Paxman Scalp Cooling

Paxman Scalp Cooling The global leader in scalp cooling. We help cancer patients worldwide to retain their hair during chemotherapy

When Sue Paxman lost her hair while receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer, her family shared her distress. Sue's husband, Glenn Paxman founded Paxman on the back of this experience and to this day we remain a close family business. Knowing first-hand the effects that both cancer and its treatment can have on patients, friends and families, our business is much more than just a job. We aim to make a difference to people’s lives by raising awareness about scalp cooling and establishing it as a common practice for all patients undergoing treatment. As the leading global manufacturer and supplier of scalp cooling equipment, we work in partnership with medical professionals, research centres, cancer support groups, charities and patients to continually improve our technology. Investing in scientific testing and development has allowed us to attain outstanding technical precision and the highest levels of clinical efficacy. We strive to gain further knowledge and understanding of hair loss prevention for cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. We are committed to giving patients a degree of control during chemotherapy treatment. We have made it our responsibility to offer advice, support and access to scalp cooling for cancer patients no matter where they are based in the world. Having been through the same journey as many patients and their families, we are dedicated to empowering people by giving them the choice to keep their hair.

Yesterday, another US state made the landmark decision to support patients further during their chemotherapy treatment and mandate insurance coverage for Mechanical Scalp Cooling in the state of Maryland! A massive thank you and congratulations to Rossalynn Ripper who was the driving force behind this bill, who's experience of scalp cooling and passion to help benefit future Marylanders going through treatment was inspiring. Rossalynn's testimony alongside other advocates, Delegates and the bill's sponsor Delegate LaToya made this a reality. Yesterday's bill signing is one more step towards equitable access to scalp cooling for all.

At the beginning of this month, West Virginia became the first state since the introduction of CPT Category I codes for mechanical scalp cooling to pass legislation requiring insurance providers to cover scalp cooling. Starting in January 2027, West Virginia will become the third U.S. state to mandate insurance coverage for scalp cooling, joining New York and Louisiana, where similar legislation has been in effect since early 2026.

A heartfelt thankyou goes to the advocates whose powerful testimonies about chemotherapy-induced hair loss and their experiences with scalp cooling during cancer treatment helped make this milestone possible.

Today is World Health Day, and this year's theme is “Together for health. Stand with science.” Innovations like scalp cooling exist because patients, researchers, and clinicians chose to stand with science and push boundaries.

Clinical trials turn ideas into evidence, and evidence into real-world solutions that improve not just survival, but quality of life. Scalp cooling is one example of how research continues to make cancer treatment more compassionate and patient-centered.

Cancer can be a life-threatening disease and chemotherapy is a challenging, necessary process and part of their treatment. Patients may have also endured radiotherapy and surgery. After cancer has taken away so much already, their hair is one of the few things they can have some control over, especially if your friend or loved one has had surgery or other treatments which can also significantly change a patient’s body.
