Super cooling the scalp mildly constricts tiny blood vessels around hair follicles, a process called vasoconstriction. This helps to isolate the follicles from the drugs so that they don’t die. This in turn results in a significantly reduced amount of hair loss.

A specially designed cap filled with frozen gel is placed on your head about an hour before treatment begins. The cap is super cooled to about -32˚Celsius (-25.6˚F) with dry ice.

The caps are changed every 20 minutes or so to ensure they stay cold. You wear the cap during the infusion and then for 4 hours afterward.
