the nape
of the neck. This gives the patient a full head of natural looking hair,
similar to the way they had it before the hair loss.
Chemotherapy and cancer treatment hair loss
Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy,
chemotherapy drugs, and radiation may result in hair loss. This can vary
from temporary to permanent hair loss. While with chemotherapy the hair
loss is usually temporary when it comes to radiation it can go either
way.
With chemotherapy if an individual is
going to lose their hair varies with each patient. Some people
experience hair loss that usually begins one to three weeks after the
beginning of treatment, others do not experience hair loss at all. The
hair loss due to chemotherapy usually starts growing back anywhere from
six months to a year after the treatment.
Since custom made cranial prosthesis
take six to eight weeks to be produced depending on the time of the
year, it is better to order your prosthesis before the hair loss occurs.
By planning in advance it is also possible for David Hansen the hair
replacement specialist(main page) to match your original hair color,
texture, and wave pattern.
