Chemotherapy and Hair Loss

Chemotherapy may result in partial or total hair loss, however in general, such effects are usually temporary and full regrowth will occur.

Different drugs will have different effects; some are more likely to produce hair loss than others. The effect on the hair will also vary from patient to patient.

Managing the effects

Clients who experience hair loss during their treatment visit Lucinda Ellery Consultancy to help manage their hair loss until their own hair recovers.

We recommend that you wait until your course of chemotherapy treatment is completed before you visit us for your consultation. You may however find it reassuring to contact us and enquire about our services before this, so that you are aware of the options available to you.

For more information on managing hair loss during chemotherapy treatment please see our Chemotherapy Fact Sheet

The Intralace System™ may be a suitable option for those patients who experience hair loss from chemotherapy as it is possible for us to create a full head of hair for you with as little as 1.5 inches of re-growth.

The Intralace cranial hair prosthesis is fully integrated with your hair allowing you to look after it as if it was your own.

Hair Regrowth

You may find that your hair grows back a different colour and texture due to the chemotherapy. You may also find that your hair grows back quite quickly, therefore you may not require the Intralace System™ for its full life cycle which is normally between 18 months and 2 years.
