Scalp Cooling Comes To Abu Dhabi

Paxman have recently delivered an Orbis Paxman scalp cooling machine to the Al Noor Hospital in Abu Dhabi, the first of its kind in the region. It has already been used by 16 patients with an incredible 74% success rate.

One of the most distressing side effects of chemotherapy treatment is hair loss. Scalp cooling can reduce or prevent hair loss by lowering the temperature of the head and scalp immediately before, during and after chemotherapy, minimising the damage caused to the hair follicles.

Dr.Kassem Alom, CEO of AL Noor Hospitals Group said that installing and using the new device, which is considered the first of its kind in the region is part of the Group’s strategy to provide the best treatment methods that will enhance the patient’s psychological state and encourages commitment to the chemo-therapeutic sessions in the field of cancer treatment.
