Styrkelse af kræftpatienters selvtillid med kølehætteterapi

For kræftpatienter, der modtager kemoterapi, kan det være en vanskelig oplevelse at tabe håret. Hårtab kan påvirke en patients selvtillid og selvopfattelse. Men der er behandlinger, der kan hjælpe patienter med at bevare deres hår og dermed føle sig mere som sig selv.

Med din hjælp gør vi disse behandlinger tilgængelige for flere patienter. RevitaLash® Cosmetics har fornyet vores partnerskab med Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara og har lovet et toårigt tilskud på 100.000 dollars til at levere koldhættebehandling til kræftpatienter. Berettigede patienter på Ridley-Tree Cancer Center og UCLA Health i Santa Barbara, Californien, vil modtage gratis skalpkølebehandlinger for at hjælpe dem med at bevare deres hår under kemoterapi.

What Is Cold Cap Therapy?

Cold cap, or scalp cooling treatments can help people undergoing chemotherapy prevent hair loss on the head – a common side effect of chemotherapy drugs. Patients wear the cap before, during, and after their chemotherapy infusion. The cap circulates coolant liquid to cool the patient’s scalp, restricting blood flow to hair follicles which in turn limits damage to the follicles.

Eligible patients at Ridley-Tree Cancer Center and UCLA Health will receive free treatment with the Paxman Scalp Cooling System thanks to our grant. The innovative Paxman system, renowned globally for its effectiveness, has assisted over 100,000 patients in more than 50 countries.

How Will the Cold Cap Program Support Patients?

This initiative aims to provide vital support to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment. Many patients are unable to afford or access scalp cooling treatments as they undergo treatment for cancer. Our grant will make cold cap therapy available free of charge to eligible patients at Ridley-Tree Cancer Center and UCLA Health Santa Barbara.

"We believe in the transformative power of programs like the Cold Cap Program and the work being done at the Ridley-Tree Cancer Center and UCLA Medical Center,” says Dariel Sidney, Vice President of Philanthropy at RevitaLash® Cosmetics and daughter of our Co-Founder, Gayle Brinkenhoff. “It is about more than hair; it’s about preserving a patient's self-image and identity during a challenging time. RevitaLash Cosmetics is committed to supporting initiatives that promote hope and healing while making a real difference in the lives of those affected by cancer."

“We are so excited to partner with UCLA Health to expand access to their cancer patients for the Cold Cap Program generously funded by RevitaLash Cosmetics,” says Lori Willis, Executive Director, Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara. “Therapies like these are an important part of supportive care that treats the whole person, not just their cancer.”
