Cooling cap and chemotherapy: a false solution? The French alternative from RENASCOR
Regularly presented as an innovation, the cooling cap has in fact been used for years in France to try to limit hair loss during chemotherapy.
Its principle: a gel pack cooled to –25 °C, placed on the scalp during sessions.
By slowing blood circulation, this intense cold prevents chemotherapy from properly diffusing into the hair bulbs. The hair is then partially protected… but this process raises serious limitations.
The limits and dangers of the cooling cap
Relative effectiveness: hair length and density play a major role. Oncologists even advise shaving or cutting hair very short before its use, so that the cold penetrates better.
Almost no comfort: intense migraines, neck pain, sensations of cold burns… Many patients give up quickly.
A medical risk: by deliberately blocking the distribution of the treatment in certain areas, the cap could allow cancer cells to escape and increase the risk of recurrence.
That is why many oncologists refuse its use: their priority remains to treat the cancer effectively, before any aesthetic consideration.
REDACTIV®: the French innovation that respects the treatment
At the RENASCOR Laboratory, we make a different choice.
Our priority is clear: never compromise the effectiveness of anticancer treatment. But that does not mean abandoning patients to their suffering from alopecia.
Our innovation, REDACTIV®, acts after chemotherapy to:
-
Quickly and evenly reactivate dormant bulbs,
-
Soften the connective sheath altered by the treatment, which influences hair texture and diameter,
-
Heal and soothe the epidermis, thanks to reparative active ingredients,
-
Accelerate regrowth with a synergy of patented active ingredients, validated by clinical studies.
It's a comprehensive approach: the scalp, the connective sheath and the bulb are addressed simultaneously, for faster and more uniform hair regrowth.
A solution available since 2018
Little known to the general public, this 100% French-made innovation has been distributed since 2018 in specialized pharmacies and on the official website of the RENASCOR Laboratory.
The clinical results are spectacular, restoring hope and confidence to thousands of patients.
At the RENASCOR Laboratory, we assert: the patient's life is the priority.
But regaining one's hair quickly, in its natural shape and density, is also regaining one's identity, confidence and dignity after illness.
Cancer concerns us all!
