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 ma

ke 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.

Extremadura workshops complete 👏

Last week we partnered with Dr. Santiago González, medical oncologist at Oncología Médica del Hospital Universitario San Pedro de Alcántara, Spain, and Rocío Valentín, Head Nurse, to deliver multiple training workshops across the Extremadura region in Spain.

Hands-on training like this matters. The more nurses and clinical teams who feel confident delivering scalp cooling, the more patients can access it as part of their chemotherapy care.

We are grateful to have worked alongside such dedicated teams across the region, and proud to keep supporting training that expands access for patients.

When data and human impact are combined, the value of scalp cooling becomes even clearer. With over 20 years of clinical evidence and one of the largest real‑world scalp cooling studies, data shows that chemotherapy hair loss is not inevitable. But evidence alone doesn’t capture what this means in real life.

For people like Heather and Kathy, keeping their hair supported a sense of normality, confidence and control at a time when so much felt uncertain.

Clinical data and patient experience together are why we believe scalp cooling should form part of the standard for modern cancer care. Read more: https://paxmanscalpcooling.com/the-route-to-hair-retention-why-scalp-cooling-is-a-key-element-of-the-cancer-treatment-journey/

In support of Walk the Walk’s 30th anniversary, 21 members of the Paxman UK team are taking on The MoonWalk in London on the 16th May👏

Walk The Walk has been part of the Paxman story for a long time. In our early days, they helped fund donations of scalp cooling systems to UK hospitals. That support made a huge difference, helping scalp cooling become more widely available across the UK and giving more patients the option to use Paxman Scalp Cooling during treatment.

In recognition of our longstanding relationship, we're walking in honour of Walk the Walk founder, Nina Barough, who is stepping down this year after three decades with the organisation.

With four weeks to go, every donation helps 📅

So if you are able to donate, we're really grateful! Here's the link: https://bit.ly/4sGR3fl

If your friend or loved one is going through chemotherapy, one of the most demanding experiences a person can face in their lives, there are a range of ways you can support them through their treatment. Choosing to scalp cool will to help preserve their hair, protect their follicles and to maintain some normalcy in their lives during such a tough time.

An engaged support network can be a really important component of getting through cancer treatment, but it can be difficult to know what is best to say to someone and how to make them feel cared for. For more advice, visit our patient education website coldcap.com.

Yesterday, another US state made the landmark decision to support patients further during their chemotherapy treatment and mandate insurance coverage for Mechanical Scalp Cooling in the state of Maryland! A massive thank you and congratulations to Rossalynn Ripper who was the driving force behind this bill, who's experience of scalp cooling and passion to help benefit future Marylanders going through treatment was inspiring. Rossalynn's testimony alongside other advocates, Delegates and the bill's sponsor Delegate LaToya made this a reality. Yesterday's bill signing is one more step towards equitable access to scalp cooling for all.

At the beginning of this month, West Virginia became the first state since the introduction of CPT Category I codes for mechanical scalp cooling to pass legislation requiring insurance providers to cover scalp cooling. Starting in January 2027, West Virginia will become the third U.S. state to mandate insurance coverage for scalp cooling, joining New York and Louisiana, where similar legislation has been in effect since early 2026.

A heartfelt thankyou goes to the advocates whose powerful testimonies about chemotherapy-induced hair loss and their experiences with scalp cooling during cancer treatment helped make this milestone possible.

Paxman surveyed our community of patients to find real opinions on what they liked to hear while scalp cooling. Scalp cooling is a really personal decision and there are many motivations as to why your friend or loved one has chosen to scalp cool but retaining their hair can provide privacy, normalcy and an element of control while they are dealing with one of the most challenging situations there is.

Today is World Health Day, and this year's theme is “Together for health. Stand with science.” Innovations like scalp cooling exist because patients, researchers, and clinicians chose to stand with science and push boundaries.

Clinical trials turn ideas into evidence, and evidence into real-world solutions that improve not just survival, but quality of life. Scalp cooling is one example of how research continues to make cancer treatment more compassionate and patient-centered.

Today we'd like to wish those celebrating a happy and peaceful Easter Sunday, surrounded by loved ones, particularly if you're navigating a cancer diagnosis. We hope that you find time you need for celebration, reflection, and rejuvenation on this special day.

With so much momentum building in the US reimbursement landscape already this year and multiple new bills being introduced to both the House and State Senates we want to share a heartfelt thank you to those who are the driving force behind this push for change and equitable access to scalp cooling.
