Hey

I have heard of you losing hair through this treatment but found out recently that you have to ask for a 'cold cap' they will not offer you this and you have to ask, it is a cap that freezes the follicles whilst your on the treatment and you have to leave it on for approx 20 mins afterwards, how true this is I am unsure, but am going to ask when I start my treatment in the next few weeks, but I must stipulate you do have to ask for it.

Hope this helps

Mark
