Understanding Hair Loss from Chemotherapy and Cranial Radiation

Chemotherapy and cranial radiation are life-saving treatments, but they can also cause hair loss and scalp sensitivity. These treatments target fast-growing cancer cells, but they also affect hair follicles, leading to hair thinning or complete hair loss. The impact varies for each person, and hair regrowth may take time.

​

At Restore Hair Loss and Scalp Clinic, we specialize in helping individuals manage hair loss during and after cancer treatments. Our expert trichologists provide personalized solutions to protect your scalp, encourage regrowth, and restore confidence.

How Chemotherapy and Radiation Affect the Scalp

  • Hair Loss (Alopecia): Hair may fall out in patches or completely, depending on the treatment type and dosage.

  • Scalp Sensitivity: The skin on the scalp may become dry, itchy, or tender.

  • Delayed Regrowth: After treatment, hair regrowth may be slow, thin, or have a different texture.

  • Weakened Hair Structure: New hair may be finer or more fragile than before.

 

Scalp Care During and After Treatment

Proper scalp care can reduce discomfort and create a healthy environment for hair regrowth.

  • Gentle Cleansing: Use mild, sulfate-free shampoos to avoid irritation.

  • Moisturizing: Keep the scalp hydrated with nourishing oils and gentle creams.

  • Sun Protection: Wear a soft hat or scarf to protect sensitive skin from UV rays.

  • Avoid Heat and Chemicals: Skip harsh treatments like dyeing, perming, or excessive heat styling.

 

Hair Regrowth and Restoration

Regaining healthy hair takes time, but the right treatments can speed up the process.

  • Trichological Treatments: Specialized scalp therapies to boost follicle health and promote regrowth.

  • Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): Stimulates hair follicles to encourage faster, stronger regrowth.

  • Nutritional Support: Supplements and diet plans to support hair health from within.

  • Customized Wigs & Toppers: High-quality, natural-looking wigs designed for comfort and confidence.
