Welcome To The Polar Shift

Our goal is to empower every individual facing chemotherapy-induced hair loss to make informed decisions about their care and take control of their treatment experience. Through amplified awareness, comprehensive education, and championing broader access to Scalp Cooling Technology, we envision a future where every cancer patient has the knowledge and resources they deserve to navigate their journey with greater confidence, comfort and dignity.

hair loss is optional

Chemotherapy-induced hair loss is widely recognized as one of the most distressing and traumatic side effects of cancer treatment, yet most patients are unaware that they may have a choice in the matter. For over 25 years, a drug-free, minimally invasive, proven, hair-saving technology has been in existence, allowing hundreds of thousands of patients worldwide to successfully keep their hair. The founders of The Polar Shift are shining examples, each preserving over 90 % of their hair thanks to this transformative therapy.

You have a right to know

Cancer patients face a multitude of difficult choices during an extremely vulnerable time. To navigate this journey effectively, they deserve access to comprehensive information about all viable treatment options, including scalp cooling technology, as it holds immense potential to improve quality of life and overall well-being throughout treatment and beyond.

Empowering patients with this knowledge is a fundamental right. It allows them to make informed decisions about their care, aligning treatment choices with their individual goals and preferences.

Emotional Health Matters

This movement is more than just about saving hair—it’s about recognizing the power of emotional well-being in managing disease and achieving the best possible outcomes.

We know the mind and body are deeply connected. This connection is especially crucial during recovery. Positive self-image and strong emotional health become powerful allies, boosting strength and reducing stress. Lower stress levels lead to reduced inflammation and a stronger immune system.

Hair-saving options during chemotherapy can be a life-changing tool, nurturing confidence and perseverance, while fostering a positive mental and emotional state that can have a ripple effect on physical health. Saving one's hair becomes a powerful symbol of hope and resilience, a guiding light on the path to survivorship, and a tangible reminder of the body's healing power.
