Chemotherapy may destroy your cancer, but it doesn’t have to destroy your hair.
Minimize Hair Loss
Comfortably. Conveniently. Confidently.
Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy have faced the almost inevitable prospect of losing their hair. While scalp cooling during chemotherapy has long been known as an effective method to help to prevent that hair loss, until recently patients in the U.S. did not have access to an FDA-cleared scalp cooling treatment.
In 2015 the FDA gave clearance to The DigniCap® Scalp Cooling System. It is now indicated to reduce the likelihood of chemotherapy-induced alopecia in cancer patients with solid tumor cancers.
For over a decade, DigniCap® has successfully helped thousands of patients outside the United States. Now, with FDA clearance, infusion centers across the country will be able to offer this important treatment option directly to U.S. patients as part of their chemotherapy treatment.
DigniCap® is already available in many infusion centers across the country, with more being added every week. Patients should talk with their physicians and infusion centers in their area to explore adding the DigniCap® treatment to their chemotherapy regimen.

Engineered with the Boa® Closure System, ensuring a close fit for optimal results during the scalp cooling process to minimize chemotherapy induced hair loss.
