What Is Cancer-Related Hair Loss?
Your body can undergo a wide variety of changes as a result of cancer treatment. For many individuals, hair loss is an unfortunate side effect, causing them to feel embarrassed or like they've lost a part of who they are. Even worse, hair loss can serve as a constant, unwanted reminder of what you're going through. At Hair Saviours, we believe everyone deserves to feel confident and good about themselves, and we're proud to help by offering customized solutions for those dealing with cancer-related hair loss. Led by certified trichologist Monica Dickenson, our Stafford, VA practice offers an approach built around empathy, compassion, and a focus on your needs. We're here to help you take back your confidence so get started by reaching out to schedule a consultation.
What Solutions Do You Offer for Cancer-Related Hair Loss?
Contrary to popular belief, not every patient undergoing cancer treatment experiences total hair loss. Some may experience thinning hair or partial loss. At Hair Saviours, we offer realistic hair replacements designed to mimic the look, feel, and movement of natural hair. These prostheses can be customized for a variety of styles and needs, whether you want something that will blend in with your natural hair or are looking for a full cranial hair replacement. For those who find that their hair is not growing back as fully as they would like after their treatment, we also offer a selection of hair restoration options as scalp detox. Whatever your needs are, Monica will be happy to assist with personalized solutions.
Why Does Hair Loss Occur During Cancer Treatment?
The most common cause of cancer-related hair loss is chemotherapy. While chemotherapy drugs are often effective at destroying cancer cells, they can also impact your body's healthy cells, including the ones responsible for hair growth. Some other known causes of cancer-related hair loss include:
- Radiation therapy
- Biological changes caused by hormone therapy
- Side effects related to the immune system (immunotherapy)

My initial consultation appointment with Hair Saviours was excellent. I was given information that helped me decide the best option to move forward on my journey to a healthy scalp and hair regrowth. My first appointment was EXTRAORDINARY! Monica is very knowledgeable and was very patient and professional, responding to my many questions as we went through the process. I felt at ease as she went through each step as well as proving an explanation of the products and supplements for my individual needs. So glad I found Hair Saviours!
