Paxman Scalp Cooling

Paxman Scalp Cooling The global leader in scalp cooling. We help cancer patients worldwide to retain their hair during chemotherapy

When Sue Paxman lost her hair while receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer, her family shared her distress. Sue's husband, Glenn Paxman founded Paxman on the back of this experience and to this day we remain a close family business. Knowing first-hand the effects that both cancer and its treatment can have on patients, friends and families, our business is much more than just a job. We aim to make a difference to people’s lives by raising awareness about scalp cooling and establishing it as a common practice for all patients undergoing treatment. As the leading global manufacturer and supplier of scalp cooling equipment, we work in partnership with medical professionals, research centres, cancer support groups, charities and patients to continually improve our technology. Investing in scientific testing and development has allowed us to attain outstanding technical precision and the highest levels of clinical efficacy. We strive to gain further knowledge and understanding of hair loss prevention for cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. We are committed to giving patients a degree of control during chemotherapy treatment. We have made it our responsibility to offer advice, support and access to scalp cooling for cancer patients no matter where they are based in the world. Having been through the same journey as many patients and their families, we are dedicated to empowering people by giving them the choice to keep their hair.

Momentum for insurance coverage for mechanical scalp cooling when administered by a qualified healthcare professional in the United States is growing! Building on statewide insurance mandates enacted in January in New York and Louisiana, 11 states are now pursuing legislation requiring insurance coverage for provider-delivered scalp cooling therapy to help patients manage chemotherapy-related side effects. Thanks to support from both patient advocates and Delegates many are in their final stages before being signed into law.

In January 2026, Category I CPT® codes for scalp cooling came into effect across the U.S. This created a standard way for oncology practices to report and bill for the treatment through insurance. Clinics are now more encouraged to move from self-pay models to insurance-based billing reimbursement, supporting wider coverage as scalp cooling use continues to grow.
